GET OUT!
Tbe City Has No Claim on the Normal Building and Most Vacate.
The Order Will be Ghren to tbe City School Board in a Few Hays.
THE STATE TAKES PITY ON THE CITY AND GIVES ONE YEAR GRACE.
The Law Creating the Normal School Terre Haute Gave the Land and Fifty Thousand Dollars to Secure the Building.
Terre Hante is proud of the Normal school building, and it is shown as one of the attractions of the city. This pride has been heightened by the impression among onr citizens, that the city had $50,000 in the building, and by the virtue of that amount invested had the privilege of having rooms for its High school. For several months the rumor has been floating about, and published in the city papers, that the city had no interest in the Normal building that the site of the school building and the $50,000 were donations to secure the building. Some time during the past winter the Normal board presented the city school board a bill for the rent of the room formerly occupied by Superintendent Wiley as an office in the Normal building. The city school board treated the matter lightly, and presented a bill to the Normal board. This brought up a discussion as to the right of the city to occupy a portion of the building,, The meeting of the Normal board in this city yesterday and the day before was looked upon with interest. It was thought that
Bome
action wouid be
taken. The Normal bo»rd claims that it has thoroughly investigated the affair, and find that the city haB no rights whatever in the building. Accordingly, it was resolved to notify the city to vacate the rooms it now uses in the building within one year. The notice will be given in a few day. The following report was made yesterday afternoon to the Normal board by Messrs. Murray Briggs and Joseph Gilbert, as a committee appointed to confer with a similar committee of the board: 2B the Board of Trustees of the Siate Normal School
Tbe undersigned committee appointed to confer with a similar committee of the city school board relative to the rent of an office to tbe city on the first floor of the Normal school building, and also in reference to the terms on which the city occupies the first floor of tbe building for High schosl purposes would report: That they had two conferences with Messrs. Morris and Stein, of the city school board, at tbe last of which tbe latter submitted the following paper:
TEKKE HAUTE, Ind., June2,1884.
To the Special Committee of the Indiana Normal School Trustees: GENTIJKMEN:—At a meeting erf your honorable board and the board of trustees of the common schools of the city of Terre Haute, held April 18, 1884, the subject of a bill for rent claimed to be due your board for four years past, and the conditions upon which the Terre Haute High school occupies rooms in 1 heNormal school building, were referred to a Joint committee, consisting of the president and secretary of each board, to investigate and report at a meeting in June, 1884.
The trustees of tbe common schools of the city of Terre Haute have given the attention and their opportu

Indications.
WASHINGTON,S.O.,June18,1 n.. m.—For the Tennessee and Ohio valley: Local showers, followed by fair weather north to east winds, higher barometer stationary temperature In Tennessee: cooler weather in Ohio valley.
Respectfully, RICHARD A. MORRIS, NICHOLAS STEIN, JR.,
Committee.
We find by the act of the legislature of 1865 that the Normal school was to be located in the city making the largest donation to secure it, provided the same be not less than £50,000 and by the aet of 1807 that no part of the state appropriation should he paid until the city of Terre Haute had vested in the board of trustees of the Normal school the title to the land donated by her as a site for the school by deed in fee simple and had also bound herself by an agreement filed with the auditor of state to forever maiutaln one-half of the neccessary repairs. These requirements were all complied with, as will be seen by reference to the records of this board, pages 5,6, 7,6 and 40. Also a certificate from the attorney general showing that the title of state was perfect.
There can be no Justification tor a pretense that the city of Terre Haute had an interest in the building to the amount of S75.000 or any other amount. Her Investment was a donation to the state for the sole purpose of securing the locaMon of the institution in the city, and not to secure rooms for High school purposes.
We therefore find that the title.to the building and ground Is .absolute in the state, and that .it is entirely underthe control of this board, and that the city has no vested rights here whatever, aud merely occupied a portion ot the Building according to an agreement between the two boards, entered into April i0tb, 1867, for the establishment of a "Model High School" and "Model Training Schools."
In regard to rent of room to the city school board for an office, the recor is show that tbe secretary of your board, Hon. Jno. T. Scott, was authorized, September, 1875, to rent to the city board for that purpose, the room on first floor, formerly occupied as a reception room, at a rate not less than $150 per annum. The city board took possession of the room immediately thereafter, and paid tbe rent at the annual rate of $150 to November, 1876, a period of fourteen months. The city board has occupied the room continuously from that time to the present, and enjoyed tne sole and exclusive possession. We therefore hold that there la due from of Terre Haute, on rent, the sum the cit of $2,16: .50. Respectfully submitted,
MURRAT BRIGOS, Jos. GILBERT.
A reporter for the Express met Mr. Gilbert last evening. "The city has not a shadow of a claim upon the Normal building: not a shadow of claim. Every thing the city gave was in the shape of a donation." Mr. Gilbert showed the reporter records that went to prove his assertion. There is

Mr. Frank C. Danaldson, a former graduate of the school delivered the alumni address which is here published is full.
Cave
a number of years past differences
of opinion have arisen between the two
our board. We are of opinion that all of
these matters should be determined and fully settled before any further proceedings are had. This board can only act under and within due bounds of law, aud for the purpose of perpetuating our pro. ceedlngs of record our committee is in. structed to respectfully request of your honorable board to make known to us In writing the rights, title, and you claim in the Normal building and grounds belonging thereto and, also, what rights and privileges you concede to us, and upon what terms and conditions you claim we occupy the premises. Upon the reception of this statement we shall give yon an early answer.
rs?a,
A number of years ago the people of this great commonwealth of Indiana, regarding education as the strongest foundation for republican government, set about to foster schools, colleges and othnr lii'ions of learning, so as to iru. way for every child to receive at least tbe rudiments of an English education. 8uccess has crowned their efforts. The grand result has been reached in the establishment of the present system of public schools. It is not my purpose to-night, in the brief time allotted me, to speak at length of the public school system, or of the common schools of Terre Haute. The fact that they are patronized by this entire people, irrespective of race or creed the fact that they are pointed out as the chief pride of this city, is a higher tribute to their worth and of the esteem in which they are held by the citizens of the community than any eulogium from my lips. Neither is it my purpose to deliver the usual sophomoric ovation on occasions of this kind. I am here to-night simply as one of the foster children of this our benign mother, to meet and shake hands with the friends of my schoolboy days, to go back with them through that mystic cord of memory into the old scnool room with all its trials and triumphs, its sorrows and joys, its pleasures and disappointments—to live again for a brief moment amid scenes that have long since passed and gone forever. Since 1867*two hundred and ninety-six boys and girls have finished the High school course of study, and amid the flowers, sweetest music and admiring friends have read their essays, delivered their oratories and received their diplomas. Of this large number many are residents of this city engaged in active pursuits of life, and have taken upon them the im-
ortant duties of citizenship. Some wandered away and token up their hotnes in
diatont states.
Some
have passed into "the dark house and and long Bleep," and to-night I place a forget-me-not upon their graves. Your school is repre sented in all the professions, in all the business of life, in the law, in medicine, in the press, in universities of learning, in the army, in the navy, in the halls of congress. Many of the young ladies who but a few years since were little girls "in russet gown and apron b'ue" are married, are mothers and their children are pursuing the same course of study in these schools that their mothers did before them. If the question was asked any one of these roster children to what did he attribute whatever success he may have achieved in lite, I doubt not but bis answer would be, it as to the early training he received in these schools, and to the principles of virtue and morality that were inculcated in his heart both by precept and example of his teach ers. If the gradutes of the High school have not made good men and women it is their own fault and not that of their alma mater. Previous to the ejection of this building the hi^h school had for its quarters a portion of the old three-story unpainted brick building that stood upon the corner of Fourth and Mulberry streets. Three rooms were allotted to its use—No. 8, the general assembly room, and Nos. 9 and 10, used for recitation. Every school room is a miniature world, composed of all classes, all grades of minds, and subject to all the passions, all tbe prejudices that characterize men and women of the after life. The high school was not the exception, for from it we had intellects bright and intel lects dull the studious and indolent wit, humor, pathos we had the sel^ reliant boy, perfectly fearless, and the timid one, who shrank from the sound of his own voice. Contention and ri valry we had, but it was honest con tention, and the rivalry of one mind over another. Let us look in upon No. 8, and see what they are doing. That gentleman with the slow, stately walk and manner which impresses the youth ful mind with solemn feelings, is the principal, but soon to occupy the exalted position of superintendent of the schools, this by reason of his merit, bis thorough competency, his kind ness and the universal respect he com mands. Looking over the room we see the scholars in various stages mental prostration and hard at work all serious even to a sadness, for on tbe morrow the monthly examination will occur, and all the city ministers will just happen in for a moment to ask few puzzling questions school-boy trials, you know. Soon the old brass gong, standing like a sentry by the doorway and keeping watch over the houra, sounds through the building
like a peal of thunder, and immediately the forces begin to move. No. moves on Nos. 9 and 10. Nos. 9 and 10 by sone sort of' double charge, capture No. 8. is but a change of the classes. Universal silence again ensues, inter rupted onh by some digni fied senior as he demonstrates some feverish problem in geometry or that ominous sound of the birchen rod, descending in soft, sweet, gentle blows npon some unlucky stripling for derilection of duty. But happily the day of the rod has passed. It has been vanished as it ought-to have been long years ago. It is an outrage to confound a bad heart with a poor digestion or torpid liver and make the ody pay the penalty. There are an hundred other and better ways of reaching the heart than through the medium of the pantaloons. The scene changes and it is Friday afternoon, after recess. I see the girls in clean aprons and much ribbons, the boys present a rather starchy appearance and have put on their Sunday manners with their Sunday clothes. Declamations and essays are in order. The table has been removed from the rostrum, and Miss Meily. Did I say Miss
Meily? What fond and endearing recollections her name recalls, Miss Meily, universally beloved. The just God haft endowed her with His choice blessings oi life, and she deserves them all. I know that I express the sentiment of everv one of her pupils when I say, God bless Miss Meily, and it is with the greatest possible land that I repeat the names of Mr. Wiley, Miss Meily, and Mrs. Moore whose voice on earth is now silent for ever. Well I hear that good woman announce the exercises. The first on the programme will be an essay by Miss Sallie Knapp, and I-see a little lady take the rostrum and read an essay of surpassing sweetness, "Where is Thy
Home?" fnll of pathos, and puts us all in the melting mood. The emanations of her genu is were all tended to the pathetic. Others wrote in a similar Style. Miss Knapp was but the type of that class of characters the school afforded. The next, a declamation. I see, a tall, lank, bearded fellow take the rostrum, and going down to its very edge extends his hands toward heaven ana exclaims: "Ye craigs and peaks I'm with yon once again. I old to you the hands that once were free!" It's Charley Joab declaiming Tell'8 address to tl.e mountains. He receives applause and retires to his seat with as much
guBto
principl3S
as a Roman
general flushed with a recent victory. School boy triumph, you know. Now I*Bee Miss Sallie Peddle, and she reads "The Three Wise Men of Gotham," full ot wit and humor, sparkling with the jewels of her own creation, and a broad ripple of laughter plays over the entire school. SLe, with Miss Mary Foot, were the representatives of the humorous style of writing. "Haifa league, half a league, half a league, onward!" It's Ed. Moore's turn, and the richness of his voice makes the words sound sweeter. And now the vision of old familiar faces and voices is before me of Graff,Wyetb, Marshall, Oakey, McKeen, Barton, Gordon and Clay, and all the pretty faces of the girls, and I hear through the commingling of voices in clear, distinct Irish brogue, "Just after the war in the year '98 as soon as the boys were all scattered and beat." It'stheblue-eyed boy of destiny in his favorite roll of "Shamus O'Brien." All honor to John Lamb, who from obscurity, by his own merit, industry and consummate energy, now occupies one of the highest positions within the gift of the people. I can just catch the outline of other faces, and hear indistinctly the sound of other voices, for they are so far sunk beneath the horizon of memory that I fail to recognize them. An old Grecian orator, I think, once said that "The
gates which bars of steel refuse, resistless eloquence can enter." How true, for the old High school walls, unable to withstand longer the irresistible eloquence of the senior classes which hid been battering against them for years, at last succumbed. They were knocked out of joint, and to prevent accident, thfe building was destroyed. Yet even now, I never pass that way but in my imagination I see the flattened nose of a school boy face against the window pane or hear that peculiar quaver of a tenor note as it now comes to me in— "0, God, our Father," or the sweeter strains of "Living Kinkness." You have passed your examination and are to graduate. What a time you have in preparing your oration, that greatest effort of your life. You write and rewrite, erase aud insert until you get your manuscript in such a condition that it looks like the mystic symbols on the obelisks. You find some eloquent sentence and put it in your speech, and you think it over at night in bed and imagine how it will electrify tbe world. After rehearsing it time aud again to your bed room furniture yon are ready for the grand finale. Commencement day is at hand, and in some large public building with fluttering haste you speak your piece and receive jrour diploma. Ring down the curtain, the first act in the great drama of your life is ended. Young ladies and gentlemen of the senior class, you may have lived amid the scenes that I have attempted to portray, you maybe going through the same experience. If you are it is but the experience of the boys and girls that have gone before you. Thus far in your life you have rested safely and securely in that harbor of the the school room. Now you are about to go out with the tide upon that ever restless, boundless sea of life to battle with the elements. Remember the
that have been taught
you in tne school room. They will shield and protect you and keep you from harm. That you may so act your part as to reflect honor, not only on yourself but the institution from whence you come, is the sincere wish of every member of the Alumni of the Terre Haute High School. I bid you good night and am done.
