thht IN the lolnt house ana senate com
mittee, when ~ investigating the de
partment OF public instruction, the
charge was made that the Copeland.
Wells course or study was throttled
at the meeting OF the supervising prin'
cipals.
As was the prime mover in putting
aside the course IN question, | believe
should restate my reasons for so
doing IN order That there may be no
misunderstanding on that subject.
The AFTERNOON OF the hist day-Sat-
urday - was gwen to the Copeland
Wells course OF study, Mr.. Wells read
ing and Mr.. Copeland making com
mcnts. as the afternoon was passing,
Mr.. Copeland asked permission to read
only part OF each subject, stating
he believed That was suiheient Tor an
understanding OF the course. Finally
the supervising principals called for
subjects and fourth grades OF that sub.
iect. In tins way all the essentials of
tho course were touched on tnat day.
On the Following Monday morning !
made the motion nat the reading oil
the Copeland Wells course be discon.
tinued and that the course then in
vogue be considered. The motion ear
ried by vote of to Z.
The following reasons prompted me
in making the motion:
f1rst-Ihe adoption OF the Copeland
Wells course meant the entire setting
aside of the existing course, which was
contrary TO the wishes OF the commis'
sioners, as expressed in their resolu'
