This school has been In Operation ton
years, and is In very fiourishing condit.
ion. It has sent out large nur.ber CT
able teachers, and to appreciate the re-
suit of the labor Of our Normal Schools, 1t
1t Is only necessary to visi: our schools to-
day and compare them with the schools Of
ten or ffteen years ago.
1t is rumored that there will be an effort
made to establish more Normal schools,
but probably no such effort can succeed,
for it must be evident that 1t is not nee
essary, till our present schools are full.
and IL the State has money to spare It Is
much better to spend It to endow the
schools we have, than to establish new
ones.
Our visiting party consisted principally
OF members of the committe on education.
among which were Senators Corthell. and
Swazcy. both OF whom are capable of af-
fordiny entertainments in variety.
wAGNER's RETRIEVE.
The overwhelming vote In the House To
request the Governor to repriese Wagner
thirty days. Is no index OF the sentiment
OF the House on the question of capital
punishment.
The Senate refused to vote for the re-
quest not because opposed 10 the repri eve,
but because the reprieving of a murderer
is none of Legislatures busin ess.
1t seems probable that the Senate may
be In favor of abolishing the death penalty
but there has been no expression in the
House yet. that would justify one in say
ing what the sentiment of that body Is.
