ca, boards selecting DOORS, when Judge
5ouarles said he protested against his III
iectlng o speech IN h.s.
There was an amusing colloquy between
the two gentleman. before Judge Quarles
haG a chance to continue his speech.
h ON THE SAME LINE.
Mr.. Hamilton brlsny gave his reasons
cor thinking local boards should haze au-
t.:orhy TO select books, and said Mr..
(luarlcs had presented the case so strong
5lylt was unnecessary for him to make a
spctch.
Dr. Runaway said the desire of the
con n,ittee was to not, only relieve the
counties OF the evil Of canvassing by the
book companies. lut for the purpose of
.cheapcnilg the school books to the chill
dren of the State. 1t would mean great
saving to the people to have the books
bought by Wholesale
Mr.. Pollard here read a list of prices of
hctks in North Carolina. and Mississippi,
showing that the books in the later
State, which had selection by local
boards, were a great deal more expensive
than in the former, when they were Sc
lectcd by the State Board.
DIR. Dunaway continued his argument
in support of the recommendation Of the
committee and against the motion OF
Mr. Hamilton to strike out the clause re-
curing city schools to seItct books I'M
der the control of the State Board
THE O'FLAHERTY?GLAS TILL.
Mr.. O.Flaherty asserted that 1t VAS
next tc impossible for the State Board
of Educatlon TO determine what books
each particular county Eccded, and de-
clared that he. fot one, Was not wlllinS
to trust the State Board that had been
selected ny the committee to choose and
make contracs for school books.
Mr.. Glass arose here and 1lated that. ne
for one, did rot propose osit silent ana
Listen 30 such an outrageous inputatlon
upon the integrity OF the heads OF the
illustrious educational institutions of VIZ
gnia. The language just spoken was en-
tirely uniustiliabc and its purport I'M
permissible.
Mr. O'F'laherty replied that he should
take his own judgment as to what he
should say, and not call on Mr. Glass fer
advice: that he was responsible alone to
his constituents and did not propose to
submit to criticisms or lectures from Mr..
Glass or anyboGys else. He disclaimed
having used offensive language and quite
a colloquy on this point ensued between
him and Mr.. Glass. The dividing lire
was so narrow between parliamentary
ana ,nparliamentary language. several
members arose to a point of order. The
objection was made that the gentlemen
were not addressing the chair.
Chairman Parks called them to order,
saying the chair had not recognized either
of them as having the floor. Hc stated
that there had been freQuents infractions
of, the rules recently in this particular.
and, while he did not desire to lord it
over the committee. he should in future
demand a strict observance of the rules.
Both gentlemen took their seats. after
having discIaimed any purpose to violate
the rules or to be personally unparlianlen-
tary to each other.
The hour of two arriving, the committee
rose without coming to a vate Mr.
Withers fave notice of a. motion to re-
consider the vote by which section two.
relating to the composition of the State
Board was adopted
