prosper as it should.

I think that education probably is the most

3

rapidly changing field that we now deal with in public

4

life. A recent quote from the Washington Post stated,

5

"Ideas for reorganizing public education are being cata-

6

pulted into the public arena like fireworks."

We of the Minority believe that the State should

8

be able to avail itself of these new ideas and adopt

9

those that it feels can be helpful. We submit that under

10

the Majority proposal this would be well nigh impossible.

11

Now, I would like to turn to the specific

12

language that is used by the Majority. Please understand

13

that in addition to the unique fact that the Committee

14

Chairman is not presenting the Majority Report but has

15

joined the Minority, and it is a 7-7-1 situation, there

16

is another unique situation in respect to this report in

17

that we in the Minority recommend an entirely new substi-

18

tute section. Those are the two paragraphs that appear

19

on the Minority Report. Those sections will be offered

20

as the debate schedule on your desk will indicate, as

21

substitutions for the Majority Report.
