A Cheeky Denial.

The Union denies our assertion that a
majority of the people of the county are
opposed to the Normal being taken to
Humboldt. The basis for our statement
was made from the standpoint that the
people of the townships nearest Hum
boldt would prefer that point, those
nearest lola, this place. This is a fair
presumption and is backed by common
sense. The official figures of population
would give it to lola by large majority.
You don't happen to have majority of
the people or voters down your way.

A reaeher,s view.

Mr.. EDITOR - ,-
Although not disposed to question the
good faith and intentions of Superin-
tendent Root, We cannot but think that
it is an unfortunate mistake that the
Normal Institute should be taken to
Humboldt.
The only argument advanced in sup
port Of the proposed change is one utter
ly destitute Of logic, q we'll As foresight.
It is urged that the minority in the
southern part of the county should he
favored occasionally-say once in three
years-even at the expense of discom-
moding the great majority of the teach
ers of the county. But what about the
local minorities in other parts of the
county? Have they not as much cause
to complain IS Humboldt and the sur
rounding districts? Certainly, and
much more. Has Humboldt, with the
southern part of the county been par
ticularly Disseminated against under the
former arrangement? One would think,
from the violent protestations with
which her claims are urged, that they
have been resignedly playing the mar
tyr these two years past-that they have
been the only sufferers under the old
plan. Teachers should surely not forget
40 sadly the geography of their county.
1t should not be forgotten that there are
other parts Of the county much more in
convenient to the county seat than Hum
boldt and the adjoining districts are.
These have uttered no complaint but
have steadily and heartily supported the
Institute by their attendance and inter-
est. I'VE do not mean to insinuate by
this that the southern districts have not
done their duty in this regard. They
have.) And now these districts are to be
left at still greater distance, merely to
accommodate the delicate spinal columns
and pedal extremities of the aristocratic
Will it be stretch of pro-
priety for Geneva, or Usage, or other
parts of the county 10 claim the Institute
next year, and next? So far from being
such, it will be the natural and inevita.
BILE logic of the situation.
lola is undoubtedly the most central
point in the county where it is at all
practicable to hold the Institute. And
aside from the eternal fitness of having
Ill county affairs at the county seat, why |
not, from the standpoint of sheer con-
and practicability, make it a
thing where it is the most
to all concerned? If it were
IN understood matter that it should he |
held always at the county seat, the sit
Ia,ion would be accepted and we should
anticipate no trouble. But if the pro-
,osed precedent is established, every
'ear will witness strife and hard feeling
With regard to it. A. TEACHER.

He states the attendance was a. laIg'

from the northern part. A bare-faced
statement which the official recor.ls or

reason why the Normal should not b

just as we'll located as, Humboldt and has
the some claim. He says further that it
is not customary in counties where there
are towns Of equal size, to hold it at the
county seat all the time. In some in.
stances that il true; in other counties it
is customary to hold it at the county
seat only.
Since this matter was first preached in
this end of the county Git seems it was

weeks since, we have tried not to say all
we felt like saying. Statement after
statement has been made by those who
are responsible for this, to Gay the least,
blunder. We happen to have . few fig
ures (officiaD from which we propose to
make a few counter statements aud
denials.
First. The custom all over the State
with few exceptions is to keep the
Normal at the most convenient point.
Second. There are more teachers and
persons intending to teach, who attend
the Normal residing nearer to lola than
to Humboldt
Third. There was large majority in
the Institute for 1873 from and adjacent
to lola over those from and adjacent to
Humboldt.
Fourth. Other points like Geneva,
Usage and El=more have the same right
t. demand it that Humboldt has, and it
would soon ruin the Normal to hawk it
about from corner to corner. If not
ruined it would seriously cripple its USE
fulne>s.
So far as our 'assailing" Supt. Root is
concerned we have not done so. His
action was blunder of which he himself

by him Of course is in the hands of the
people of Humboldt and he will be held

only reasons for blaming him. In that

So far a. the people of Humboldt are
it is all right. We do no,
cherish any grudge against them. They
got their pIeise fairly and we don't
blame them for It. If we lived there we
should have done the same.
For the reasons given heretofore the
location of the Institute there is wrong.
And that is the fault of Supt Root.
