DELEGATE BOYER: Mr. President,
our Committee on General Provisions last
night met until after 10:00 A.M. hearing
from our list of scheduled witnesses. This
completes all scheduled testimony on edu-
cation.
This morning we started taking explora-
tion of the sense of the committee on some
educational practices before us. We will
continue this this afternoon immediately
after the session and again tomorrow
morning at 10:00 A.M.
The latter part of the week, Thursday
and Friday, for the benefit of the Conven-
tion, we have blocked out for hearing on
militia problems.
Next week, following Delegate Sher-
bow's suggestion, we will be hearing from
individual delegates as to their own pro-
posals referred to the General Provisions
Committee.
Our format is to block out several large
categories of a variety of interests. We will
invite the individual delegates to speak
on their proposals at these individual cate-
gories. For the committee's benefit, we will
meet immediately after the session and
again tomorrow morning at 10:00 A.M.
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Scanlan.
DELEGATE SCANLAN: Mr. President,
the Committee on Rules will meet to-
morrow immediately after the session to

vention budget. The President and others
will testify.
Also germane to that hearing will be
resolutions No. 13 and 14 introduced by
Delegate Malkus.

announcements by committee chairmen?

DELEGATE MARION: Mr. President,
I would like to acknowledge this afternoon
the presence in the gallery behind the dele-

the Homewood School in Baltimore. They |
are here today to observe the Convention
as an exercise in the popular sovereignty
of the State of Maryland. They observed
some committee hearings this morning and
are here to observe the plenary session
this afternoon. They are here today with
their principal Mr. Massey and with the
teacher of the sixth grade, Mrs. Edward
Smith, of Baltimore County and several
parents of some of the students.
THE PRESIDENT: We are delighted to
have them here. (Applause.)
THE PRESIDENT: Delegate Beachley.
DELEGATE BEACHLEY: I would like
also to call the attention of the Convention
to the fact that there has been today a
group of students from the Hagerstown
Junior College that are very much in-
terested in the State of Maryland. They
were accompanied by their professor of
government, Mr. Donald G. Taylor.
THE PRESIDENT: We are delighted
to have them also. (Applause.)

you.
