On page 1 of the section substituted by Amend-

2

ment 1 in line 18 after the period add this new sentence:

3

"The board shall appoint a state superintendent

4

of schools who shall be its executive and professional

6

officer."

6

THE CHAIRMAN: The amendment having been sub-

7

mitted by Delegate Wheatley and seconded by the other

8

sponsors, the Chair recognizes Delegate Wheatley to

9

speak to the amendment.

10

DELEGATE WHEATLEY: Mr. Chairman, the amendment

11

should have been led by Delegate Kirkland. There was an

12

error. He wished to speak first on this.

13

THE CHAIRMAN: Very well. The Chair recognizes

14

Delegate Kirkland.

15

DELEGATE KIRKLAND: Mr. Chairman, I am not mad

16

at anyone. I am just glad that "queen BEE" instead of what you

17

did, and I admire Mrs. Key. I didn't really mean to upset

18

her. However, I must say this: even though I will accept

19

defeat graciously, I have been defeated in athletic programs

20

before in my life; so I have learned to take defeat, but

21

I would like to ask this assembly to support this amendment
