Mr.. SWEET of Portland, moved to take
from the table report A of the committee

reporting ought to pass in new draft. re-
solve in favor of the Western State Nor
NAL school at Gorham, and report B of
same committee, on resolve in favor of
the Western State Normal school at Cor
ham, reporting the same be referred to
the next Legislature.
The motion was agreed to. 20
Mr.. SWEET of Portland: Mr. Presi-
dent move that report A be accepted,
to what 1 think is a manifestly fair
proposition, and which / believe will APP
peal to the sense of justice OF the mem
bers. The committee on education has
all the Normal schools except Gorlfam.
The House has passed an, appropriation
establishing a Normal school at Pressure
Isle, and giving them what they ask for,
and very properly doing 50. 1t had gfls,
hearty support, for l recognize the grow
ing needs OF that section of our State
and that they are richly entitled to what
they need in the matter of education;
but the Normal school at Gorham was
for some reason which l have not been
able to understand. referred to the next
Legislature. Now, that is one of the old
est established schools i'm the State. 1t
has done most excellent work. Pupils
from that school have always command
ed ready positions at liberal salaries; and
it is an act of simple justice to that sec
ton of the State that report A should be
adopted, and l trust that this House will
act favorably upon it.
Mr.. MEAD of Bridgton: Mr.. Speaker,
as a member Of the committee on educa-
ton, l would like to say that seven men,
bers of this committe visited Gorham and
studied the needs of that school, and it
was the unanimous decision of the COM
mittee that the resolve asked for ought to
pass. In times past the Gorham Normal
school has had the use of the old Gorham
Academy building for three grades of its
practice work. During this session of the
Legislature we have passed certain acts
that old academy. Under those condi-
tiorls the trustees refused longer to lease
