II The Teachers Training school.
II The most interesting and spirited ses-
| sion OF The Senate Yet held was when the
| question was up for consideration OF ap-
pr0priating s., 000, III addition to the 81,
\ 600 already spent in Normal Schools, to
establish Teachers Training School. Mr
/ Shaw. Chairman 1t tho Committee on Ed
uc;tion, who had charge Of the bill,
! opened the debate III a well prepar-
/ eli and strong speech in favor Of the
establishment Of the school. For upwards
| Of three hours the debate was spirited and
lively and was participated in by many
/ Senators.
/ Senator Blair introduced a substitute to
/ appropriate the 81, 600 heretofore given to
Normal schools to the county Institutes
which are to be held in every county once
in Two years. Senator Blair made one of
his best and brightest speeches in support
Of his substitute. Il e attacked the Train
ing School vigorously. He was assisted
and grea y .dei Is speeches by Messrs.
Farthing Barber, Robinson and Lusk.
Those who spoke in advocacy of the bill
besides MIR. Shaw We're Messrs. Little,
Twitty, Pou. Williams Of Pitt, Lucas,
Means, Kerr, Campbell and Turner OF Ire
dell We have not space to give an out
line of any of the speeches pro and con,
but they We're the best and >piciest Of the
session. Senator Williams Of Pitt, brought
down the Bouee by bis tribute to women
| Tie advocates Of the school made, as their
chief.aTgument, that the State had not
done anything for 4, he women of the State,
bat had done much for the education OF
men The opponents sad tney favored
the helping Of women As much as any OF
the advocates of the Training school, but
that the bill under consideration was not
III the interest OF women alone, but OF both
sexes Mr Turner, of lIedcH, offered tbs
following amendment when was adopted
The Training school shall not be loc;,teC
in any town Of over 5000 inhabitants
His idea was to secure Its location in :
small town where board car be had cheap
(The next day however this WAS reconsid
cred ard stricken Out.)
During the discussion there was one in
cident that made quite arippie. Mr. Lusl
raised the point that the appropriation
was not constitutional because il discrim
mated against the negroes, Mr.. Kerr
chairman of the Judiciary committee gave
it as his opinion that the bill was conotI
tutioDal Mr. Turner, OF Irec!eN, argued
in favor Of its cOnstitutionaity, and SAT-
thae the State gave s., 600 a year to nor
, mails for the negroes, and asked Mr.. Lusl
if hat was constitutional. Mr.. Lusk re
Piled Extensively iy asking Mr.. Turner
he favored a Discrimination against th
negro Mr. Turner sad he did if this wa
adI>.i ijrliinat i3n. Mr. LusIith"n said. mos
offer ~iyely, that ho.dit Z -usn viu US, MI
'iuIf er ought to - 1o-ne and stay there
; MI. Turner replied th.J he supposed NJ
: LuSa would like il if ne could put bi
buck black BuncOmoe negro in his place
All this was unpaI,i. mertary and to be IT
? GREETED, but Mr. Lu,k brought it on him
! self by his personalities, and Mr.. Turne
served him exactly right
The bill passed it5 second reading by
vote Of 80 TO II, An attempt was mad
to put the bill Oh its thiGd reading whIc
failed, and the Senate adjourned.
