Substitute Education Bill.

After a debate lasting the greater
nart of Yesterday afternoon S session
land after various attempts at amend
mcnt had been made, some of which
were adopted. the house passed II 462,
known as the substitute educational
Ibill, bv a vote of almost eight to one,
the result of the vote being 200 in
| favor and % against its passage. The
original bill. known as II l70, has prob
ably been the subject Of more discus
sion at the four public hearings held
| On It than any other measure which has
II been introduced, and after the question
had then been thoroughly threshed
out, the committee, after long and
faithful work prepared the substitute
bin. much less drastic in its provisions,
which passed the house yesterday.
Mr.. Fairchild of Fairfield was the
Ionly member who spoke against the bill
las whole and stated that he did so for
1.-TWO principal reasons, one being his
i"old fashioned - belief that a town
should retain its rights and the other
lbased upon financial considerations due
Ito the fact of increased cost to his town
of from 50 800 TO $4,000, and TO the
Iarbitrary and unfair provision of the
TRANSPORTATION clause of the act. He
also objected to the power given the
state board of education to thrust
manual training upon schools and to
the lengthening Of the school year &c
ia weeks.
Various amendments were then Of
fered, one by Mr.. Moore OF Ludlow pro
viding that six instead OF 10 resident,
might petition for the establishment oi
of rural school and that eight instead
> of - pupils should be required as the
, number necessary for the establish
} ment of such school which was adopt
T ed; another by Mr.. Hapgood- of PERI
r which would limit the number of day
a teacher could be absent attendin.
educational meetings to five i'll year
and a third by Mr.. Moore Of LUDLOW
which would make it possible for we
men to be members Of the state boar,
of education, both of which were adopt
ed. An attempt was made by Mr.. Fair
child to limit the school year to 30 in
:. stead of 81 weeks, which was oppose
by Mr.. Blanchard of yershire. Mr. Sta
cey of Hartford and Mr. Lance 0
e Cabot, the latter stating that the con
} mittee thought the increase to 81 week
n was a necessary feature Of the bill, j
