by my own connection with the insti.

personal ones should be given .sf
III The good instruction and valuable
training. given to the students are only
made good and valuable to the extent
that the bleaching force is good and ca
pable. In view OF this statement. It
is proper to state that our school has
had teachers and instructors in whom
their pupils could place confidence
and trust. The Board OF Regents has
for the most part always acted WISE
ly and has given us the best teachers
obtninable. 1t need not be personal,
but 1t could we'll be sud that the
present faculty OF the local Normal
school Is second to no other group
OF teachers in the State, and it is for
this reason-a thorough.going, we'll

Made SO mitch progress during the
present year. This is possibly the
greatest reason why the young peo-
pie OF our State should attend the
Fairmont Normal: 1t is good school
with progressive teachers.
But further yet, the good faculty
that We have Is not the only induce
ment which is offered to those who de.

TARSNEY
LATTER SUCCEEDED BY sEcuR.
tiles TRUST CO. AS TRUSTEE
OF ESTATE AND HANDS OVER
1928.

A severe blow TO Timothy r. Tars-
ney, former corporation counsel was
the decision of Judge Harry Lock-
wood, of Monroe, in the case OF Marcel
f.. Hude against Mr.. Tarsney, which
was handed down Tuesday afternoon.
Under the decision Mr.. Tarsney Is
required TO resign as trustee OF the
estate of Mrs. Melinda Hude-Vier. and
Is ordered to turn over to the Secur'
itv Trust Co. $37 1855, with interest on
si3 900 from August, 1908, and an en-
dowment policy paying $3.50 per year.
The terms OF the decision were at
once accepted by both parties and Mr..
Tarsney rendered his resignation ana
handed over the money. In doing TINS
he was not obliged TO call upon his
$4,000 bond.
The case arose from dispute over
tho disposition Of the estate OF MRS.
Hude-vier, of which Tarsney was trus'
tee. He was charged with investing
the property OF the estate In an elec'
trio railway which he was promoting
and II WAS claimed that the enterprise
was not such as ne could properly
fnanfce with trust funds, More than
s27 600 OF the estate money was IN
vested in the road when a quarrel
arose among the trustees. and the
road. OF which only Ia miles was
built has been a losing venture ever
since.
"We're glad 10 get the case off our
hands" said w. c. Fitzpatrick, Mr..
Tarsney's law partner. With the loss
sustained through the practical
wrecking OF the road. the payment
