The county clerk's cash report shows two items totaling 3,000 dollars from May 1905 to May 1906, suggesting a possible double charge.

The board of regents ousted Frank Desmweater as president of the State Normal at Maryville and elected a preacher with little school experience. The move, supported by the governor's pastor at the capital, provokes statewide protest among educators. Governor Folk's allies blame Superintendent Gass, but the governor appoints regents who bear responsibility. Calls grow for removal if politics taint this great educational institution.
