Education Bill Meets Snag.
1t looks now as if II. B. No. 80 will
find its way to the table. = 1t is bill
permit ing the teaching of manual
training and courses in civic govern
ment in the different public schools
The bill has been favorlbly reported
OH by the educational committee. but
when it was called for third reading.
Senators Chillingworth and MetZger
demurred to it.
Il am afraid of it" stated Senator
Chillingworth THE bill says the
schools shall be permitted to teach
these subjects, yet nothing is said as
to how they are to teach them. 1t
appears to me that this is the fore
runner of another bill calling for extra
teachers, which will mean extra ex-
pense and must be figured in our APP
preparations.
Senator Metzger offered somewhat
similar objection, and suggested that
further action on it be deferred until
March 10th, which date was agreed
upon.
The senate adjourned a few min
utes after IL o'clock to join the rep
resentatives of the house, all of whom
accepted the invitation of President
