First State Normal School
Opened rs Years Ago Today

-THEN-
seventy five years ago today the
first state normal school in the United
States was opened in Lexington, Mass.
The parlor of a boarding house was
the cradle of this educational system.
In those days it was thought that a
school "to teach teachers how to
teach" was a needless expenditure Of
time and money. Unable to secure
state aid, the pioneers accepted money
offered by Edmund Dwight, who later
became conspicuously Identified with
the new educational movement. The
first class consisting of five girls. had
the Rev. cyrus Pcircc of Nantucket as
its teacher At the end of the first
year the school, known as the Licking
ton Academy had twenty-five stud
cnts-all girls. II had demonstrated
its worth so thoroughly that the leg
islaturc voted by a large majority to
appropriate sufficient funds to cstab-
lish it as a permanent adjunct To the
educational system.

bill supplanted District business in
the House today and Congressman
Ben johnson had to be content with
an agreement that after the Philip
pine bill is disposed of the District
calendar shall have first call. ex-
cepting unanimous consent Mondays
and calendar Wednesdays.
Mr.. Johnson made several attempts
to get an earlier District day. but
Congressman Galloway of Texas said
he would not give unanimous consent
until the Philippine bill. which is be-

House has debated the johnson bill for
the appointment Of a new commission,
but no vote has been taken, and there
still remains some time for discussion.
The plaza awards probably will be taken
up again early next week, as it is hoped
to have the Philippine measure out of
the way by that time.
When the House resumed debate on
the Philippine bill today eight hours of

SEEK PLAN TO KEEP
PRICE OF COTTON UP
Southern Governors Meet the
Members of Congress Here
in Move to Aid South.

Governors Of six cotton States and
representatives of all other cotton
States except Mississippi and Arkan-
sas. met in the office of Senator Sim
mons of North Carolina today with
the Senators and Congressman Of the
cotton States to devise a plan for
holding the price of cotton up to 10
cents. A subcommittee was appoint
ed to draft a plan and submit it to
another full meeting to be held to-
night.
Governors present were ONea1 of
Alabama. Prammell Of Florida. Slaton
Of Georgia, Hall of Louisiana. Cruce
Of Oklahoma, and Stewart Of Vir-
ginia. Representatives of governors
were Major W. A. Graham, Of North
Carolina; F. T. Peck. Of Tennessee:
w. A. Stuckey. of South Carolina, and
Congressman Henry of Texas.
The main point of contention among
the members Of the conference was
whether 1t is good policy for the Ma
tional Government to buy over one-half
of the surplus cotton. 1t is claimed
by some of the Southern Senators and
Congressman that such action will es-
tablish a bad precedent for similar
situations that may arise in the fu-
ture and that the manufacturer or the
producer of grain, on the ground of
aid to the cotton growers. will demand
the same help for themselves.
Others claim that the situation Is
purely an emergency one, and because
the cotton situation Is unique and far
different from any other Industrial sit
uation in the United States. it could
not furnish a bad precedent.

CLAYTON MEASURE
ASSA|LED BY REED
Conference Report Should Be
Called "CapituIation Bill"
Says Missouri Senator.

"If the allies had undertaken to stop
the German invasion with dough b"l-
let's, the armies of the Kaiser would
have occupied Paris in twenty-four
hours. So far as its antitrust features
are concerned. this is a dough bullet
bill. This bill should be known as the
conferees' capitrlation bill
With classic denanciation and vitri-
olic attack of this sort, Senator Reed of
Missouri made n fierce assault on the
Clayton trust bill conference report on
the foor of the Senate this afternoon.
it has been months since an important
measure was subjected tC anything like
such an onslaught
Senator Reed declared that the Clay
ton trust bill, as it has been reshaped
in conference. ought to have its title
changed so as to read an act to opolo-
ei;c to unlawful restraints and monop-
olieS."
Senator Reeds assault on the bill was
the more noteworthy because he is
known as one of the ableSt lawyers on
the Democratic side, and because Fresi-
dent Wilson has given his Endorsement
to the conference report.
The Missouri Senator depleted the bill,
as :. nov stlnds as an Utterly enascu-
lated and worthless measure. so far as
its provisions are concerned which deal
with trusts. TIe said in effect that the
Democratic campaign talk and promises
of years to deal with the trusts in dras-
tic fashion had been nul,ifed and the
promises Of the Baltimore platform
halkcd.
Abiding to the doubt bullet"
character Of the bill. Senator Reed
said:
The powerful and entrenched
monopolies cannot be driven from
their entertainments by that sort of
ammunition. They are disturbed by
nothing less than solid shot
After saying the bill should be call
ed 1.-The conferees' capitulation BILL"
he added:
In its finality it is a sort Of Hague
propaganda. conducted under a white
flag. to the soothing melodies of
Peace on Earth, Good Will Toward
the Trusts
Under its provisions no law vio-
lator will be hurt, no trust official
will be sent to Jail, no rude sheriff or
marshall will lay his rude fingers on
the perfumed person of trust mag
nate"
He quoted from Richard III'' to the
ecect that ''Grim-visaged war has
smoothed his wrinkled 'front.'" and
now "capered nimbly on the stock ex-
change"
The attack of Senator Reed is but
one of a number to be delivered.
Senators Borah, Nelson and others are
prepared to assail the emasculated
measure.
