NORMAL soHooE BUILDINGS.
The Assembly proceeded to the consideration O.
the special order, which was the State Norma
School buildings, as follows:
Senate Bill No. 336-An Act 70 provide for the
erection of building for the use OF the Norr' =
School (by Mr. Baker,.
Mr.. FELTON, moved to amend so as to make the aso
preparation $4,000 instead of $50 900.
Mr.. ANTHONY moved to further amend by making
the appropriation $4,000.
Mr.. LEACH favored the latter amendment He
SAID 500 900 with the $50 900 insurance would make
fund ample for the purposes designed.
Mr.. MAYHElb thought $50, 900 was too small a sum
for Santa Clara. San Francisco and Santa Clara
paid more money into the school fund and received
less for 1t than any other counties in the State.
MIR. WATSON OF Ventura said he had been in
formed that s1o0, zoo would accommodate the pupils
of the school building burned down, and also be
ample provision for all that was needed.
Mr.. MATTHEWS was opposed to Normal Schools on
general principles. He was opposet to the whole
bill, and did not see why the State should educate
its teachers any more than it should lawyers or
doctors.
Mr.. TYLER said the land on which the Normal
School building stood belonged to the State, and
unquestionaby some sort of building should be
erected. 1t was better to make good one. Three
hundred and sixty thousand dollars had been ex-
pended for branch prison and the State should not
begrudge the sum of $500, 900 to educate teachers
to rian her children 1t not good policy divide
the appropriation up and make more than one
school,
Mr.. BRUNER said the sum OF $50 900 had been
unanimously recommended bythe committee. With
the insurance money this would make the sort of
building required. In San Jose there were over
800 pupils. There was needed one assembly room
for general instruction, sixteen class rooms large
enough for classes of fifty, laboratory, physical
room, museum, and rooms for trau ing school,
He opposed any reduction in the sum asked for.
Mr. MAY held that the normal schools were
necessary part OF the educational system OF the
State. He in favor of giving literally to San
Jose, and then giving something to other portions
of the State.
Mr. SPENCER said San Jose had given to the State
fine site for the Normal School. There had ac-
cumulated vested rights; under the original con-
tract the building cost nearly one-quarter OF mill
ION of dollars. Nothing had been shown to demon
strate that necessary building could be erected for
less than an Sl50O0O appropriation. there should
be 4 unity of some sort in the education of the
teachers of this State substantial safe building
worthy of the State could not be constructed for
less than Sl50,000
Mr.. GoRLEY favored the proposition to erect a
building at San Jose worthy OF the State. This
great interest, like all business in life, be success
ful must be consolidated. The Normal School
should not be divided. San Jose was beautiful
city, and in every way adapted for the location of
the school, particularly the Lick University would
be placed there. The of Sl50,o00 should be
given to erect the institution
Mr.. WAssoN of Ventura said the Principal of the
State Normal School had stated that good building
could be put up for 100000. Let portion of the
sum asked for 90 to other sections of the State.
Mr. HARDY looked upon the Normal School some
what in the character OF high school, with the ad-
ditional instruction in the art of teaching He
thought $4,000, with the $4,000 insurance was
ample. He was also in favor of giving assistance to
the northern and southern portions of the State.
Mr. HARRIS said the question simply whether
the State should have normal school or not. Mem
bers talked of this money as though it squander-
ed The question was not whether there should be
halfdozen State normal schools but whether there
should be one in San JOSE The school had not been
DESTROYED In San Jose, but was still in existence
and should be given house for its 800 pupils.
Mr.. BRAUNHART favored the amendment, but
could not Why there should not be at least three
normal schools in this State. The southern portion
of the State, particularly, entitled to some con-
sideration
Mr.. BENNETT thought 100000 would build a
structure that would answer all purposes. The
tine had not come yet when California required
more than one normal school,
Mr.. MULHo, LAND favored the amendment and
thought 100000 would erect such building as was
needed.
Mr. McCoMAs opposed the amendment
Mr. McDADE favored liberal assistance to normal
schools not only in San Jose, but other portions OF
the State.
Mr.. DuBRuTz was wiling to give 100000 to San
Jose, but would faver the establishment of two or
three other normal schools in the State
Mr. McINTosH was in favor of only one normal
school at present
Mr. Fox did not favor cutting down the appropria.
ton to $50, 600 neither did he believe in putting
Sl5o,o00 into any school building in the State We
ought 70 be re sonably economical He thought
100000, in add tion to the $4,000 Insurance. was
ample appropriation.
NJ. 9 l.I,o
sum for the scsool building at San jose He thought
the bill should be considered on its merits
Mr.. CARR OF fuba favored the amendment of Mr.
FELTON,, but he thought the enacting clause of the
bill should be stricken out. There should be nor
NAL schools in other sections of the State as well as
San Jose.
Mr.. CHANDLER hoped the amendment offered by
Mr.. FELTON, would prevail He thought 100000
would erect the building, and the $50, 600 insurance
would supply the furniture. He did not think it
right to build three four more normal school
buildings in other portions of the State before the
one at san Jose was provided for.
Mr.. SwEETLAND said normal schools should be es-
tablshed for the education and convenience OF the
people.
Mr.. MERRY favored the amendment of Mr. FELTON,,
and thought under it a building could be erected
that would meet the requirements of the case. He
also favored the establishment OF normal schools
wherever required.
Mr.. Anthony's amendment to appropriate $50, 600
was lost-ayes, 26; noes, 81.
Mr.. Feltons amendment to appropriate 500, 600
was carried-ayes, 81; noes, IA.
Mr.. SwEETLAND moved to indefinitely postpone
the bill. He said this was the same amount placed
in another bill. withdrawn.
The Clerk finished reading the bill.
Mr.. BRAuNHART offered an amendment to Section
,, to add that no building shall be erected until a
deed in fee simple for the land be made to the State
Mr.. TYLER opposed this. He said the ground upon
which the State Capitol stood was held by the slme
title that the property now held in San jose 1t
was the manner in which Boston Common was held,
and public property everywhere.
Mr.. DUBRUTZ said n deed in fee simple from the
city of San Jose was nothing more than just.
Mr.. McCARTY of Lake favored the amendment.
Other sections offered deed in fee simple. Let the
city of San jose do the same.
Mr. MAY did not feel sure but that if the State Capt.
tol burned down the city OF Sacramento might collect
the insurance. The State should own the ground
upon which public buildings stood as well as the
buildings themselves.
Mr. MAYBELL opposed the amendment. The dona.
ton of land given upon free grounds for educa
tional purposes, and should be held by the State
only so long as it was used for the objects desig-
mated.
Mr.. Fox said there were conflicting reports as to
the title. The Committee Education were in
formed that the deed a conditional one but he
was informed by the Mayor OF the city of San Jose
that it clear deed The only consideration ex-
pressed the erecting of Normal School buildings
Whichever way it is, the State has accepted the
deed donation from the city of San jose and it
is not honest to put additional condition TO the
maintenance of Normal School.
The am sndment Of Mr.. Braunhart was favored by
Messrs. ANTHONY, DUBRUTZ, CANRoN and HARDY,
aud opp, sed by Messrs. FELTON,, McINTosH, HARRIS,
TYLER and Young.
Mr.. iEyRE (Mr. Fraser in the chair) offered an

in fee simple OF at least four of land. Ac-
cepted.
Mr.. Braunhart's amendment as amended by Mr..

priating S205 900 to Normal Schools of the State
500 O00 for San Jose, 600 to Los Angeles OOO
to Santa Rosa $4,000 for Reading and s25, COO for

Mr.. ADAMS moved that the substitute be adopted
Mr. MAYBELL moved that it be laid on the table.
Mr.. TYLER moved the previous question on the
whole BILL
Mr.. CooK-Mr. Speaker, rise to point of order
that it is unjust and unmanly for any man to get up
and move the previous question such question
of education as this.
