Microsoft Corp. founder Bill Gates yesterday challenged state lawmakers to use federal stimulus funds to revolutionize public education.

"Difficult times can spark great reforms. . . . A crisis can act as a pivot" for innovation, Gates told the 5,500-member National Conference of State Legislatures meeting in Philadelphia.

Gates said the $100 billion in economic-recovery funds earmarked for improving education should be used to improve schools for the nation’s good and to compete globally.
