Changes in State School Laws Legislation Reforms Finances

The last legislature enacted sixteen bills to revise school laws aimed at saving funds and simplifying administration. Key changes fix county superintendent salaries, curb dispersal of funds, and bar loans on non real estate security. A three line bill restricts loans, and a sweep against special charters and city powers reduces unique privileges. The reforms cut state certificates to a single continuous exam and phase out installments, altering general operations and credentialing. May 28. A separate note mentions the Universal Congress delegates and a banquet in Chicago with legal luminaries and governors in attendance.
