Several hundred children enrolled
in the various departments of the Be-
midi schools this morning and each
we're told exactly what their work
for the school term would be. Shortly
after the gongs> in the High school
building announced that school was
called Miss Eliza Loe made a short
speech of welcome: to the freshmen
who are entering the High school
and to the new students who have en-
rolled for the first time in the Bemid-
j schools. Miss Loe's talk was
directed almost entirely to the fresh
men. Her main object appeared to
impress upon them: the value of a
High school education and that they
would never regret the four short
years they spend in completing their
education. 49,
This is the"fourth year Miss Loe
has acted as principal Of the Bemid1i
High school and the present Seniors
are now passing through their fourth
year of training under her supervis-
ion. More students have reached the
Senior year this term than in former
years and under her management the
school has shown a great deal of de-
velopment. This term promises to be
the most successful of any schoo,
year in the history of the Bemid ii
schools. More students have en-
rolled than in former years and the
best instructors that could possibly
De secured have been engaged to d.
rect the work Of the students.
Carefully laid plans have been
made to make the work interesting to
the students and If each pupil enters
Into the plans which have been ar
ranged for their benefit the results of
the years work will be equal to any
in the state.
Shortly after Miss Loe addressed
the students, Professor Dyer outlined
the course to be followed and endeav-
ored to impress upon the students
that they had a serious proposition
before them which they did not ap-
pear to. realize on entering High
school. .-
. "Your High school career is an ex-
ample of what you will attain in fu-
ture years, and I wish to impress
upon You that when selecting your
studies for the year and the course
which you wish to follow, do not pick
the ones which you think are the
easiest, but select the studies which
will be of the greatest benefit to you
after you leave High school," said
Mr.. Dyer. .~
He also outlined the course for the
present term and recommended the
Normal department to those who
wished to prepare for a temporary
position after leaving high school
Another course which the instructors
believe will be taken advantage of by
the majority of seniors who are not
planning on attending colleges is q
complete course in Commercial work
Not only will the Seniors be allowed
to take this course, but any student
In the city over the age of eighteen
years who would prefer studying al
home instead of attending a CONNER
cial college. With the present equip
ment and advantage offered by this
department Mr.. Dyer believes that
this course is equal in every respect
to any offers, which a business col.
lege might make. This department
is instructed by Miss Mable Wage,
who Is thoroughly experienced il
