School AFFAIRS
REFERRED TO
COMMITTEE
Many teachers Attend.


AS early as O'Clock yesterday the
teachers and pupils of the Normal
School began to file into the chamber
OF the senate, and by o'clock every
available chair was taken, as well as
the standing room.
When President Knudsen called for
the consideration of the report Of the
Joint committee on education, the
large audience moved nervously about,
as if anxious for the promised fight
TO begin.
Senator Judd rose first.
After reading the report carefully"
he said, Il have come to the coneil-
sion that all this senate can do is 10
order the report filed There are no
recommendations made in the report.
The only ones which are made are
found in the report of the sub-commit-
tee, and are only referred to in the
joint committees report. That being
the case, | ask that the report be
filed"
Report Simply Filed. 49,. . -
There is a marked difference in
adopting a report and fling one. In
the former case the senate is obliged
to carry out its recommendations and
in the latter case it merely becomes
the record of the Legislature. His mo-
tion prevailed. .:. 49,.
Pending the reading of the school
budget bill, which passed it's final
reading in the senate yesterday while
the Normal delegation listened, Sena-
tor H. B. PenhallOw, chairman of the
education committee, prepared reso-
luton, not, however, in his capacity
as chairman of the committee, calling
for special hold-over committee TO
investigate school conditions in the
territory during the next two years,
and report to the senate of 1915.
