Normal School Fight Dies,
The continuation OF the normal school
fight in the Senate came to naught last
evening, through some clever work by
the friends OF the bin to establish train
ing school courses for teachers in high
schools and academies. 1t was expected
that an attempt would be made last
evening to reconsider the vote passing
the bill, but the tactics Of the friends
Of the bill made it impossible to do
this.
This is the way it was done, While
the Senate was grinding away at some
routine bushes, the bill was quietly
messaged back into the House with the
Senate proposal Of amendment, The
House promptly suspended other busi-
ness and concurred IN the amendment.
Speaker Howe lost no time Ia signing
the measure and Assistant Clerk Black
then stepped into the Senate with it and
had no trouble in obtaining the lieuten-
nt-governor's signature The bin was
then rushed to the governor, who could
not sign it quickly enough to suit him.
So when the normal school men woke
up the bill was beyond their reach, and
they could do nothing but vent their
indignation at what they call the high
handed way in which the measure had
been railroaded through the Senate, 1t
is thought that the methods used in get
ting the bin through may possibly react,
and that later a bill may be introduced
making some substantial amendments
to the bill passed last evening.
At its meeting last evening, the House
read the third time and passed the fol-
lowing House bills:-
An act to pay J, +. Cushman the suns
named in the bill; one Incorporating the
Second Congregational church in Ben
nington; one authorizing the town OF
