Senator Hartman has now pending i'm
the Senate a bill providing for the es-
tahlishing OF a State Normal Schoo' in
this district, to be known as the South
western State Normal School"
The provisions Of the bill are plain
and simple. The school is to be under
the management OF Board oftrustees-

Board OF education will, OF course, have
general supervision, as we understand
it, OF the school, have power To remove
trustees, fill vacancies. etc
The Board OF trustees have the fix
ing of terms OF admission Of pupils
courses of instruction, and are requir-
ed to make an annual report 10 the
Governor Of their progress, etc.
The bill carries an appropriation OF
ten thousand dollars TO be used i'm es-
tablishing said school after site has
been secured, which is supposed to be
donated 10y the town in which the
school shall be established. Each town
OF two thousand inhabitants in the dis
tlict shall be entitled To one pupil who
receives gratuitous instruction.
Briefly, the above are the main pro-
visions OF the bill. The subject is on,

Why is Negro Suffrage Failure?

Pected when the Fourteenth and
Fifteenth amendments were added to

Why?
The explanation Indicated rather
than elaborated by Mr.. Root is that
which seems obvious and occurs most

ROAD OF progress toward social euuali-
ty has been blocked by invctcrate Tor,

has not been permitted by his fellow
citizens To rise.
Can honest philosophy go no farther
than this easy theory?
