Another Female Normal to Be Established
A bill providing 20,000 dollars for a new state female normal school passes the Legislature with 5,000 dollars for maintenance. The school must be north of the James River and the location is to be decided by a committee if the bill becomes law. It may link with Farmville Normal, with a president chosen by the trustees, and each 5,000 inhabitants or county gets one pupil plus one for each House of Delegates rep, who must teach in public schools for at least two years after graduation. The patron, Mr. West of Louisa, cites statistics on state spending for education, noting disparities between black and white institutions and the Farmville Normal’s overcrowding.
