SCHOOL AID FOR RURAL PUPILS
Bemidji High Has Courses of Prac-

An additional course of studies has
been added this year to the list previ-
ously offered in the Bemidji High
School, for the benefit of those in the
rural districts who may care to spend
their unoccupied time during the
winter months. Special classes in
cooking and sewing are being offered
to the girls, and instructions in car
pentering, blacksmithing, agricul-
ture, corresponding, bookkeeping,
and arithmetic are special induce
ments to the young men of the sur
rounding vicinity. The studies Of
fered present unusual opportunities
to those interested in agricultural
pursuits. Tere they may obtain in
struction in lines along which they
are daily at work on the farm, and
which is otherwise available only at
far distant agricultural schools. AS
yet, few names have been presented
in response to previous announce
ments of this work. 1t is to be hoped
however, that many pupils will be
enrolled in the near future.
