This was declared- & dangerous pro cedure by a numtfer of educators, with the result that Senator Eddy agreed that the textbook commis sionand board of higher curricula should continue to function inde pendently of the board of educa tion.

The state superintendent of schools would be executive officer of the board, and would continue to be elected by the voters. The board would have authority to outline courses of study in the public schools, decide upon the educa tional standards, and have gene ral supervision over the element ary and high school system.
