Montana boards propose increases for state schools
The state board of education will urge the legislature to approve a 42 500 yearly rise for the University of Montana institutions, mainly to cover maintenance costs. About half the increase funds agricultural extension. 100 000 is recommended for a new Butte school of mines building. School expansions at Missoula and Bozeman are suggested, plus a vocational education bill for federal aid. A committee will study Boulder school expansion and possible segregation of deaf and blind children.
