F. II. Behnke reported that the com.
mittee had acted in relation to the train
ing schools for girls and that the couD-
Gil had practically granted them all they
had asked and that all had been done in
relation to that matter that possibly
could be done and that the board of con.
troll would without a doubt visit New
Ulm IN looking for location for the
school. Later in the evening Mr. Kloss-
ner spoke on the same subject and said
that he believed it would be sometime |
IN May before the board would make a |
selection.
