out about them before admitting
them to intimacy. In the same way
you should make sure whether the
mental friends that they make thru

or to destroy all the ideals that you
have been to so much pains to I'M
plant. Try the Youths Companion

day passed to engrossment the Dodd
House bill providing for state accept
ance of the Sheppard-TowRer congress

ties. The vote was II TO q with two
pairs. Senators Davis, Cousins and
Rice spoke against the measure before

A movement to repeal the entire state
text book law authorizing the state to
furnish free text books was started in
the Senate today with the introduction
by Senator Clarke of Schulenberg of
proposed constitutional amendment

lowed remarks by several members OF

bate on the. Pope text book bill that
they favored repeal of the law.
Senator Clark said reports from vari-
Gus parts Of state indicated that the
people favored repeal Of the free text
book law. He said law now on the
state text books would permit counties
to supply the free text books and that
he favored this plan. The proposal was
referred to committee without action.
The education committee reported fRv-
orably the Wood bill providing for a
survey OF the entire educational system
with an amendment increasing the ap-
preparation from $4,000 TO $4,000.
The Holbrook bill. which would pro
hibit the operation Of so-called - per
