ing with a varity of matters.
The hill introduced by Representa
tive Mann, requiring all public schools
employing" two or moire teachers to'
teach tenth grade students, which bill
was up for its passage to a third read

After the measure had been up for
consideration for some time, it was
finally passed to a third rending with
the amendment that the bill should
not apply to any district already main
taining a blgh school.
Another measure that" was up for
its passage to a third’reading had to
do with granting permission' to blind
or ignorant voters to secure assist
ance in filling out their ballot, was in

chief argument against the bill was
made by Representative Leopard of
