HIGH TEAM WINS FROM BfMIDJI.
LOCALS ADD ANOTHER SCALP TO
LIST MAKING TOTAL OF s
WON AND q LOST

Bemidji high was the last victim Of
the local high school basketball team,
the local boys administering the up
state quint a defeat on the local floor
Tuesday evening by the score of "a to
II, in one Of the fastest games ever
witnessed here. Every member of
both teams was in the game from the
start and it was nip and tuck until
the finish. A big crowd witnessed the
game and did all in their power to
help the local boys to victory, by root
ing.
i Little Falls had the edge on the vis-
itors in basket-shooting but had a
large number Of fouls called on them
and the visitors did most of their
scoring on fouls, johnson, the Bemidji
free-throw star planting the ball in
the basket almost every time.
The first half ended in a tie Of 6
and 6, neither side scoring a point in
the last few minutes Of play of that
half. In the second half the locals
fought with more vigor, however, and
found the basket more readily. Be-
LANCER was disqualified in the middle
Of the second half after making four
personal fouls. One Of the Bemidji
boys made three.
It is believed that the outcome Of
this game will cause a three-cornered
fight for the district championship.
Bemidji and Little Falls have broken
even and Brainerd has defeated
both of them. Should Bem1aji win
from Brainerd in the return game
and if Little Falls defeats Brainerd,
as it hopes to do, all three teams will
have an equal chance. The committee
on athletics will probably have to de-
eide the question in such an event and
it is possible that the three teams
would have to play for high honors on
neutral floors. t+5f7 =

the country as the geographical dis tribution of the industry in question will permit. In order to prevent un- due expenditures for committees of this kind, the aggregate amount to be spent in any one year might be linn ited, perhaps to $50,000.
 Especially interesting in connection with the results of the voting on the referendum-the fourteenth out by the National Chamber-is the person. nel of the committee whose report was so unanimously endorsed The members, besides MT. Geier it's chair man, are: A. B. C.. Dohrman, of San Francisco; Maurice FeIs, of PhiladeI- phia; A. Lincoln Filene, of Boston, Charles Mccarthy, of Madison, Wis; c. A. Prosser, of Minneapolis; c. l..

 State Educational Development.
 It might be explained that it was the opinion of the special committee, as brought out in it's report, that With out government cooperation and the impetus which will come from federal appropriations, the states can them selves develop vocational education only very slowly. The industrial well fare of the country, however, demands all haste that is consistent with care The Federal Commission on National Aid to Vocational Education, appoint ed by the president in 1914, reported that only eight states had established systems of vocational education, and these systems have not yet reached one per cent. of the workers who need industrial training
 Only Financial Assistance Proposed.
 Although it urgently recommended federal aid in vocational education the committee made no suggestion that the government should do more than extend to the states is financial assistance and the encouragement which will flow from it's aprropria- tions and it's example. The adminis- tratiOn of the schools would remain wholly in the hands of the local au- thOrities and the instructors would be municipal or state employees and not federal employees.
 A canvass of the vocational edu- cation referendum vote will be made by the Executive Committee of the National Chamber, May 25.
New Britain herald., 1916-05-22

On the first recommendation of the eral appropriations for promotion of vocational education in the United States-the vote was 831 in favor and no opposed, each organization being entitled to from one to ten votes, ac- cording to it's membership.
 Tn order that the assistance of the federal government may be effective, it was said, a relation should be es- tablished between federal and state appropriations and provision should be made for federal administration for the part the United States should take. To this end the committees second mendation-that federal appropriations should be allotted among the states upon a uniform basis and should bear a uniform re- lation to appropriations made by the states for like purposes-was car ried by vote of BPS in favor as against 95 opposed.
 Creation of Federal Board Endorsed.
 In order that the government may have administrative. means of giving effect to any federal laws which may make appropriations for vocational education, and may have an instru-. mentality for consideration of the peculiar interest of the nation in vo-
