: about Him Legislature is Coed to
School Teachers-Laws Passed Re-
hitting to Them Daily Grist of the
Lawmakers.
CHARLESTON, Feb. Delegate
Jake Fishers open statement In the
house that State Superintendent of
Schools j. r.. Trotter was dishonest
and corrupt is the topic of discussion.
Never before was such an open charge
made on the floor of the legislature
against state official. Trotter, how
ever, has been advised to take no no.
tice Of the affront and it is not likely
anything will grow out of it. Your
correspondent asked Trotter for a
statement regarding Fishers charge.
He refused to be interviewed, saying
simply that 1.-THE remarks of Mr.
Fisher are too contemplate to be no.
ticed by me-
Whatever else may have been the
sins of this legislature it has been
good to public school teachers. Two
bills affecting their interests have
been passed. One provides that the
lowest salary paid school teacher
shall be $50 month, and another al
lows teachers Institutes TO be held
during the school year instead of va
cation time.
j An amusing debate occurred over
this bill in the senate. It's patron,
for IN ntNnIl lf 1nffa n
it was a meritorious measure and
should be passed without amendment.
Jumping to his feet, Senator Cornwell
apparently angry, exclaimed:
81 do not agree with the gentle
man from Jefferson .
whats the matter with it?n asked
Mr.. Campbell bristling up.
"Why 1T ought to be amended so
that teachers would be paid during
Institutes, replied Mr.. Cornwell and
the gentleman from Jefferson smiling
~ assented to the resolution.
