Senate passes educational land fund bill plans college endowment
The bill creates a fund from public land and patent sales profits to educate the nation. Treasury apportions yearly shares to states based on population ages five to twenty and allocates four percent interest, with ten year provisions favoring illiteracy. It funds college endowments and public schools, allows discretionary use for teacher training, and requires three to four months of free public schooling. The measure also extends technical education for women and preserves existing land laws.
