Lincoln, Neb., Feb. 13. (Special Telegram) The most etlective regu lation of the parochial schools, with the exception of the bill introduced to wipe them out altogether, is pro vided for in a measure introduced in the lower house of the legislature by the committee on education. The bill is a substitute tor all bills pro posed by individual members. Indications are that the commit tee's recommendations will be fol lowed by the legislature with possi b'e minor amendments. The recom mendations were made to the bouse this morning and will probably be made a special order of business and set for early next week. The new measure provides that private and parochial schools shall be under the supervision of the public school authorities and governed in exactly the same manner as public institutions. Opposes Requests of Catholics. It directly opposes the request oi the Catholic parochial school repre sentatives who requested that they be permitted to select their own text books and equipment if nothing else. The bill specifically gives the public school authorities the control! of text books and equipment as well as t lie courses of study and cer tification of teachers. Governed by General Laws. The measure provides, that all private and parochial schools and all teachers employed or giving in struction shall be under and gov erned by the general school laws of Nebraska so far as the same applies to grades and the kind of text books used, including equipment and sup plies, qualification and certification of teachers, promotion of pupils and general control, supervision and in spection by State, county and city superintendents of public instruc tion. ; In cease any private or parochial school refuses or neglects to comply with these provisions, no person shall be .granted a certificate to teach in the school and pupib shall be required to attend public schools in their district. Full certification will be granted teachers who have taught in accredited or parochial, schools in the same way as if they had taught m public schools. Forbids Foreign Language. The bill as presented forbids the -r t : i - I :.. use oi Any luicigu language I'r in struction in any public, private or parochial school. It cannot be used as a language below the ninth grade, but can be used in high schools without restriction. ' j The committee's amendments to i the foreign language bill strike out the words church and "denomina tional, leaving the bill refer only to "private, parochial and 'public" schools.

The committee recommended the passage of the foreign language bill, Senate File No. 24, as amended by them, with the section giving the state superintendent control of the foreign language curriculum when the language is taught for cultural purposes.
