who Started Trouble.

Late history OF politics in the normal
schools dated from the time Arthur Mullen,
state oil inspector, had introduced into the
Legislature a bill to legislate out of office
the existing normal board. which happened
to be composed of republicans, TO make
way for democrats to be appointed by
Governor Shallcnberger. The only change
in the law was placing under the control
OF the normal board the junior ncrrsis,
taking these schools from the jur .sdIctlon
OF the state superintendent.
over the protests of many republicans
who urged that the normal schools be kept
out of politics the democratic majority i'm
sisted Upon passing the measure and It he
came a law.
Governor Shallenberger at once appointed
four democrats and one republican, oClonei
Majors, who helped to pass the bill, as
members of the new board. No charges
were filed against the old board and there
was no complaint as to its manlg 81 elt,
but the governor without a hearing siinp.y
appointed his democratic board.
The law was declared unconstitutional by
the supreme court. Mr.. Crabtree was
charged with assisting in the passage of
that bill and with being out of harmony
with the Peru member of the board, DR..
Shellhorn, refusing to recognize him as a
member Of the executive committee and
refusing to recognize instructions from the
board in certain matters which were under
the jurisdiction of DR.. Shellhorn. Accord
ing to member of the board. dissention
broke out between members of the faculty
and tho board concluded for the best in

Normal board which yesterday asked for
the resignation of Principal Crabtree to
take effect at the close of the school year,
has not yet considered the question Of his

Various rumors have been set afloat that
II the board removed Mr.. Crabtree the
governor would start proceedings TO Dust
the members of the board who received
appointments at the hands Of a previous
executive.
Governor Shallenberger said today, how
ever, that he contemplated no action of
any kind just at this time and in fact had
given the Normal board and its business
very little thought.
Il was surprised that the Normal board
would remove such a splendid educator as
Mr.. Crabtree simply for political reasons"
said the governor. Il am sorry the board
has dragged the normal schools into pol
itics. 1t will not be to the interests of the
schools. 1 have given the matter no
