The state board of education recommends to the legislature this winter an extra 42 500 dollars yearly for University of Montana institutions over two years ago figures to cover maintenance costs. About half the increase funds agricultural extension.

A vocational bill is to be drafted to secure federal aid, and a special committee will consider expanding Boulder state school and possible deaf and blind segregation.
