Nr. WINTER: There has been no qIes-
ton that has embarrassed me more than this
matter since the beginning of this session.
The State should not deal with her SUBJ ect
as one private citizen would with another
don't think legal right enters into this
question, but / have no doubt this claim
ant has moral right TO 81 900. The srgu
ment here has made me think she probably
should have more than 81 0O0i therefore /
vote no"

Obligations to pay this SUN, therefore vote

STATE NORMAL SCHOOL.
Mr.. Schloss' bill is. 1901 to appropriate
$4,000 year to the State Normal School
was read the second time.
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks: a bill
has been fully considered by the friends
of the school, which he offered as sub
stitute for this bill $50.
Mr.. YOUCHE thought a provision 70
to strike this out OF the general fund would
be the proper way.
Mr.. FOWLER. This bill ought not to be
engTossed. IT seems to have for its object
the appropriation out of the 10 pe- cent.
levy for hooi purposes. That is
Of the State. This 10 per cent.
levy has the Same object as the common
school fund, ACC this bill proposes to divert
$4,000 OF tina, fJcd to this one school at
Terre Haute; and this diversion might Just
as well be made to other schools in the
State until all the Common School fund is
absorbed in that way. The bill should be
amended so that the money shall come from
the general fund. Let us see what amount is
expended for professors and teachers there.
The first item is So 600 for the President,
when the President of the State University
does not get so large salary. Reads.
Nineteen professors are teaching III
that normal schoo,. The number is
too large ard the compensation is too high,
and that is why ii is this school asks an adj
ditionsl appropriation every year. Twenty
thousand dollars is all the Leglslature ought
4 xyrto nd MAJ 1olla b.,
the Legislature has been apDropriating,
Mr.. FOUEKE: The State Normal Sch ool is
an djunct to the common school system Of
the State. There is 40 way II which the
common school system can be aided better
than by furnishing IL good aad trained
teachers This school is growing from year
10 year, and will need large appropriations
as the years roll By.
Mr.. MCINTOSH: 1t would be very wrong
to pass this bill. de read snort extract
from Governor Hendricks sst message to
the Legislature, prefacing recommendations
as 20 the school system of the state. This
bill comes directly in the line of peryerting
the common school fund from the purposes
for which il was intended. he had list
showing that the State Normal School had
but few in attendance in comparison with
other normal schools in this State. This
| State Normal School is Terre Hsute and
| Vigo County school. He demanded the
money belonging to the children OF this
State be allowed to GO to them. / hope this
| bill will never be engrossed and never
passed.
Mr.. OvERSTREET would not cast a vote
/ knowingly that would tend To cripple the
common schools of this State. / don't know
| why il is these large salaries are paid. In
college in our town there are professors who
| do as good work any In the State,
salary of 81 900 year. / nave heard no gosd
reason stated Why there Is S. 600 more ssked
| for than heretofore. / want to give this
school enough, but desire to have q good rea-
son for the additional appropriation The
| people are beginning to feel that this is too
expensive luxury.
Mr.. CAMPBELL, of Hendricks / can
hardly understand the Augment made
against this bill. While not as well in
formed on this subject as he would like 20
be, 1t Is thought the better plan is to raise
this fund out OF the fund which is raised or
special taxation.
Mr.. YOUCHE: This bill would be taking
away 5000 days OF schooling from the chill,
dren OF this STATE.
| slight difference in the terms of the schools
in the State-one half day in each shool dis
! trict-that it is thought to be less objection
| able TO take the fund as proposed. Those in
charge are Indifferent as to what fund the
! appropriation comes from. The trustees of
! this institution are the best Judges of the
moneys needed to carry ID on. More is nes d.
ed nov than at first of course. IL the ap.
preparation is too much, tell US why.
Pending the discussion
The Senate adjourned till $50 o'clock to
: morrow.
