 Said committee has conferred with the state council of defence regardins matters referred to in house joint res ! olution 99, and find that the fedora 1 government is no longer in coopera- tion with said council of defence in the matter of employment services; thai we believe the Americanization depart Inent can he continued under the di- rection of the board of education; that the child welfare department should bt
 
 board of health. By amendm ent vof the general statutes the scope of the worI of the board of education, the board o missioner should be extended and en. health and the duties of the labor com. larged without creating much addi- tional expense and will cover these phases of the work of the council of de. fense and will not necessitate the con tinuance of that body.
