BElMIDU IS FACING
SERIOUS PROBLEM IN

Supt. Bolcom Urges All Who

Relieve Congestion

One of the most important prob
lens that Bemidji is facing at the
present time is that of suitable rooms
for the teachers Of the public schools,
who are now arriving and have been

possible for teachers to be accom-
modated in the homes of Bemidji as
they always have heretofore and sew
eral are becoming discouraged.
This is the view held by Superin-
tendent Bolcom of the schools and
he is exerting every possible effort
to secure rooms for the teachers who
have come to instruct the youth of
Bemidji. He states the corps of
teachers for this year is splendid,
every one of exceptional calibre and
ability, and is decidedly discourage
ing matter to obtain suitable quar-
ters for them.
If there are any families or house
holders who can possibly relieve the
congestion temporarily, until the
normal dormitory is built, they
would confer gre at favor upon the
public school authorities and the
city of Bemidji, as we'll as CO.
operate with the future welfare Of
the children of the city. ! =,
