BIRTH OF FLORENCE.

HUNDRED YEARS AGO
May IL, 1920, Brought to the
World the Great Angel
of Mercy

One hundred years ago today there
was born in England little girl, who
was destined to become one of the
greatest women the world has ever
known-Florence Nightingale.
Up to 1850, nursing, as profess
sion for women, was not considered
respectable or highly honorable. The
one great aim of Florence Nightin-
gale was to dignity and elevate nurs-
ing as life work for women.
For this reason May 18th, her
birthday, is nationally celebrated
throughout the country. The pur-
pose of this celebration is to interest
Young women in the nursing profess
sion.

ADDITIONAL MILLS
RESUhINC ON
TM-H0UR BASIS
Strikers Quit and Peaceful
Everywhere; No change in
Local Conditions

The latest information from the
timber strike district shows that in
Michigan and Wisconsin in the por-
ton affected by the strike, saw mills
are cutting rs per cent normal out
put and are shipping "a per cent nor
NAL output. This percentage is based
on Monday, May 10th, cut and ship
ments, and since that time a number
of mills have resumed cutting. All
mills resuming operations are on a
ten-hour basis.
The camps have not been affected
in the strike district. Every where
the strikers are quiet and peaceful.
At Silverton, high school boys are
employed in loading cars. The Case
Lumber company at Donken, Mich,
resumed at 100 per cent output.
Eighty men are employed there. .
The Brown Lumber company at
Saxon, Wis, and the Schriss Lumber
company at Butternut reopened on
ten-hour basis.
The lumber mills at Strongs, Mich,
and Stevens Point, Wis.,, have re-
sumed cutting with full force on ten
hour shift.
Edward Hines stated there was abb
solutely no foundation for the report
of the Duluth News Tribune that the
operators were considering the eight
hour schedule.
Virginia mills continue to run full
day shifts and it is expected in the
very near future to resume one mill
on night shift.
Public sentiment as gathered over
the entire area is reported to be
against the reduction of output OF
lumber in view of the present acute
demand for it for building.
There is no change in the local
situation. Numbers Of men appear
around the mills each morning but
nothing whatever has changed either
in the attitude of the men or oper-
ators so far as is visible.

Ionaer Term of School Favored
-. by Board and Carried at
Regular Meeting
SPECIAL MEETING
ON THURSDAY NIGHT
Bo.rd Will Then Act ON Bond
Proposition for New
Building

Remidii is to have 1O-month
school period as result of the action
taken by the board of education OF
the Bemidji public schools at meet
ing held Tuesday night at the High
school building. This new term has
been under consideration by the
board for some time and last night
after much discussion it was voted to
establish the ten month school year.
= In addition to this action, discus
sion was held concerning the bonding
of the district for the construction OF
"A new building to house students In
the High school department. Both
the construction of new and sep
arate building to be located north
.of the Central school and the build
ing of an addition to the present
High school building were discussed
at length.
As a result of the straw ballot
which has been conducted by the
school board recently to ascertain as
near as possible which construction
was favored, by the citizens OF this
city. it was found that 40 favored
the construction of the separate
building and 80 favored the more
conservative plan of an addition to
sthe present structure: The board ap-
ypears also to favor the model strue-
ture to be erected in the Central
school block and it is believed that
a resolution for the larger bond issue
to cover the costs of construction OF
the separate structure will be passed
by the board at the special session
which has been called for Thursday
evening to consider the proposition
definitely.
- With the establishment Of a separ-
ate building on the Central school lot'
a model structure will be built to
care for the needs Of the increased
enrolment in the High school and
later when the Central building re-
quires replacing another structure
can be built in connection with the
school which is now planned. This
would give Bemidji very modern
High school. structure in the heart
of the residence district where the
location would be most convenient to
all.
