We Don't Get it.

New York, 1895

The Governor has not fulfilled the expectations of the friends of the normal school. He let die the item in the supplemental supply bill appropriating $50,000 for furnishing the school. The $100,000 appropriated in the general supply bill is available for the work. Of course the failure to secure the additional $50,000 this year is to be regretted, but we have no doubt that the money will be appropriated next year. We've got to have it, and we're going to have it. The $100,000 will build the school house, and when it is completed the state will be obliged to make the additional appropriation to equip it.

—The Long Island Farmer, Jamaica, NY, June 21, 1895, p. 4.
