WESTERN TRAINING SCHOOL.
Mr. Newlands bill to establish a train
ing school for teachers in Western North
Carolina
Mr. Newland spoke for his bill, saying
it was very dear to the people of that
section of the State, to people whose
school facilities were very meager. They
never received any money for schools
except the special 500, 0O0 The girls of
this section were too poor to attend the
Greensboro Normal and the boys were
too poor to leave home to attend school
The portion of the country concerned was
Only the pittance of $4,000 for main
tenance was asked. The purpose was
merely to enable the teachers of those
mountain counties to get some training
to better perform their duties. These

Mr.. Newland's speech was a powerful,
earnest appeal to the Legislature to al
low him to carry back the good news TO

places in North Carolina that needed
help that we would never stop it once
we began along this line. He approved
of helping the public schools first, before
we did anything for the institutions of
higher learning beyond maintaining
them
Governor Doughton said we did not eX-
st as a State on a selfish basis. He called
attention to the fact that in 1887 the
State furnished 200 convicts to build the
great Western North Carolina Railroad.
Judge Graham considered that this bill
might be more meritorious than others
before the committee, and he therefore
thought it ought to so before the com
mittee. We did not know that there
was money enough to meet it. He there
for moved again to refer to the Commit
tee on Appropriations.
Mr. Morphew said if this Legislature
did nothing more extravagantly than this.
it would be an extremely economical
