Normal College Bill Near Passage in Georgia Legislature
In Atlanta on October 13 the General Assembly debated H Huff’s proposal to establish a Normal department at Rock College to train Georgia teachers.

The Senate also approved several bills, including foreign bill probate, extended landlord lien, street railroad consolidation, county guardian bonds, and pharmacist licensing exams.
