President Carhart Of the Mayville
Normal Is Referred to as a Gar

The Mayville Farmer has the fol-
flowing article about President Carhart
and the Mayville Normal:
This is to say that The Goose River
Farmer has watched carefully the con-
duet Of the state normal school at
Mayyille for the past ten years and
while It has considerable to commend
it has much to condemn. 1t is need
less to say to the citizens Of Mayville
that all has not been as 1t should have
kbeen. Itlis very common saying that
the everlasting friction, that has ex-
listed. should be terminated, and the
sooner the better. Why this friction
has existed we are not going to elab-
crate on at this time, but that IL has
and does exist no one will deny. This
should not be so. That the fault lies
with all the good teachers who have
been let out during that period, The
Farmers does not believe and neither
does the citizenship of Mayville. IL
cannot and could not be possible that
so many were wrong and only one was
right If those many, good teachers
places could be filled by other good
teachers so could the one. 1t only
goes to demonstrate that the world is
full of good teachers and good people,
Why. we might all die or pass away
today and the world would jog along
the same as ever and we would hardly
be missed. Don't for minute believe
that the existence of this world, or
1.-THE conduct of the same depends on
any one person; ii never has and 1T
never will.
Just before the annual election of the
faculty for the state normal school at
Mayville for another year, The Farmer
desires to say for one that 1t Is ever
lastingly tired OF, or in other words,
nightly opposed to this hegira Of
teachers. 1t is commonly asserted that
at the next election of teachers for the
normal that If the present head of the
school is reelected that at least four
of the present faculty will have to 60
| Why? Shall it be so?
| Recounting the following exodus OF
teachers from the normal, during the
past ten years, is not altogether a
pleasant reminiscence to Mayvilleites.
Imany Of whom had personally endear-
ed themselves to various of our citi-
zens in sundry ways. and which citi-
zens were just as capable Of judging
of their manhood or womanhood as
anybody. There are times when the
accredited judges are not the most
competent:
