Numerous School Law
Changes Early in July

Many changes in the school laws
Of the State will become operative early
next month The most far-reaching
change, and one which must take rank
with the abolition of the old district sys-
tenn in favor Of the town system of
school management. is the act providing
for the including of all schools under pre-
fessional supervision. AS originally
drafted bill provided for the approval
by the State superintendent Of schools OF
the dismissal Of any superintendent and
also for tenure of ONCE for three years.
Both Of these provisions were. however,
stricken from the bill. the former by ac-
ton of the committee and the latter by
floor amendment.
BY an act to provide for the registrs-
ton of teachers the State superintendent
Of schools is required to establish a State
teachers agency in connection with hts
enroll for a three years period by pay
ing fee Of SO and will then be eligible
for recommendation for positions without
further expense for that length of time.
To what extent teachers desiring posi-
tons will avail themselves of this priv-
lege Is Of course entirely predetermined.
The experience Of other states in this
venture shows that a comparatively
small number may be expected to enroll
during the first year but that the number
increases rapidly thereafter.
An amendment to the school building
law makes necessary the approval by the
