Re: The Will of the Senate - Senate Deliberations
Apologies Speaker, I was been praying at the Shrine of Bacchus this afternoon and I fear the formal... er... rituals may have resulted in a slight mental lapse.
It is a good thing that formal motions may still be proposed, though, for I have one that is of the utmost importance to our great city. This morning, as I was walking around Rome, admiring the wonders of civilized life, I suddenly realized that we lack formal institutions of education! Can you imagine? A people as great as us, with the prospects of rapid expansion and armed conflict looming, yet we have no methods of training the young in the ways of true Roman life! Are we to send uneducated farmers to lead our armies? Shall Rome itself be governed by illiterate prostitutes?
It is not enough to deal with the problems of today, we must also plan for the problems of tomorrow. We must invest in the future now, before it is too late! I propose that within the first year of the approaching Consulate, funds MUST be allocated for the construction of an Academy in Rome itself.
Motion 4: This house requires that construction of an Academy begin in Rome within one year.
