schools they will get foundation that
viii insure future success; but if you
get q poor teacher you will have poor
pupils. So, gentlemen, don't be afraid
tC put in high priced teachers for your
small children, because | believe that
is the foundation of the whole thing
and therefore, Mr.. Speaker, | move
that this matter be tabled in order that
AN amendment may be offered.
Mr.. KEHOE of Portland: | have
never been a school teacher ] have
no special object in this bill; but ]
think after we have had two hours
discussion on any matter. or an hour
and a half, at the present time of this
session we ought to dispose of this
matter. If we put all the bills that come
before US on the table, and wait until
every member is absolutely satisfied
with every section, we will sit here I'M
til ncxt July. I think there should be
some limit to this matter. | believe
that the men who are in favor of the
principles of the bill should vote fori L.
and that those who are opposed to the
principles of the bill should vote
against it. | believe in having the ed
ucational lines the best we can pro-
cure for the cities. towns and planta-
tons. do not believe in making the
plantations the dog in this matter, and
in trying it out on the dog. | believe
the plantations should have the same
protection the towns and cities have.
NV brother from Milford CHR. O'Con-
nelD read part OF Section .; but he
did not read the whole of it. He raised
the objection that the plantations
could net afford to have certified
teachers. If he had read the next clause
he would have found that it provided
that any person not holding State
certificate may be granted not more
than one temporary non-renewable
teaching permit for a period not to eN-
weed one year. such permit to be issued
upon examination by the superintend-
ent of schools of the town. That would
be the superintendents of schools IN
the plantations. That entirely meets
his objection On the other hand, my
brother from Readfleld tMrPeaeoek1
thinks that is ii vicious proposition.
So YOU can see how hard it is going to
be to meet all the objections. | say II
is too late to put it on the table, and
I hope the matter will be disposed of,
this morning.
