School Legislation Planned

With view to establishing definite
ly the needs of the State school system
in all particulars, so that a complete
program may be ready for the Legis-
lature next winter, the superintendent
of schools of each of the counties this
morning will open a three-day confer
ence in Baltimore. It will be followed
by similar conference, lasting two
davs, in which the county supervisors
will take part.
These conferences probably are the
most extensive and ambitious of any
State educational gathering held in
Maryland. They have been arranged
by Albert S. Cook, State Superinten-
dent. to supplement the private inves-
ugation work he AMI Assistant State
superintendent George II. Reavis have
neen conducting for several months.
lney will be followed next month by
a conference of all county superinten-
dents and members of all county
boards of education
superintendent Cook then plans to
consolidate the thought of all these
conferences and the results of his and
Mr. Reavis' investigations in a pro-
gram for presentation to the State
Board of Education. When that body
approves such a program, it will be
presented to Governor Ritchie, to be
Incorporated in his educational pro-
gram for the next session Of the Leg
lslature.
