Normal School at that place. The
Los Angeles Senator made a very

Senator Kane replied vigorously
In opposition to the resolution and
10 advocacy of an appropriation Of

tiers.
Senator Glasscock was against
Formal Schools. He said one OF
this time was one too many. The
general. view of the question was
that the State is already overrun
with Normal School graduates,
who cannot obtain situations be.
cause the ranks Of school teacher
are already overcrowded.
Senator Dickinson opposed the
appropriation. He believed In the
concentration Of public institutions
at one place.
Senator Hittell said II seemed to
be forgotten that we had Uni.
versity, and that one graduating
from that institution was entitled
to the highest certificate 40 q
school teacher. The only Normal
School that should be supported
in the State Is the University.
Senator Watsen was in favor OF
Normal Schools, believing that
they were demanded aud should be
literally supported. He did not
believe the State was overrun with
teachers, but 1t might be overruu
with persons claiming the qualifi-
cations of q teacher. In his judg.
ment the southern section of the
State was entitled to some recogni.
ton. The Senator's only appre.
hensinn was that the State at this
time could not afford to appropriate
any more money for public institu.
tons, and therefore. he could not
support the bill.
Senator Hill said Los Angeles
was good place for Normal
School, but one institution Of that
kind was enough for California.
The attendance at the San jose
school was large, and all the coun.
ties Of the State were represented.
Mr.. Hill said: II apprehend Mr..
West IL anxious to obtain an ap-
Precipitation of some kind for Los
Angeles. I appreciate that spirit.
II lie cannot get q Normal School,
l imagine that he would take

De wants some public money ex.
pended for the benefit of his con-
stituents."
Senator West said: Los Angeles
IL here asking for branch OF the
State Normal School. One insti.
tuition Of that character was not
enough for California. The end of
the Normal School was not to
build up the higher education. The
aim 10 10 qualify men aud women
for teaching children. II there 10
u surplus of. teachers now, they
will be exhausted by natural law,
and we must provide for the fu-
ture.
