lengthy remarks, as the object OF
this ceremony is very we'll known,
and it is exceedingly uDcomforta.
BILE to remain long in this intense
heat. / would have preferred
some one else to have taken this
position, because 1 have reasons of
u personal nature for objecting,
and think that another representa-
tive from this place should have
attended to the laying OF the foun-
dation of this branch of the State
Normal School. 1t is stated. in a

been put. From the prominence on

standing the large amount of
500, 900 given to this portion Of the
state TO build our tcho0l, we have
also received $4,000 to secure the
services of competent teachers
and $4,000 to purchase furniture
and fittings, making, in the sggrs.
