WESTERN TRAINING SCHOOL.
Mr.. Newland's 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 $100, 600. The girls OF
this section We're 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
destitute Of railroad advantages.
Only the p~ittance 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
people were always at home when the
tax collector called.
Mr.. NeWland's speech was a powerful,
earnest appeal to the Legislature to al
low him to carry back the good news TO
his people that at last the State had
recognized their needs.
Governor Doughton seconded Mr.. New
lands appeal.
Mr.. White, of Halifax, also favored the
bill.
MI. Smith doubted the wisdom of such
a bill, as many other sections Of the
State needed such schools.
Mr.. King likewise opposed the bill.
Under the rules it would have to go to
the Committee on Appropriations. Gov
ernor Doughton moved suspension of the
rules, that the bill might be placed upon
it's Immediate readings. Mr.. Smith de-
manded the ayes and noes, and the mo-
ton was carried by % to "A.
Mr.. Smith explained that there was nc
man that favored the objects of this bill
more than he but We had started on a
policy regarding the public schools that
must be carried out, and we could not
to appropriate the States
money in this way. There We're so many
places in North Carolina that needed
help that we would never stop II once
we began along this line. He approved
of helping the public schools first, before
we did anything for the institutions oil
higher learning beyond maintaining
them.
Governor Doughton said we did not ex-
ist 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 go 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 TINS
it would be an extremely economical
body.
Governor Doughton made another ap-
peal for the passage of the bill. IL was
our last chance.
