FOR SCHOOL FUND
House Committee Allows
$7,7O5,S0O in Report Today.
This Is Two Million More Than
Was Granted i'm 1919.

State educational institutions are
allowed a total of $f,705,800 for the
next biennium under a bill today by
the house ways and means committee.
The senate committees have approved
appropriations for $7.154, 500 for the
same institutions. The 1919 1egisla-
ture allowed these institutions a total
of S5,750,650.
While there is a difference of more
than half million dollars in the
house and senate bills, it is believed
that conference action will give the
schools several hundred thousand dol
lars more than the present senate al
lowances and slightly less than the
house bills. 1t is probable that the
appropriation measures will be taken
up in the next few days in an effort
to reach early conference decisions.
Many changes were made by the
house committee in she senate bill. 1t
is believed. tho. that in the main these
differences will be quickly adjusted by
conferees. Allowances by the house
committee today include:

 To the average city dweller, par ticularly those in the East, the ex- tent of the work of county agents in organizing farmers co-operatives will be almost astonishing. Certain business interests have criticized the attitude of the department, but it's pol icy is that the farmers business edu- cation must now be put on par with his education in production.

 To July l there had been 3SS, 900 ap- plications for vocational training, the committee found, adding that "al- though we are approaching the third anniversary of the armistice," only B. 050 have been rehabilitated.

Electricity for North Atlantic Coast

Electrification of the Boston Wash ington area, according to the report, would save 50,000.000 tons of coal an- nually by 1880, or $196,000.000 in fuel expenditure. While electrifcation of the railroads would save "11 to 19 per cent on their investment"
 In his letter to the President. Secre- tary Fall referred ito the obvious fact that it is by multiplying our manpow- CT by machines that American labor can best meet the competition of cheap foreign labor.
 'I believe" he continued, .the en- gineering facts and economic eonclu- sions here presented will command the attention alike of the financiers, railroad executives. public utility off, cials, industrial leaders. and others of that large group of our citizens of large vision who are building for the America of tomorrow.
 "These ecol 0mies on a truly nation al scale will affect not only coal, but capital expenditures as well, and es- pecially the output of human energy.
