LAW MAKERS!
Mr. Shipman Tells Of the Do
ings In the Legislature the Past
Week "Monkey Business"
Has the Stage.
(By M. L. Shipman.)
Raleigh, Feb. 23. —"Monkey busi
ness" has had the center of the
stage in the General Assembly the
past week and no great amount of
progress has been made in the enact
ment of general legislation. Thy!
Revenue Bill has been whipped into
shape and is now under considera
_ tion by the committee of the whole
f in the House. The bill providing ap
propriations to the State education
al, charitable and penal institutions,
pensions for the confederate soldiers
and widows; for the payment of the
interest oil the State debt; equaliz
ing fund for the public schools, etc.,
is to follow in due course. The
Finance committees have raked ev
ery available source of revenue with
a line tooth comb in an effort to
comply with the demands of the ap
propriations committees. But "the
i all is not sustained." There is an
appro 'table difference between the
two which is not likely to be "recon
ciled" at this session.
Tv.i days were given to the con
:sii('i at'oll of the Poole resolution
outlawing tile teaching of evolution
* in St ite institutions, whieh had been
made a special order for Tucmuj
night. The bill was displaced how
ever, on account of the crowdi d con
dition of the hall and galleries of
the House which were jammed with
people eager to hear the discussion.
The question for debate was: "Re
solved by the House of Representa
tive;., the Suiate eom-urriiur, that it
i- the sense of the General Assem
bly of North Carolina that it is in
jurious to the welfare of the people
of the Commonwealth for any otiicer
or teacher in the State, paid wholly
or in part by taxation. io teach or
permit to i»o taught, as a fact, eith
er Darwinism or othei evolutionary
k hypothesis that linksinati in blood
relationship with any other lower
fori l of life.
Tile resolution came up oil the
I louse I aleiiiiar Thursday morning
as unfinished business and the "lire
works" started without difficulty.
The forces in favor of the resolution
were directed by Representative
Turlington of Iredell; the opposition
by Representative Murphy of Row
an. Mr. Turlington could see no
harm in prohibiting the teaching of
theories as facts and paid his re
spects to the heads of State institu
tions who had appeared In-fore the
committee in opposition to the reso
lution. lie was sustained in his con
tentions by Messrs. Madison of
Jackson, Hunter of Polk, Braswell of
Nash, Neal of Caswell, Miss Alex
ander of Mecklenburg and Pool of
Hoke, author of the resolution, who
pointed out the dangers to young
minds of theories that are now being
promulgated through the camou
flage of science in the high schools
and colleges of the State. Mr. Tur
lington declared he parted company
with Doctor Chase and the Univer
sit>'i under his management, after
r hearing the Doctor's speech before
the Committee on Education in op
position to the resolution. Repre
sentative Madison sought to refute
the suggestion of the abridgement of
freedom of thought, freedom of the
press and freedom of speech. Other
proponents of the measure took
much the same view.
Representatives Ervin of Burl."
Connor of Wilson, Everett of D.k
hani, and Yelverton of Wayne, o.:i
eurred in the opinion of 51 r. Mur
phy in his appeal for religion.; free
dom and kindred influences. Free
dom for everything was the slogan
of the opposition, besides, they con
tended that the legislature is not
the proper forum before which to
bring the issue and the House finally
concurred in this view by voting to
table the resolution. Following is
the vote on the motion to table:

NO SCHOOL
IN THIS COUNTY
Stokes and Surry Counties Will
Conduct Joint Summer School
For Teachers At Pilot Mt.
An agreement has been reached
whereby Stokes and Surry counties
will co-operate in holding a joint
summer school for teachers this
year at Pilot Mountain. No other
school for teachers will be held this
year in either county.
The date for hoding the school
at Pilot Mt. and the names of the
instructors will be announced later.
Supt. of Schools J. C. Carson, who
was here yesterday, stated that it
was i xpectcd that the school at Pilot
Mt. would be largely attended by
teachers from the two counties.
Following are the requirements of
teachers who enter the summer
| school:
Requirements for Entrance
1. One must be eighteen years
of age.
2. One must have completed four
j full years of high school work.

Those Who Should Attend

| visional A and One-Year Temporary
j  'ert ilic.ites.
Although gra lu.-it f standard
| high - houls may attiud a County
| Summer School ill . "e -eiv e cert ill
: ate credit, it would be much better
' -hould they attend an approved sum
mer -hool. Tiiis is i specially true
j since one must have credit for two
■thinner school units to secure the
j Elementary B Certificate.
Credits Offered
