The Matter of Issuing Bonds for Pur-
chase OF New Site Under
Consideration.
AN ELECTION TUESDAY EVENING
TO VOTE ON THE PROPOSITION
Present OVercrOWded Condition of the
Schools Necessitates Action To-
ward Securing More Room.

The attention of the voters of
the independent school district
of Bemidji is again called to the
special election held IN the Cen
trail building on Tuesday even
ing next, for the purpose of vot-
ing bonds for the erection of
a high school building and pur-
chasing asight therefore.
This is proposition that
everyone should be interested in
and should AGO uaint himself with
the needs of the district.
AS we understand it, this is to
be called high school building,
but will be used also for the
eighth and possibly for the sew
enth grades. The buildings now
in use are crowded to overflow
ing. Three more teachers than
we now have room for are now
engaged for next year. These
are a High School teacher, and
seventh and fourth grade
teachers.
Some are advocating erect
ing more small ward build
ings. This seems to be unwise,
as the present high. school quart.
ers are now inadequate for the
present demand. This year
every seat was occupied in the
small assembly room. There is
but one room for recitations,
chemical, physical and biological
laboratories, where there should
be at least four. AS the school
grows more room will be needed.
It has been the plan to erect
small buildings in the past and
add to them as occasion requires,
This plan has always failed
wherever adopted.
The block which is recon.
mended to the voters seems to be
the most centrally located that
can now be secured. It seems to
us that it would be unwise to
select less than an entire block
as undou btedly it will not be
many years before still more
room will be needed. The select
ing of whole block will give an
opportunity for the erection of
large, handsome addition, should
it be needed, without acq uiring
more ground.

Ray Martin died at the Golden

father and mother, who live at
that place, were present when he
died.
The body of Martin was

of the state.
The monument is a spire de-

The last resting place of "Good

the city of Bemidji was named,
is now marked by a handsome

the noble traits of an Indian
