ton for O kindergarten school for
children from four to six years OF
age? I don't personally believe in it.
and I don't oelieve any of you be-
lieve in it, and / think we have
plenty of school laws at the present

4 till be indefinitely postponed.
| Mr.. ALLEN Of York: Mr.. Presi-
cent, hope that the motion to in
definitely postpone this bill will not
prevail at this particular time, as
l would like to have the matter re-
tabled and have an opportunity to
! look it over. 1t passed through our
committee and seemed to be per-
fectly satisfactory, and perhaps after
, looking 1t over ! may be satisfied
! with it, although l realize that the
motion to indefinitely postpone takes
precedence over the motion to
table.
The presidents: Does the Sena-
tor care to make a motion?

Mr.. MORRISON: Mr.. President. I

| President, in order that there may be
no misunderstanding I will say that I
have looked over this matter and it is
for the purpose of correcting a record
for a certain plantation, if remember
! correctly. and 1t seems to me this is
in line with what legislatures in the
past have done, after taking the gen.
eral report of a committee, because
we are here to look after the business
of the State and its subdivisions, and
it seems to me this is quite important,
and I think there should be no objec-
tion to it.
