Senate Votes to Substitute Normal School Bill in Guthrie
In Guthrie Oklahoma on May 20 the Senate chose a substitute to place three permanent normal schools on the east side of the state. The move delays location decisions to the next legislature while using the bill as goodwill toward the east. The Vandeventer Whitehurst measure offering $1500 for a summer normal in east side counties is expected to address immediate needs.
