PuInski City May Also Have
NormnI-CHpitOI Notes.

The Summer School Of Methods for
white teachers will be located at Roa-
noke this year.
This fact was announced I'm the Dis
patch exclusively several weeks ago and
was contradicted. As matter OF fact
Superintendent Glass. OF the School OF
Methods. had decided 10 take the school
70 Roanoke this summer instead Of to
Charlottesville. where IT has been located
every summer since it was first establish
ed. several years ago. This was IN view
Of certain very liberal inducements offered
by Roanoke TO secure the school.
The publication of the decision to locate
the school at Roanoke this summer
created great deal of interest and
aroused Charlottesville 10 make a very
strong fight for II. But she has lost, and
the school will so TO Roanoke, as the Dis
patch announced three weeks ago.
4 delegation of Roanoke gentlemen
called on Governor Tyler and at the
rooms Of the Board Of Education yester-
day 10 discuss the proposition 20 locate
the school al Roanoke. They were IN
formed that IL had been decided to have
one OF the summer normals located at
Pulaski. only nifty miles distant from
Roanoke. and that were the School OF
Methods taken TO Roanoke the TWO would
be too close together. But Roanoke's
champions. including Captain 5. S
Brooke. Hon W. Z. Dupuy M j. Rust
Superintendent Of Schools Of Roanoke,
and Hon. c. G. Taliaferro, were too much
for the Governor and Secretary Brent
They argued so well that all objections
were overcome and an understanding
reached whereby both Pulaski and Roa-
nOke will probably have summer schools
for teachers Superintendent Rust wired
Superintendent Glass. at Lynchburs, the
result Of the conference. and in reply re-
ceived a telegram last night stating the
School Of Methods would be at Roanoke.
This is final. as Superintendent Glass has
the absolute authority to select the To-
cation.
