Some Evening Reveries.

VueH d young man HrSC emerge
from the schools and enters upol
the career of life, it is painful,
amusing to witness his self-sufic
iency. He would have all the
world to understand that he has
learned out"-that he is master
of all knowledge and can unravel
all mysteries. But as he grows
older, he grows wiser; he learns
that he knows a great deal less
than he supposed he did, and by
the time he reaches to three score
years, he is prepared to adopt as
his own the sentiment of John
Wesley, who said: when | was
young, | was sure of everything;
In few years, having been mista-
ken a thousand times, | was not
half so sure of most things as was
before. At present I am hardly
sure of anything but what God has
revealed to man."
1t young men desire success in
life, IN the truest and purest sense
of the term-success that culmin-
ates in a noble, stainless life, en-
during, exaiting and immortalizing
even after passing over to the I'M
seen-it is certainly very essential
that their characters be founded
unwavering upon the broad and
enduring principles of religion.
An unbeliever may become a great
man, without doubt, if he has the
energy, ambition and talent; but
an intellect of the highest order
must be based upon christianity.
There exist in the present age so
many temptations to lead the young,
the pleasure-loving and thoughtless
astray, and such an utter disregard
Of honesty, virtue and truth among
many of our leading men that
wide field of usefulness is open to
the honest and upright in heart.
Why should not you, young man,
just stepping upon the arena of
life, bring your influence to bear
with a strong hand and a clear
head in the correction and punish
ment of many great evils? Will
you do it?
Whoever has any observation or
experience in the matter must have
noticed what a tedious operation
learning to read almost always is,
and were it not for the plant mind
of the child it would be far more
so. The brightest and easiest
taught children will drawl their
words, make pauses where there
are none and blunder in various
ways before they acquire the abli-
ty to repeat the words they have
learned to form a sentence which
has an intelligent meaning to them.
Much persevering plodding is re-
quired after that before they can
get the meaning of the story con-
tanned in one short. page.
Is not this true of the best of US
in learning to read the stern les
sons of life? Are we not all dull
scholars when we come to interpret
the meaning of the hard discipline
Of sorrow and care which falls to
the lot of even the most favoredF
Do we not learn slowly, and often
through great tribulation, the SOL
emn teachings of lifes And how
many fail to catch it at all, to whom
Zach day and week and year of /;
heir lives means no more than the
words of the blunder-
ng scholar mean to him. Happy
re they who comprehend the true
meaning of the chapter of life. :

THE BOARD OF EDUCATION
SUBMITS ANNUAL REPORT
At Annual Meeting A. A. Warfeld and j. Lahr Are Re.
elected Directors for Three Years-Treasurer's
Report Shows Good Cash Balance.

the item" For officers salaries-$45O"
covers their salaries as follows: Clerk,
5000; treasurer, $3.50. (Included in
this is the amount the treasurer
paid for the $4,000 surety bond.
1t has also been stated that with
the June settlement of taxes the
district should receive $4,000.
But total of $9,342.67 was received
of which $2,609.66 is the amount
raised toward the bonded indebted
ness and must be set aside into this
fund.
According to the decision of the
voters, this spring, the district is
authorized to purchase a school site
for the location of the school house
building.
The board has paid $3593.45 and
still have C.. E. Barrett and James
Burns to make settlement with.
Among the intended improve
ments to be made this year will be the
installation into the Central school
building of a ventilating and heat
ing plant at an estimated cost of
$4,000 or $4,000.
Next year the board will be CON-
PEELED to hire one additional teacher
for the high school and two addi-.
tional teachers for the grades
They will also be obliged to rent
four additional rooms down town to
accommodate the needs of the school.
The school board starts the year
with cash balance of $25,38O.2O.
Of this amount $5,177.2O is in the
sinking fund and will be used to
take up outstanding warrants as
they mature. 81, 406.55 is in the
fund-"New school house site," and
will be used for that purpose. This
leaves balance of $18,796.92 to
care for the business for the coming
year.
From that amount will be paid
the amount of about $4,000 required
for improvements on the old build
ing, leaving about $15,5OO for the
current expenses for the year.
This is not too much for current
expenses when it is taken into con-
sideration that the October settle
ment, is small and the March SETTLE
ment, though larger, does not meet
anywhere near the demand.
The bulk of the taxes being COL
lected from the June settlement,
which is not available until the close
of the school year.

c. H. Miles in Town.

c. H. Miles arrived in the city
last night from St. Paul and spent
today here looking after his various
business interests.
Mr.. Miles states that works. pro.
crossing nicely on his new theate,
building in Minneapolis, and that he
is well satisfied with the conditions.
This theater will stand on Seventh
street, between Nicollet and Henne.
pin avenues, and will be one of the
finest play houses in the west. The
theater will be provided with every
modern arrangement and completed
in an elegant manner, and will be
named the Miles Theater.

The new launch owned by the
M. R. L. & M. Ry., is very pretty
craft, being so feet long with a
breadth of 10 feet. It is fitted with
two engines, the capacity in power
being forty-fve horse. It is the
mail boat that piles between Redby
and Shotley postohice, a distance of
forty-flve miles, making the return
trip the same day. 1t showed itself
to be very sea-worthy boat and
paid but little attention to the
waves, which we say were quite
wild.
The Red Lake line has added a
new car to it's rolling stock and
now has very good passenger facili-
ties for the handling of it's traffic.
The car was purchased direct from
the Burlington route. Gen. Mana
ger Molander, successor to Gen.
Manager Marson, certainly deserves
credit for the way in which he is
bringing the short-line road up to
high standard of efficiency and we
are sure that the public will all
the more appreciate it by giving
him liberal patronage. We can say
that anyone who takes a trip over
the road will be used well and
every consideration will be shown
to them.
If you are looking for pleasant
place to spend Sunday. 60 to Red
Lake over this road and you will
never regret it, for it is beauty
spot of Minnesota.

Large Delegations Expected from

A district convention for this
district of the K. P. lodges of Min
nesota will be held in Bemidji to.

THE. BUSINESS COLLEGE
OFFERS AN OPPORTUNITY
For Youth Of Bemidii to Get an Excel
lent Business Education, at
Small Cost.

The youths of our city should
not stop at dollar getting educa-
ton, but it certainly should not
stop short of it. ~ r..
The first step needful to get in
touch with affairs is to be able to
render intelligent, capable service.
Business men have no longer time
to teach apprentices. 1t is not very
long ago since "'man in trade"
was persona non grata in the
higher circles of eastern countries.
Today, the man in trade," the
business man, is king. The skilful
player at a game of chess moves
kings or queens, bishops, knights
and powns at his own sweet will;
and the captain of industry in the
greater game of business plans the
moves of kings, cars and emperors.
The great potentates do honor to
king business. They obey the will
of the Captain of Industry" and
successful "Giants of Finance"
Verify the whirligig of time brings
many changes. If the spirit of the
age is business, Bemidji wants to
get in touch with it.
1t is as necessary in these days to
understand the rudiments of bust
ness first, as it is for the babe to
crawl before it can walk. To enter
any business unprepared in these
days is an imposition, and reflects
discreditably on the applicant for
position. 1t is only the weakling
who unreasonably hopes and wishes
when he might act. If wishes were
horses we would all own a long
string of livery stables. 1t is hoped
therefore that the young men and
women of Bemidji will give good
account of themselves now that it
has become possible for them to
make at home ali the preparation
The Bemidji daily pioneer. [volume] (Bemidji, Minn.) 1904-1971, 1908-07-20

necessary from the duties of book
keeper, stenographer, to those of an
active secretary for a corporation.
We urge our boys and girls not to
permit others to walk over their
heads. Now that q high grade
business college is to come here let
it justify the opinion Of its manage
ment in our being up with the times.
Write to the manager without delay.
