MAY BUY THE ARMoRY
Bemidji Athletic Club Considering
Proposition q Clyde M.
Bacon
MEETING TO BE HELD MONDAY

Monday afternoon the Board Of
control of the Bemidji Athletic Club
called a meeting to discuss several
business propositions which will
prove benefit to the club. Clyde M.
Bacon appeared before the Board
and offered to sell the Bemidji Ar
mory on reasonable terms.
A meeting Of all members of the
club will be held next Monday night.
and the matter brought before the
entire organization AS the idea of
the Club is to obtain athletic quar-
ters it is probable that one of the pro-
positions will be accepted.
The present structure would un-
doubtedly serve the purpose of the
club for the time being and as the
location is one of the best in the city
permanent brick building could be
built.in the future. II the proposition
is accepted the club will take i'm
mediate steps to install shower baths
and other gymnasium paraphanalia.
AS the rent could be easily secured
for the building for a year through
entertainments it is. probable that
the lease proposition will be ac-
cepted at this time which will leave
a year to make further arrangements
for. the purchase. -<s-, -

Commercial Department

"We're going to have one of the
best commercial courses to be found
anywhere in any school in the state
this year," said Superintendent Dyer.
t'This is one of the branches we wish
to elaborate upon. In addition to the
regular courses the student can take
one or all of the following. Book
keeping, stenography. typewriting,
penmanship, commercial arithmetic
and law and spelling. The course will
fit the student for general office
work and aims to give young people
of this community chance to get
commercial training at home.
"This instruction is free to all. No
charge will be made. The course can
be taken by any graduate of the
high school, senior in the school or
by young people who will be 1S years
of age before the school year Closes"
All the grade positions have been
filled and complete announcement
Of the teachers and classes will be
made next week. Fannie Mosford
principle of the central building has
resigned her position to accept cri-
tic position in the St. Cloud Normal
school. The position is considered
an excellent one. Miss Mosford has
been here three years and previous
to this time has been with Mr.. Dyer
at Alexandria for three years. She
was a splendid teacher and principle
and her place will be hard to fill.
President Schumacher of st. Cloud
has taken two of our teachers during
the past pear evidently realizing
that they receive the proper train
ing here. Miss Murray left during
her term.
Anne Johnson graduate of the
state university and an experienced
teacher becomes drawing supervisor
in place of Miss Floy Donaldson who
after several years of successful SER
vice here has resigned to enter Co
lumbia University to take up advance
studies il art.
Under her supervision the are de-
partment was organized and placed
in the front rank of our state schools.
She is talented and capable artist
and instructor and has been deeply
interested in making art enter into
the lives OF the pupils to enrich them
along these lines. Her loss is keenly
felt and will be one Of the hardest
positions to fill.

BLAIR LEE.

Like every man who makes great fight within a
political party to rescue it from machine domination
and tory tendencies Blair Lee has made great many
enemies in his own party. During the primary fight
for the Democratic nomination for Senator from
Maryland, these forces opposed him with all the
resources and every stratagem they could bring to
bear They failed. Afterward, in the election cam
paign, many of them by innuendo and ndirecton
sought to weaken him. He was attacked in this
fashion with bitterness not often exceeded He has
won because the people recognized that after all he
the leader in an effort to make better and more
useful Democratic party. Maryland is traditionaly
Democratic State. Everything considered, it is able
to progress about as the Maryland Democracy pro-
gresses Lee stands for progress through and in the
Maryland Democracy, and that is why he has been
elected in the first contested popular election of
Senator ever held.

AN EXPENSIVE ECONOMY.

Every once in awhile some mathematician comes
along with computation to show that if rollcall
in the House of Representatives requires thiry-fve
minutes, then it costs the taxpayers $1,975-or may
be it's S1e75, or $197.30-or Some other scandalous
sum that is mostly wasted An hour of needless talk
for the Record represents expense big enough to
buy home for modest family; and so on.
These things are suggested in connection with
the retirement of DR.. Davidson as superintendent
of the Washington schools. In the old times before
he came here, when the Washington school question
was everlastingly before Congress, it must have a
cost million dollars worth of Congressional time
every session to worry about the Washington schools
Since he has been in charge all that time has been
saved
To have to resume the ancient debate about the
Washington schools and what's the matter with them
would mean distinct and visible reduction in Con-
gressional efficiency. DR.. Davidson put quietus on
that debate because after, he got his hand on the
throttle there wasn't any Washington school question
to worry Congress.
Letting DR.. Davidson 60 away may save $4,000
or $4,000 in salary; but if We accept the very modest
figure of million dollars per session as the cost Of
Congressional oratory about the schools there will still
be net loss of $ee6,OOO to $9e7 ,OOO To Con-
gress devoted to economy and the taxpayers inter-
ests prayerful contemplation of this computation
is earnestly commended.

A SCHOOL OF RURAL LIFE.

While We are thinking of the tariff, the currency
and other big subjects, the Secretary of Agriculture
comes to the front with declaration that he con-
sders the rural life problem the greatest one con-
fronting the people. He adds that it has been ig-
nored in its larger aspects.
After the George Peabody College for Teachers
at Nashville, organizes its school of country life
he will have reason to change his opinion. This is
the admirable form which it has been decided to give
a movement for memorial to Seaman A. Knapp, a
pioneer in work for the betterment of conditions in
the rural sections of the South. Its plans are for
scientific inquiry into the causes of defects, as well
training men and women equipped to grapple with
them.
As IS per cent of the people of the South live
in the country the importance of the proposed school
the nation as whole, well as to the South, can
be readily seen. And if it serves as a model for
others, it will have accomplished greater mis-
sion.
