Many Turned Out to Discuss
School Matters in Spite
of the Rain.
PEOPLE BACK SCHOOL BOARD
I'm STAND ON QUESTION.
We're Some Good Speeches Made
and a Few Hot Arguments
Indulged In.

There was a mass meeting at
the city hall last night. It was
called, according to the hand
bills advertising it, SO that pub
lie discussion Of school matters
might be had. From the stand
point of those attending the
meeting, expecting from what
had gone before to be enter
tanned and amused, it was an un-
qualified success.
An adjournment was taken
without any resolutions being
passed or any recommendations
being made other than one in
structing the school commission
ers to do as they thought best in
the matter. The sentiment of
the citizens present, however,
clearly favored the estand taken by
by the majority of theschoolboard
regarding the immediate con-
struction Of an addition to the
village school house without the
slow formality of vote of the
district being called for.
The inclement weather kept
many away who might otherwise
have come, and only a fair sized
gathering resulted, but as a big
shajority of those present were
thoroughly representative Of the
people as a whole in matters re
lating to the upbuilding and
pushing forward of the best IN
terests of Bemidji, the final out
come of the meeting, as far as
the sentiment of the citizens was
concerned, would have been
practically the same even though
every seat in the hall had been
filled
There were several speakers,
prominent among them being
David Booth, John e. Oyler. j. J..
Trask, L. II. Bailey and Fred
Brinkman. The latter, with his
CALCULATIONS and frequent lively
comments on the subject in
hand, sswas alone worth the
price of admission, to use the
familiar circus expression, and
in this case the price was a soak
ing from the rain.
Messrs. Trask and Bailey in
particular delivered good,
straight, common sense adj
dresses relative to the educa-
tional interests of the village,
and their remarks were heartily
applauded.
The meeting was character
lied by disputes, hot discussions
and mildly exciting Interruptions
David Booth and Editor Oyler
of the Bemidji Sentinel on the
one side arrayed against School
Commissioners Jinkinson, Cas-
ler and Smyth and all other
citizens present, with the excep-
tion of Mr. Nye, perhaps. Mr..
Smyth, secretary of the school
board, called the meeting to
order and moved that ]. J. jim,
kinson be appointed chairman.
His motion found a second and
was carried, with a few dissent.
ing votes. Mr.. Oyler here
stepped forward and asserted
that trickery was abroad in the
land and that it was through
trickery that Mr.. Jinkinson was
made chairman. As the meet.
ing was called for a public dis.
cussion of school matters, and
every body was inyined to attend.

mivtees or individuals, were at
tached to the bills announcing
that the meeting was to be held,
it was difficult to follow Mr..
Oyler's reasoning, 50 no I'M
mediate adjournment was taken,
even after the Sentinel man had
explained that all the men of
their side We're not present to
set forth their claims. 1t seems
that s'their side" had intended
that Mr.. Booth be made chair
man Of the meeting, and that it
had been planned to have others
present to argue against allow
ing the board of education to go
ahead with the work Of con-
structing an addition to the
school house. Mr.. Oyler made
several other attempts in line
with his first argument, but
none of his remarks seemedN to
meet approval. He introduced a
resolution recommending that
the school board call a vote Of the
district on tho school DrODOSi-
tion, but his motion to have the
resolution adopted was not
voted on.
MI. Bailey, in a very interest
ing address, stated that, al
though he had at first been
against the building Of an ad-
dition, he was now, having been
made better acq uainted with the
true situation through the efforts
of the school board, heartily in
favor of the move. He said he
believed this was the best thing
that could be done at the present
time, and that the board was
right in it's efforts to have the ad-
dition erected. He explained, to
the satisfaction of his audience,
why it was impractical at the
present time to erect one or
more new school houses in the
district, and why the addition is
the best and cheapest way out OF
the difficulty The Sentinel editor
and Mr.. Booth both interrupted
the speaker, asking that Mr..
Bailey be made to cut his speech
short. The speaker, however,
was setting forth facts In such a
lucid and interesting manner,
and was really taking up only a
little time, that the interruptions
brought nothing but amused
smiles from the audience, which
gave the closest attention to Mr..
Bailey to the end of his short
talk
His motion that the whole mat
ter be left to the board of educa-
ton for adjustment was seconded
and carried when voted on. The
! board will therefore follow out
the plan first made and go ahead
with the building of the addition.
