The Governor said: II think this
bill is Il good measure. Our school

Speaker Sweet assured Miss VII
Vol he would do all he could to ia
cilitatc the passage OF this bill. I've
hope there will be no objection To- It

and the bin will become n law"
Senator Brown also showed great
interest in the measure and said that
he could not at present see any
thing Objectionable In tho bilr' and
he thought that It would DO favorably
considered In the Senate.
Objection had been made to the
by two Assemblymen from
small rural districts, claiming there
was no need for community forums.
In this connection Miss Wilson
pointed out the Importance Of having
people in rural sections get to-
gether" in tho schools for COM
munity interest, and In promoting
Americanism.
"Of course community forums are
already in operation In cities" said
Miss Wilson. but in many places tho
Board Of Education is put IN the
embarrassing position Of deciding
which private organization or society
shall conduct the community forum in
the public school.
Very often the school is used
for a propaganda of a private
organization to the detriment Of
the community interest. Also
people not in sympathy with the
private organization enjoying the
privilege Of the school, is de.
priVed Of community confer aetiv-
tiles. .
With the present bill, while
the Board Of Education may al

schools by organizations, the fret
