Senator Jones eald the committee’s
recommendations wero in harmony
with plans for complete reorganiza­
tion of the state government along
lines of efficiency and economy.
A state board of education would
have supervision of all educational

Is contemplated In counties, the
county superintendent of schools be­

While tho University of Califor­
nia’s hoard of regents would come
into the department, according to
Senator Jonee, Its functions would
not be disturbed.
The plan contemplates raising of
said normal schools to the status of
colleges for teacher training, so that
the standard of teachers for elemen­
tary schools may be made higher.
Regional junior colleges would be set
up through the proposed system,
thus relieving congestion at the Uni­
versity of California's central Insti­
tution at Berkeley. Even if the
junior college plan Is put into effect.
Senator Jones estimates that the
university will have the same num­
ber of students, 10.000. tn the two

Under tho state department

units that would take over and com­

formed by school districts.
