Mr.. BENNETT Of Hollis. Patten Acad-
envy has had $500 heretofore. You ~ do
lust as you are of a mind to, bu' If yyu
keep on in this way every one oi you Will
have to have a shotgun when you go
home.
Mr.. GARDNER Of Patten2 l think the
committee on educa ion will bear NE out
that there Is not An academy on tae lis!
that has made better showing than
Patten Academy. Our town, with a Va'u-
modern building 1t cost of Slo,Ooo, anu
we ran the academy last year under the
appropriation that was given with stricr
ccbHoUlN anu i'pl IliNt IiohCs N'iVofo-i
to pay our tea cheers.
Mr.. WALKER of starks: The evidence
before the committee showed that Pdtten
built modern school building HAT cost
$4,000 and that the academy was located
in the town where 1t was o. grea advaH-
tage to many Of the surrounding towns,
and | trust that the rcsoll will have its
second reading at the present time.
Mr.. JORDAN of Lisbon: ] notice that
the average attendance at Patten Acad-
envy is ~ students. 1t seems to me that
there cannot be great many students
in the town of Patten. And 20 of these
students are taking. what they call the
common school studies, Now / do rot
fight any particular academy. I believe
the general principle is wrong, and am
not in favor of turning down Patten
Academy unless they are all turned down:
but I think AN appropriation of 800 to-
gethcr with $3.50 as high school is too
much money to pay I'm any town with
only rs students.
Mr.. GARDNER of Pattcn: The gentle
man is mistaken. There is no pupil ad-
mitled to our academy unless he passes
there is not an academy that shows Il
better system of grading thar does ours
The reason we ask for an increase is that
we accommodate a great many more pu-
pills. The average attendance this year Is
over so: and until we bull. "A new building
we could not Accommodate them.
Mr.. KING of Caribou: I would ask IL
there is any motion before the House
The SPEAKER; There is none.
Mr.. KING The0 1t seems to me that
this discussion is not in order.
The resolve was then rea,! a second
time and passed to he engrossed.
Resolve in favor of Arson Academy
Resolve in favor of the Bath Military
and Naval orphan Asylum.
Resolve in relation to extra pay of
Maine volunteers in the war with Spain
Pending second reading. Mr.. Bird of
Rockland, offered House amendment a.
Mr. PRINCE OF Yarmouth: It will We
remembered that the Governor in his mes
sage called attention to the fact that
after the first quota of troops was sent
from Maine to the front. a second call
partment show that a body of recruits
Those men who went to ill the quota af
the State received none of the extra pay
of those who went out with the first. and
this is simply a measure to give those
who went under the second call precisely
the same extra pay those who went
under the first call. do not wish to an
tagpnize the proposition which has been
introduced here by the gentleman from
Rockland, but Il can be seen that the two
are not IN tho slightest degree parallel.
Those who went into the navy did not
form part of the quota of the State of
Maine, and those who went into the reg
ular army did not form any part of the
quota Of the State. The extra pay was
given TO those who went as from the
State.
Mr.. MURPHY of Lewiston: ] certainly
do not desire to anita gonize the PROPOSE
lion Of the geutltman from Rockiand:
