Board Of Education at Recent Meet
ing Decide instructors Should
all Be Returned.
RIGA GRAZING 70 TOUR EUROPE
School Treasury in Splendid Condi-
ton and A Debt Of 5000 Paid
off In Past Year.

At the recent meeting of the Be-
midi board OF education the present
corps of instructors were reelected
for the year .1911-1912, without ex~
ception.
It is expected that all but three
or four will accept to return to Be-
midi next year, and it has already
been announced by Miss Rica Grazing
instructor of Latin and German in
the high school that she and her sis
ter Eva Grazing, who formerly taught
here and who is now teaching at
Cloquet, will tour Europe during the
coming summer and winter, thus
leaving that important position open.
The teachers have until q week
from tomorrow to either accept or
refuse the nomination.
That the financial standing of the
board was in unexpectedly good con-
dition was made evident by the
treasurers report, which shows that
a debt of last year amounting to
$4,000 has been paid, this being
in the erecting of the new high
school building, and also the building
of a school at East Bemidji which
cost $4,000.
It is expected that the financial
standing of the board will be in bet
ter shape at the end of the present
school year than it has ever been in.
The board expects to pay of $12,-
900 in bonds during the next year
and have a sinking fund for the
purpose.
The Superintendent, w. P. Dyer,
reported that there was a total en-
rollment during the month of Febru-
ary of $50, to a comparison of $50
the year before, and that there was
a daily attendance of S97 to 865 the
previous year.
It was decided by the members of
the board that for the present the
establishing Of an agricultural de-
partment in connection with the high
school work should be dropped.

.BAelEY TO PLAY BEM|DJ|
Fastest Game of Season to Be Played
Tomorrow Evening.

Saturday evening in the Armory
the basketball fives of the Bagley
and Bemidji high schools will clash.
The game tomorrow evening will
be the last opportunity for Bemidji
lovers of the sport to witness a con-
test, and as the Bagley team is made
up of five of Northern Minnesota's
best athletes the game gives promise
of being a good one.
The Bagley Midgets will play Be-
midi seventh grade as preliminary
and as both teams are made of boys
10 or II years of age the contest
should be of unusual interest.
The high school boys have been
practicing hard with the Bagley
game in view, and as they realize
that they are to meet a five that
claims the state championship, and
rightly does, they will enter into the
game full of fight.
Larson, the Bemidji center and
captain, who was not in good con-
dition in the Grand Rapids game last
week. and who is, when well, one of
the best high school centres in this
part of the state, is again in good
condition, and is expected to play an
even game with the star Bagley man.
Another feature of tomorrow's
contest will be the playing of "Red"
johnson, formerly of the Bemidji
high school, and left tackle on the
football eleven who will play guard
for Baeley.

fled when Representative Kelmer, in
the discussion of the bill for an ex-
pertinent in clearing twenty acres
on each of ten forties, said that it
would cost $3.50 an acre to clear the
land and also that the reason that
northern Minnesota did not get set
tiers was not because it did not have
the stumps cleared away, but be-
cause it did not have the climate of
some of the states to the west of u.s.
