MONTPELIER, March 21.
If present indications can be regarded
as trustworthy, the death of the Stearns
bill (S-9S), which is confidently predicted
for the first full days session in the senate
this week viii not be the end of the edu-
cational problem. The Stearns bill will
undoubtedly be killed. but the chances are
that a substitute will be reported which
will provide for training classes at John
son and CaStletOn.
The senate committees on education and
educational institutions, which meet to-
night after the,evcning session. will prob
ably consider the report of a Sub-commit-
tee. consisting Of Senators Kingsley, Chat

and will present two different reports, ac-
cOrding to rumOr.
One proposed substitute bill. according
to corridor gossip. Is measure proposed
by Senator Chaffee which would permit
Castleton to have a training class but
makes no further provision. The Kings
lev substitute. however. will probably pro-
vide for both Johnson and Castleton in the
way of training classes, both by special
legislation and increased appropriation.
