VIII Study Institutions
This committee will continue It's
series of talks by heads of Indian
apoliS educational institutions, to
learn more about these institutions
and means by which the committee
can assist them.
One of the principal activities of.
the committee, Millett said, will be
to bring about a change in election
of school board commissioners,
seeking provision for election OF
only three commissioners in 1929,
and election of two others, who
under the present law would be
elected in 1929, but would not take

Thus school board elections would
be held every two years, three COM
missioners being named one year,
and two others two years later.
