er Will certainly be elected.
TOPEKA, Jan. Il. 1871.
The annual meeting of the Board of
Directors of the State Normal Schools,
was held to-day in the Office of the
State Superintendent. Hon. r.. NJ. Over
street appeared as Member of the Board
vice Jacob Stotler, resigned. Governor
Harvey, Superintendent McCarty, Rev.
G. r. Rice, S. S. Prouty and Mr.. Over
street were present. 1t was unani-
mously resolved to ask the State for an
appropriation to put up new build
ing. 1t is in contemplation to erect a
building that will cost $4,000. OF this
amount it is expected that Emporia will
do something handsome in city bonds.
Lawrence has given 100000 for the
State University buildings. Leaven-
worth gives to the other Normal
school building worth $4,000, and
certainly it will pay our city to assist
in making our Normal first class in
stitution.
The board did not adopt the recon-
mendation of the Executive Committee
in relation to raising the salaries. The
Preceptress gets an advance of $500.
No back pay Will be allowed for any of
the teachers. Our scrip is now worth
nearly par, and it was believed that the
salaries were sufficient now, especially
in view of the fact that we are asking a
heavy appropriation for new build
ing. 1t was believed, also, that with
the present facilities one of the as
sistant teachers could be spared, and so
provision will be made only for one.
Nearly $4,000 were knocked out of the
amounts recommended by the EXecn-
tive Committee.
Quite large number of bills have
reached the hands of the different Com
mitees of the two houses, and much
work is under way. A concurrent res
olution, in opposition to the bill now
before Congress, which asks to relieve
the l.. L. & G. II. X. Co. from building
its track from Leavenworth to Law
renee, has created considerable discus
sion. The Company wants all the land
but does not want to build all the road
which they are under solemn contract
to construct. So far as l know the Leg
islature is i'll favor of making them
stick to their bargain. That's what
they ought to do.
append a list of the standing
committees of the two houses, which
have not yet been published in The
NEWS. 1t will be seen that Lyon coun-
ty fares well in chairmanships, while
Mr.. Hill is member of the most i'm
and Means. His large business and ex-
perience, and excellent judgment fit
him well for this place.
