In an earlier publication of the Bureau, of Education — Bulletin, 1915, No. 47, “Digest of State laws relating to publib education” — pn effort was made to summarize all State school laws of a general . nature! which were in force on January 1, 1915. The purpose of the bulletin presented here is to s\ipplement the bulletin of 1915 with a ' compilation of the enactments of 1915, 191G, and 1917 wliich relate to education. The legislatures of 43 States were mu session in 1915 — all in fact except tliose of Kentncln^ Louisian^ Maryland, Missis- “ si Pin, and Virginia, which meet in even-numbered years. In 1910, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Maryland, Massachusetts Mississippi, Now Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, So\ith Carolina, and Viigin'ui held sessions of their legislative bodies, and a special session was held in California. All State legislatures which met in 1915 were again in session in 1917, except that of Alabama, whose lawmakers meet once in four years; The legislatipn of the years included in this compilation is pre- sented in digest, following the style of the bulletin which it is de-.^ signed to supplement. It is intended to include all ouactinents excepting those of distinctly local' character and excepting ordinary upproi)riatipns. - The Same method of presentation is used as in former publication^ of this character. The various items are clnssi-, fied under an outline which begins with general State administrative provisions and proceeds through The ents^ public-school system' , The enactments pi the Legislatures of Alaska, Hawaii, the Rhilip- pinesj^md Porto Rico are included. .
