•w STATE LAWS RELATING TO EDUCATION, f - INTRODUCTION. The materia) presented in this compilation constitutes a second supplement to Bulletin, 1915, No, 4*7, “ Digest of State la\£s relating to public education,” the first such supplement having been em- bodied in Bulletin, 1918, No. 23. “State laws relating to education, enacted in 1915, 1916, nnd 1917.” The period covered* emends from January 1, 1918, to December 31, 1919, and the school legislation of all the States and the Territories and insular possessions is included. Six States — Georgia, Massachusetts, Xe\V Jersey, New York, Rhode Island, and South Curolina — hold annual sessions- of their legisla- tures, and their enactments, therefore, appear for both 1918 and 1919. Laws of distinctly local application and ordinary appropriations such as are made from year to year are omitted, except in a few cases where t he> secm of especial interest. The purpose of these “digests” of school laws is twofold: First, to present for the use of persons wishing it an index of all general State educational legislation; and, second, to summarize the enact- ments of the period covered in such manner as to show their main provisions and purposes. A third possible value of the work is { the “ trend ” of school legislation which may be seen in it. Without doubt, the States are now enacting their laws in less haphazard fashion than formerly. The tendency to enact laws in the light of the ln*st practice elsewhere and of the experience of other States with like legal provisions is more in evidence as each year passes. The bureau’s digests are designed to help along this tendency. The style of this bulletin follows that of the digest of 1915 and the supplement of 1918. A plan of classification embracing about 110 iteriis is arranged, and kindred enactments ,arc grouped under tho appropriate heading* It will be observed that the. plan begins, with general State administrative provisions and proceeds through the entire public-school system. ..
