the bill appeared in Annapolis from this some portion of
|
|
2
|
Article III, and the bill as printed, and so help me, it
|
|
3
|
was discovered by the Director of Research of the State
|
|
4
|
Department of Education, Miss Bessie Stern, and the bill
|
|
5
|
suddenly appeared with brackets around this very phrase,
|
|
6
|
public education, and we sent the word out. That is all
|
|
7
|
we did, sent the word out. You have never seen such a
|
|
8
|
crowd in Annapolis. They mobbed the place, frightened
|
|
9
|
about this, and what did the Judiciary Conunittee say? Oh,
|
|
10
|
why, this is horrible. Why, this is a printer's error,
|
|
11
|
and gentlemen, you know it was never a printer's error.
|
|
12
|
Printers don't make that kind of mistake. It was too
|
|
13
|
far removed from the part they v;ere amending, but the Com-
|
|
14
|
mittee very quickly amended it back in. That is the fear
|
|
15
|
of the people of this State.

THE CHAIRMAN: I would like very much to read
|
|
17
|
to you a part of the record that had something to do
|
|
18
|
with that, if I can put my finger on it, because you are
|
|
19
|
raising now a subject of primary importance, I think.
|
|
20
|
MR. BOND: I have one other question.
|
|

|
THE CHAIRMAN: Why don't you ask him that?
