The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1918-08-10

of Duluth. Then there will be a SET
rotary, stenographer and office.
Aliens at all the plants will be reg
jstered. With the superintendent of
the respective plants, this expert Sec
rotary will tell the aliens what OPP
portunities they are offered by the
night school classes.
This plan has been suggested by
the immigration agent at Washing
ton. It has been tried successfully
in a couple of the larger cities. In
Duluth it will boom the night schools
and night schools are Supt. Hoke's
strongest trench in school work.
The Americanization committee of
the club, it was explained, expects to
raise $1,000 and, therefore, asked
the board of education to share the
expense 'of the plan.
Director Firoved had not been told
about the sine qua non as city at
torney SamueIson might term it, and
therefore did not feel himself prop
erly in a position to know what he
favored. He said that, personally,
he was not much in favor of partner
ships with city, county or CONNER
cial clubs. D..
Director Armand wanted to know
why this plan and other innovations,
movements or special matters of
business always had to come up at
the very last minute. He felt that
the board members should have at
least a couple of days notice and
proper information concerning such
matters.
DR.. Annand's remarks made hit
with fair-minded members of the
board and such commoners as were
present.
The proposition, as recommended,
was endorsed and adopted. ~.
Business superintendent Harwood
was instructed to look into the mad
equate heating facilities at the Nor
gan Park school.
AS his tribute to the last meeting
of the board of 1918, director
Amundson called attention . to
charges, hints, insinuations, etc., in
the daily papers during the late
school campaign, as to the nefarious
and wicked work of text book agents
in favor of the Bolsheviki ticket and
against the Autocrats, which also
meant the much-harassed Hoke.
The Autocrats had no desire to
have that DOGGY get out of the closet
and frolic before the public. Mr..
Amundson's desire for an impartial
investigation was frosted and frosted
well.
Director LeDuc, whip for the Au-
tocrats, declared that Mr.. Amund-
sons idea was child's play and that
he should go before the grand jury
if he wished an investigation.
Director Foster declared that
newspaper criticism was interesting
and amusing. He thought that the
Nightmares of Bingham, Mitchell,
Davis and Strong ought not to be
seriously considered, so far as the
newspapers were concerned.
Director Firoved referred to d.
rector Davis column interview in the
News Tribune in which she insinu-
ated that book agents took hand in
the election a year ago'and that some
of the Bolsheviki members were
elected by help of those bad Indians.
He wanted to hear from director Da-
Wis.
Director Davis jumped, onto a
young woman named Chambers who
was accused of taking hand in. the
recent campaign and whose name
and person apparently are anathema
to the kindly lady from the East End.
She declared that she knew of two
book agents being here last winter.
She also stated that what she meant
for an article to be printed in the
Opinions of Others" in the News
Tribune, was stretched into an in.
terview and given big headlines,
much to her displeasure.
Director Brewer also seemed to
favor keeping the skeleton in it's
closet. He thought it useless to fol-
low up insinuations. He accused the
Rip-saw scribe of dealing in insinua-
lions, although that humble MEM
Der of society always has felt that he
was amply specific In his references
to Bro Brewers means and meth
DDS.
Director McGiffert drew on his
Establishments to declare that he did
not believe that any director be-
lieved that text book agents influ-
eaced anyone in the recent election.
Director Davis then read an elo-
quent and touching tribut to director
Brewer at his time of retirement
after long service on the board and
moved it's adoption as, a resolution.
Director LeDuch. expressed graft
tude for Mr.. Brewers coaching
through the past year and supported
the resolution. 1t was adopted by a
unanimous vote.
The old board then adjourned sine
die. .-~. g.
