Quite a number Of neighhoring jour.
mails, possibly filed with envy because
they hay'nt got a Normal School,
have spoken ungenerously and I'M
kindly of our school. But we are
glad to see that fully an equal number
of journals have said things just, gem
erous and fair. The Jackson Repub-
lie contains an article Of this kind.
So also has the Madelia Times, and
other papers. who realize the fact
that our school has been managed in
a broad and liberal manner, free from
sectarian or political bias

Tripped Up Beautifully

Our excellent contemporary, the lie.
Sueur Sentinel, is extremely unfortu
nate whenever it attempts to speak
about Normal School matters, as wit.
ness the following
at is true, Republican Governors
have taken special pains to ignore
Democrats i'll all nOn-partisan posi-.
tionS.
The facts are that there have been
three Democratic members in this
city, of the State Normal Board, viz
Hon. DanI Buck, f. ID. b. Porter,
and Judge James Brown; and there
have also been three Republican mem.
beers. So dissolves each and every
accusation made against the manage
ment of the Normal School.
