Chap. 221.—An ACT to provide for the .continuance of the commission to
devise a stable method for the maintenance, management and expansion
of the educational institutions of the State.

Approved March 15, 1910.

Whereas, the demands made by the higher educational institutions
for money at each meeting of the general assembly should be met by some
systematic method based on the natural growth and needs of each insti-
tution, rather than on the amount of surplus in the State treasury that
may be available; and

Whereas, the present tendencies of these institutions appear to be
toward educational duplication and subsequent financial waste; there-
fore,

1. Be it enacted by the general assembly of Virginia, That the com-
mission consisting of seven persons appointed by the governor, four of
whom are and shall be experienced educators, whose duty it shall be.
after investigation, to devise stable and systematic method for the main-
tenance, management, and expansion of these institutions, according tc
the needs of cach of them, and with reference to a definite and har.
monious educational system, be, and the same is hereby, continued.

2. Said commission shall make report to the general assembly at its
next session.

3. The members of the commission shall be reimbursed for thei
actual expenses incurred in the discharge of their duties, but shall receive
no compensation for their services.

necessary, is hereby appropriated, payable out of any money in the treas.
ary not otherwise appropriated, to carry out the objects of this act
which shall be payable on the order of the governor.
