He thought the whole sum of $500 WAS none
too much for the State to appropriate for the
benefit of the normal schools.
Mr.. Ross of st. .Johnsbury, opposed the
amendment.
Mr.. Cristy of johnson, said it was too
late to ask whether will establish normal
schools that settled at the last session
of the Legislature. We have those schools,
and by the operation of the act establishing
them, the classic are excluded from the
school. and they thereby deprived of
large income from that source So far al. the
school in his town is concerned. the town
had built and turned over to the board of
education fine building. and for the past
year had contributed largely to and in keep
ing it running. This the town cannot do al
ways, and if normal schools are to be in the
State. there must he some provision by the
State to aid in keeping them alive the towns
| in which they are located cannot do it.
Mr.. Whedon of Pawlet, said he
derstood the opinions and objects of the bill
better than when he proposed his amend

was permitted to do.
Mr.. Ross of st. Johnsbury, said that il is

Mr.. Cleaveland of Brookicld. said he de-

were other schools in the State that contrib

and that if this bill should pass, he hoped
that it would be amended that Il like sum
would be appropriated to school in each

would make its provisions more equal to all
the people of the State. (Mr. Il. was not
understood proposing the amendment, but
only suggested it)
Mr.. Hall of Groton, said that the advan-
tages of these schools would be greater TO
those III the immediate vicinity of them
and before he could vote on the bill, he
wished to know how much the people in the
immediate vicinity of them had done for

Mr.. Cristy of johnson, said his town had
expended so, 900. and shut the doors of the
school against large class of young men
that desired TO prepare themselves for col
lege, and turned the school entirely into the
hands of the board of education.
Mr. Mead of Randolph, said that major
ity of those who attended school at Randolph
last term, boarded themselves at an expense
of not more than one dollar per week. and if
the State would grant the aid asked in this
bill, 1T would be great benefit to a class of
deserving young men and women.
