This committee was later named the Gilmer-Aikin Committee, after Representative Claud Gilmer and Senator A.M. Aikin, Jr. The committee's work culminated in proposals to make Texas public schools more efficient and better funded in order to provide better educational opportunities for Texas children. The Gilmer-Aikin Committee used a statewide network of advisory and county committees to inform the public of its goals. This broad dissemination of information about the proposals was an indispensable element in the eventual passage of the Gilmer-Aikin Laws ... in 1949 the Senate of the Fifty-first Legislature readily adopted the three bills containing the Gilmer-Aikin Committee proposals)
