those measures demanding attention
in the present short session Of

/ OF most widespread interest, no
doubt, is the Curtis Reed bill which
provides for establishment of a
federal department OF education

The chief function of the pro-

Bills for a department of educa-

Representative Tillman of Arkansas
and Green Of Florida, while Senator
Phipps is author of a measure to
extend the work of the bureau of

appeared to be many hundred years
