bryan, OF Wayne, declared that this res
olutlon was introduced to DESTROY the
good effects of the bill. Mr.. Ray thought
that advocates of the bill showed poor
grace when they required the girls to
teacn, ar Ray said that there were
young ladies who couldn't gee positions.
MT. Jones interrupted him and read from
Teachers Agency that it wanted fifty
trained female teachers and could not
get them. Mr. Ray read an advertise
ment from paper asking for positions
for ladies. This bill will not help the
girls-it will merely make a place for
some men at good salaries. There are
gentlemen lobbying for this bill who are
paid 81 day By the State. He COM

Ar. Jones said that the argument of
Mr.. Ray was unjust and unfair. l have
| no personal interest in this bill. The
aspertlon cast upon our Board of Educa-
tlon was not just. Mr.. Ray also re-
ferred to other gentlemen and attacked
men who need no defense at my hands.
They are commissioned by great body
of teachers to come here and they would
not be actuated by any sordid motive
They are patriotic men and can get as
good s. salary anywhere in the United

them that you have refused to pass

State, the people will send Democrats
in your places.
Mr.. Liaeback approached Mr.. Jones and
, said he took it as personal and said that
he was as much interested in the passage
/ Of this bill as any one. Mr. Jones said
he was an exception and that he was
5 unduly sensitive. Continuing, Mr. Jones
said that Mr. Ray also reflected upon DR..

grapevine telegraph between him and

IS the battle had shifted. The bill is OF
such importance that no feeling ought

passage. l believe we can safely pass
