through this bill and the bill relating
to manual training, domestic science,
and agricultural courses. The state
graded schools giving special courses
in agriculture, and other industrial sub

board of education to have control of
all of the educational interests of the

and it is possible that it will fail be-
cause Of the inability Of the two houses
to agree upon this point.
