Appropriation of lllk000 for co-
ntend Normal Vetoed— A Strong
I Inttmetlon That Other Softool
Will Para Llkawlaa — v
Asserting that the normal
schools of Oklahoma are at pres-
ent little more than high schorils
and that there is ample room -lb
them for all students who wish
to attend if they were held
strictly to their proper prpvlnoe
as normal schools' Governor
Cruce Thursday sent a message
to the senate announcing ms ve-
to of the senate bill by McMechan
and Colville appropriating $100-
Q00 for a new school at Edmond
and $15000 for its equipment
He also intimated very strongly
that the other normals would re-
ceive similar treatment
' Immediately following the re-
ceipt of the message in which
the senate concurred by a unan-
imous vote a new bill was intro
duced by Senators MoMechan
And Colville and Representatives
Bolen Wright DeFord and
Pebbly appropriating $50000 for
a building at Edmonij It is
understood that the governor
has agreed to approve a bill for
that amount He stated in his
message that the school at Ed
mond has the largest 'enrollment ihoma or whether those schools
of any of the normal sohools and
that it is the school that was en-
titled to an appropriation if any
of them are i The message fol-
lows: ‘To I the 8enate Oklahoma
CityrOvla
“Gentlemen: I am herewith
returning to you without my ap-
proval Senate Bill No 26 by
Senators Colville and McMechan
I have studied the i conditions
that surround this appropriation
as carefully as I know how and
the necessities therefor and
have come to the conclusion lb ail
the appropriation should- nov-be
made at this time r
LARGE) ENROLLMENT f
"I will state' that my invest!
cation has (Srochly ccavir::J
me that the Edmond csrcU fcas
a larger enrollment Can any
other normal school in the sUts
and that the appropriations that
haxabeen made for bcil&zs at
that school are smaller than ap
propriations made for any' other
of the Oklahoma state normals
and if there could bl justifies
tiou for any additional apptoprl-
atlon for buildings for our nor-
mal sohools U would certainly
be for the Edmond normal
"The records disclose ths fact
that during the scholastic year
ending June 1 lWt there were
enrolled 1685 atudents Of this
number thoafe enrolled in the
normal department aggregated
824 or leae than fifty per cent of
the total enrollment Daring
the' present sobolaetle year there
have been enrolled to the 27th
day of Febtu&ry 1911 1400 stu-
dents 714 oP whom are in the
normal department or lees than
fifty-one percent There are
enrolled in this school during
this year In sub-normal and
training departments 692
students
"It will be seen from these
figures that more than one half
of the atudents attending this
normal during the past two
years are doing grade work
The people of this state muat
deolde whether or not we are to
have normal schools In Okla
are to continue to be largely
local 'high schools It takes
more' tban handsome school
buildings to make normal sohools
and the fact that they aredlalg-
Dated as normal sohools does not
make them - such Oklahoma
boasta the fact that she now has
in operation six thermal schools
The facts are that- we have not
$ jingle school In this state ex-
clusively doing real normal
school work f - i ' '
I “I believe the best interests
pf all the sohools of this state
dgpiand that our schools ’should
be required to do the work they
were by legislation designed to
do ' The responsibility 'along
this line will rest largely with
the l“ls!ture cfl Cklotiza-
As long as arproprlitlars are
made for buililr- th
for students to tl4hcr belli-
ins Is going to he f! il la
procuring studita there will
be no effbrl made to restrict the
attendeace to persons who do
real normal ached work
NOT FJU3 TO PEOPLED
"It la not fair to the people of
the stats to spproprlats money
that belongs to all the people to
help out epeotal localities If
the normal schools of Oklsboms
would elimlnste the students
that are doing grade work and
are not really entitled to enter a
normal aohool and would make
the localities J where these
students llveprovlde for their
needs in the graded eohools se
is made the duty of others sec-
tions of the state there would
be found to be ample room In all
of theae normal schools in I my
opinion to meet all pressing
needs of those institutions at
this time
“It is useless for me to) refer
to the well known faefthat ths
bnlldlng fund of this state Is fast
becoming depleted and that
there are hundreds of thousands
ot dollars owing to thri state that
have been inonrred under-contracts
for ths ereotlpn of build-
ings provided for by the former
legislature of Oklahoma ’ whloh
wearennable to pay In view
of these facts it Is certainly the
part ot yrledom to make only
anoh appropriations for publio
bulldlnga as the exigenoiea of
ot the oocasion imperatively de
mand t
"In coming to this honoluaion
I am doing so after the moat
deliberate consideration and
with the consciousness that I am
serving the best interests of all
the people of this state
' "I realise that my action in
this matter will be a sore dtaap
pointment to many of the best
friends I have In Oklahoma but
I am - sure that the’se THetids
though they may disagree with
me in the judgment t have
reached will not censure me for
