A. 153, relating to military education,
was taken up by request of Senator
Bigelow. Senator Veazey offered amend
ments, which were agreed to, and pro-
ceeded briefly to give the reasons which
had influenced the committee to report
in favor of this bill. He urged the ne
cessity of some preparation or education
in the direction of military knowledge,
and as it was against the policy of the
government and of the state to support
a large standing army, or an expensive
militia organization, the committee had
come to the conclusion that they could
not in any other way, so well and so
secure the object desired,
as by the plan proposed in this bill. He
gave very flattering statement of the
services performed by the former mem
bers of Norwich University, during the
late war of the rebellion, being most |
efficient in every line of service, and |
largely to the drill and dis |
cipline of the army.
Senator Veazeys statement of the case,
and his advocacy of the merits of the |
BILL under consideration, was most salts |
factory to its friends, and gave an intel |
igent view of its educational impor- |
lance.
Senator Butterfield without desiring to |
make an argument against the bill or
against Norwich University, was not in
favor of the plan proposed, and could |
lot vote for it.
1t was further ably advocated by Sen
tors Bigelow and Carpenter. On the
hird reading Senator Butterfield de.
handed the yeas and nays. Yeas 10,
