Mr. McLEAN submitted a resolution, which was adopted, directing the Committee on Education to inquire into the expediency of so modifying the duties of Superintendent of Public Instruction as to make them merely nominal; and whether under our constitution, said office cannot be wholly abolished.
Mr. THOMAS submitted an order that the Clerk be instructed to procure and lay on the desk of each member, a copy of the Report of the Joint Committee on Swamp Lands of the last session.
Mr. BRANHAM. Would not that require the printing of the Report if it could not be found? He hoped the printing would not be required. He believed they could get plenty of them down ot Vernon.
Mr. NEBEKER. He would inform the gentleman that the Swamp Land Report was incorporated in the journal of the last House of Representatives, now lying on each member's table. He moved to lay the order on the table.
The motion was agreed to.
