educational institutions. These re-
quests will be laid before the educa-
lion committees of the two houses and
also before the committees on appro-
priations and finance. No bill will
be drawn until the whole matter has
been thoroughly considered by these
committees, and It is expected that
the measures as introduced will have
the approval Of the committees.
Frequent communications are re-
ceiyed by the state board of education
calling attention to various school pro-
blems and often urging certain defn-
lite action. The burden OF the great
majority of these communications is
finance and the complaint is almost
always the same, that the district is
levying all the law allows, and still
cannot maintain its schools. This cry
comes from every section of the state,
from cities and the open country,
wherever the number of children is
big and the mount OF taxable roper
ty Is small In proportion.
Among the most important of these
communications are a number of res
o~lutions from school boards of cities,
from county conventions of school
trustees, calling for some relief. The
most earnest attention is given to these
requests by the board and the depart
ment OF education, and every effort
VIII be made to secure IN improve
ment In the conditions. The state de-
partment of education Is preparing a
full and lucid report on school finance,
which will soon be laid before the
legislature and published for general
use.

EDUCATIONAL LEGISLATION,

The state board of education has the
duty OF reporting to the legislature
the needs of the state educational in
situations. In this task the state
board of education considers the pres
ent size and scope of the institutions
and n conservative forecast of what
the future will bring.
? After the board reports Il is then
up to the law-making authorlty-the
legislature and the governor. to de-
termine the extent to which, In their
Judgment. the state Is able and will
nng to meet these needs. or course
the board and Its officers desire and
seek the fullest conference with the
representatives of the law making
power. Conference has already been
held with the governor concerning
the legislative requests. and further
and fuller exchange OF views is ar
ranged forxh
In accordance with the practice
adopted at the previous session OF the
legislature the state board will pres
emit all measures advocated by II to
the appropriate committee OF the leg
islsture At the last session commit
tees OF the two houses often held joint
meetings to consider educational mea-
sures; this plan takes no more time for
the committees and greatly promotes
thorough understanding by all men,
bers and also results In the fullest
Interchange OF views. This plan also
economies the time Of the legislature
itself by transferring the discussion
Of details to the committee room.
This practice wni be followed with
