with only vigor enough left for kind
Of petulant whining, makes the recent
equalization of the salaries of the
Principals of the State Normal Schools
at $4,000, the subject for complaint
It says "such wages paid for the very
ordinary talent necessary to carry on a
Normal School is extortionate." We
cannot answer for the other schools,

St. Cloud school, had the offer of the
SUPPLEMENTARY Of the public schools

the t,me he was reel ected Principal Of
this Normal school 90 that the value
placed by the State Board on tho "tal.
lent necessary to carry on Normal
School, does not differ from the estimate
Of similar bodies in other fields. We
do not believe capable men can be
found to ell these positions at a less
price. If our educational institutions
were tobe conducted onthe guage of mar
row minds, they might as we'll, SO far as
oil purposes Of usefulness ore concern.

entire cost saved. What is worth doing
at oil is worth doing we'll.
