Dedication Ceremonies On

From Staff in Spring
FIVE ARE SCHEDULED
TO GRADUATE IN JUNE
:.
Entered Bemidji Normal With
Credits From Other Nor
mails in State -

One of the shortcomings Of the
Normal school in Bemidji,' was the
lack of a flag and the faculty and stu
dents haye ':chipped in, and bought
a handsome emblem, which they will
hang in the assembly room tomorrow
with all due ceremony and dedication
services. Later, a flag staff will be
erected in the grounds surrounding
the main building and from it will be
flung the flag.
The children's department, includ-
ing the kindergarten and four grades,
are largely attended. In fact they
have been more applications than
there was room for; and, the grades
are doing excellent work. The latest
and best ideas and practices have
been introduced and the faculty is
interested in making this most
practical feature
Five Graduate in June.
Among the student enrolment
there are five! who are prospective
graduates next June, they entered the
Bemidji normal with advanced stand
|ings obtained at other normaIs. The
Bemidji normal is giving a regular
four year high school course, with ad-
ditional teachers. in training work,
which leads to the normal diploma,
emitting the holder to teach in any
elementary school in the state.
Graduates from the high school can
complete the course in two years and
then be eligible to teach in any ele-
mentary school in Minnesota.
Several additions to the equipment
of the main building rooms have been
installed and the class rooms present
a fine appearance. In the spring the
grounds will be improved with lawn
and ornamental gardens, under plans
drawn by the state architect.
Dormitory Progressing.
Work. on the new dormitory is pro-
crossing rapidly and it is hoped by
the contractor that the structure will
be enclosed by Thanksgiving day and
the interior will be ready for occup-
ancy at the June summer term next
year. Already several inquiries have
been received concerning the term
next summer.
President Deputy of the school is
finding his time stretched to capa-
city. At the Park Rapids fair last
Saturday Mr.. Deputy spoke on "Es-
sentials for Good Americanism." and
its application to the schools. On Oc-
;tober 80, he will address the North
western Educational association at
:Crookston, having received an invi-
tation to make an address.
