Grand Forks, May 1S.-North Da-

lishment of a deep waterway from

mission here today on the proposed
project. f.
-. DR.. Ladd will point out that these
two industries have been hindered
because Of difficult and slow trans
portation. The present system OF
shipping, he states, has resulted, too,
in the present alarming car shortage
an din past years great losses to
farmers, especially in their potato
crops. 1t takes car, it is said, on
an average Of three days to get from
this state to New York terminal and
return, whereas 1t takes but four
days to go to Duluth and return.

CONSOLIDATED PLAN
FOR NEBlSH SCHOOLS
HAS BEEN APPROVED
Commissioner OConnell Ad-
vises That Districts Delay
Consolidation for Present

The plat for the proposed consoli-
dation of districts No. 80 and 14O, at
Nebish, has been approved by Com
missioner of Education OConnell,
who recommends that the new dis
trict continue the old order or things
aud not fyaS.sempt to meet, consolida-
ton Requirements at this time, with
the present cost of building, and the
low assessed valuation of the dis
tricts County Superintendent j. c.
McGhee advises districts not to con-
solidate with an assessed valuation
of less than 100000 for two-room
school and then levy ten mill tax
for a building fund two or three
years before building in order that
taxes may not become burden to
the people. There is no doubt about
the value of the consolidated school
and the time is coming when the
one-room school must give place to
the larger and better school.
Beltrami has in operation. this
year, the following consolidated
schools:
Semi-grade-Carr Lake, Woodrow,
Solway, Spur and Debs.
Grade-Hines, Tenstrike, Saum,
Williams, Kelliher and Spooner.
High-Blackduck and Bemidji.
Kelliher and Spooner do the full
high school work, but are not &C
credited high schools as neither has
the required number of high school
pupils.
Beltrami county continues to0lead
the state in the number of CONSOLE
dated schools; Spooner and Woodrow
having been added during this school
year. District No. 40 has voted
bonds and will build as soon as mon
ey can be secured from the state.
There are those who oppose con-
solidated schools on account of the
higher cost, but the majority who
have tried these schools are willing
to pay more because they realize
that the children have better educa-
tional opportunities in modern and
sanitary buildings. AS a general
rule, these schools provide longer
terms, with better trained and more
efficient teachers, and larger total
days of attendance for the average
pupil, thus preparing more pupils for
the higher institutions of learning.

With Aid of Game Wardens
Munich and Mcbride, Cline
Makes Distribution
ALL APPLICATIONS
WERE FILLED PROMPTLY
Superintendent Surber of Be.
midi Hatchery Is Expert
in Matching Line

Walleyed pike fry from the Be-
midi hatchery has been distributed
during the past five days under the
direction of Game Warden John Cline
with the assistance of Game Wardens
William Munich of Crookston and
A. M. Mcbride of Walker. The dis
tribution of the fry this year covers
more applications than in any previ-
Gus year. Fishing clubs in all towns
and cities where there are lakes ad-
jacent have been very active and
much interest has been shown.
Adjacent Lakes Supplied.
Lake Bemidji, Cass Lake and lakes
tributary have been restocked from
this years fry. The hatchery is a
decided success this year since it has
been made larger and better equip
ment has been added. The state has
been very fortunate in securing the
services of as capable a man as Su-
perintendent Surber Of the Bemidji
hatchery. He has spent many years
in federal service in fish and game
work and is thoroughly experienced
in fish Matching. To him is due great
credit for the management of the
work accomplished this spring.
Larger Supply Next Year.
Under the direction of Warden
Cline, assisted by Munich and Nc
Bride, the distribution of fry has
been very successfully carried out.
All applicants for fry have met the
trains as agreed and have lost no
time in making the deliveries to the
lakes, consequently there has been
no loss whatsoever in pike fry for the
hatchery. 1t is expected that all the
fry will be distributed by Saturday,
May %, after which the hatchery
will be closed until next spring.
Carlos Avery, state game and fish
commissioner for Minnesota, EXPECTS
to hatch a larger amount of fry here
next year as spawn will be secured
from farther down in the narrows of
Wolf lake.
Advantage to Tourists.
AS an advantage to tourists visit
ing this section which has been amply
restocked with pike, the distribution
Of the fry is very important drawing
card. With lakes and stream abound
ing with fish aplenty, tourists and
campers for the summer will natur-
ally be attracted to this vicinity.
Outside Distribution.
Not only has the local hatchery
furnished a supply of fry for the
neighboring lakes, but it has also
turned out sufficient to fill all ap-
plications which have been received
from other parts. In all cases the
applications have been filled prompt
ly and shipment made at once. APP
proximately $50 million fry were
Matched in the Bemidji hatchery this
spring and through the efficient man.
agement Of Superintendent Surber
none have been lost. Another year
Bemidji's record will be even better
with the increase in the facilities of
the plant which are being planned.

Education Bears Light.

Any City, characterized by Robert
.Naylor, considered cutting the school
allowance since he believed that Dy
doing so and allowing the other city
expenditures there would be no COM
plants made. Education, portrayed
by Miss Gloyd Snow, was the bearer
of the light which accompanied Any
City through methods of the past
and present and of the possible fut-
ure in conducting public school sys-
tens. BY witnessing scenes OF var
ious ages, including the primitive, co
.lonial and modern times, Any City
becomes thoroughly convinced that
the school appropriations should new
ter be cut one penny.
Schools Portrayed.
The we'll regulated school room
furnished with modern equipment
such as is in existence in many COM
munities today was we'll portrayed In
i the ninth Glimmer, with Miss Lena
. Munson as teacher of Sixth grade
students. In the Tenth Glfmmer was
shown a school room at is appears in
some communities today and may
possibly appear in many more places
if the proper support should not be
given the school. Hubbub reigned
supreme and because of lack OF sufl-
cient salary the teacher, as character
lied by Miss Grace Blomberg, took
little interest in the pupils welfare.
The school of colonial days was pre-
sent in the eighth Glimmer with
Miss Thelma Bowser as teacher. In
this scene force was used to urge the
students to learn and many penalties
were handed out by the teacher who
used little Judgment regarding her
pupils. The school room scenes were
very we'll presented and each served
to bring the desired attention to
those present to the conditions OF
the past, present and future
Education S Dream
In the eleventh Glimmer, Educa-
tons dream was presented by huge
professional in which the Central,
Lincoln, East and North schools were
represented in addition to each de-
'partment of the Junior High school
and High schools. The professional
met with hearty applause and was
we'll carried out by even the little
'"tots" who perhaps had never ap-
~peared on the stage in public before.
Among those representing. the North
school were the smallest and young
est pupils in the whole professional
and each carried out his or her part
very we'll:
As a finale, human flag was stag
ed by approximately 200 pupils OF
various ages. This arrangement
showed clever planning. While the
flag was being displayed, The Star
.Spangled Banner was sung. Through
out the entire pageant, elaborate cos
tunes added greatly to the effect OF
the production.
Performance Tonight.
This stupendous production which
was attempted and then given up
by many larger schools under more
favorable conditions under which 1t
might be produced, was presented
again at a social matinee this after
:: noon at 2:3O. The final production
: will take place at the Grand tonight
at 8 o'clock and it is especially judged
that everyone interested in school
work in any way come out to see the
children put on a performance which
is worthy of hearty support.

schools at the Grand theatre last
evening made a decided hit with
these who attended. Throughout
the play showed remarkable planning

short period of practice, the produc-
tion was staged without apparent
flaw although the conditions under
which it was presented were not al
together promising.
