Non-seetarlan EDUCATIONAL Institution

ported by Eastern Capitalists.

From Sundays Daily.
According to the plans of a num-
Der of the prominent business men
Billings is to have an up-to-date poly
technical school established here in q
short time. @
The school which will teach
branches Of engineering, including
civil, mining, electrical and mechani-
as carpentry, plumbing, blacksmithing,
Isive branch of study for women
covering sewing, cooking, household
economies and musical training in
voice culture and instrument playing.
a number of eastern educators are
concerned in the establishment Of the
institution as we'll as influential cap
.litalists Of the east. Several educators
who have been connected with the
founding of attraining school in Dillon
are interested in such an institution.
there and 1t is said that they have the
working plans for the construction Of
the school buildings ready for their
acceptance by the promoters behind
the movement.
TWO Dormitories at Present.
The present plans call for two mod
ern u%p-tO-date dormitories and the adj
dition Of instruction buildings and
dormitories from time to time as the
school progresses. The buildings will
be laid out in the formation Of q
quadrangle as is the rule followed out
in most of the larger universities and
technical schools in the country. The
lower floors of the dormitOry build
ings to be constructed this year will
be used for recitation rooms and will
accommodate between 200 and $50
students with dormitory accommoda-
tions for about 60.
Equipment of the very highest
standard will be installed and the
most capable instructors will be en-
ployed. AS the only institution Of Its
kind between Minnesota and Washing
ton it will draw largely not only from
this state but from the western and
middle states giving the school a
wide field to draw upon. Students
desiring an education in the way Of
useful trades will have all the adj
vantages offered to engineering stu
dents in this and other technical
schools.
AS the home of the new polytechnic
cal institute, Billings will derive
many benefits in that a large number
of students from this and adjoining
states will make this city their homes
for eight months out OF the year and
Twill advertise it as no other Montana
city having a state educational insti-
tutions enjoys.

PRINCIPAL OF HIGH SCHOOL

"A mild little disciplinary earthquake
has struck the High School the past
few days, and yesterday several Of the
boys who have been presumably re-
tracsory ran up against the school
Laws. They met defeat, il is said.
The numerous members OF the
High School have fad much to talk
about recently in regard to things
that have happened there On Wed
nesday when the pupils gathered in
the morning they found that many Of
their books had been carried away by
practical jokers during the previous
night The books were found up
stairs on the laboratory floor, and
probably the perpetrators Of the joke
thought they would have a good laugh
IN their sleeves while the books were
iaboriously carried back and distrib-
uted. But something else happened.
Principal Incl arose to the occasion
calmly, il is said, and just as calmly
ignored the absence OF the books and
announced that everybody would at
once prepare for the regular monthly
examinations.
All day Thursday the pupils tOiled
ever the exams, which may have been
q little harder than usual, The school
authorities are mum as clans about
the whole episode, bat the matter

that some Of the boys have been
found smoking cigarettes on the
school grounds, and one particular
