BOARD OF EDUCATION
present CONCLUSIONS
@9EGARDlNC new SCHOOL
AT, e duch Consideration by
Me- of Board Decision
Wax 9ched to Author
ize I'D Election

= After severaE months. of careful
consideration and study, also as
result of the straw vote, the Board
of Education came to the conclusion
that the wisest course to take would
be to authorize a bond election for a
new building.
All the possible methods of sOlv-
ing the problem have been gone over,
including the possibility of using
portable buildings. In the first place,
conditions where the need is greatest,
namely: Junior and senior high
school. A two-room portable build
ing for school fully equipped, would
cost $4,000 and at the best is only
temporary investment. The heat
ing problem in this cold climate is
serious proposition for such build
ing.
Our present High school building,
built for approximately 800 pupils Is
now trying to accommodate 600, be-
sides providing room for all the in
dustrial departments, which were not
taken into consideration when this
building was built.
The greatest need Of the schools
at the present time Is more room and
better equipment for the higher
grades. It Is true, the lower grades
are very much over crowded, but
the erection of a high school build
ing would relieve the first floor of
the present High school for lower
grades. Because of the shortage of
room and equipment, we are at the
present time giving only eighty
minutes per week in all industrial
departments. Homes Economics,
Agriculture, Manual Training, no.
thing in science or commercial train
ing for any of the Junior high
school students. In the Senior High
school only limited number OF stu
dents can take any of these subjects
on account of the lack of room.
If bonds are voted, thefboard with
the assistance of public opinion will
select the site. The board realizes
that this is not favorable time to
let building contract, but have in
mind the careful watching of labor
and material markets so that it may
be let at time when conditions are
most advantageous. 81
1t will be at least year before
money can be obtained from the
state and it is the intention of the
board to use the intervening time in
preparing plans and the necessary
arrangements for building.
We can obtain the money from the
state at per cent, which at the pre-
sent time is very low rate.

RUBY LEEr CHOSEN
PRETTET GIRL AT
PICTURE CONTEST
School Pictures Seen by Full
House Last Night; Show at
Lincoln School Tonight

A capacity house saw the pictures
of the Bemidji schools and students
at the t.ko theatre last night. The
pictures we're thoroughly enjoyed by
all, but most particularly by the
children themselves apparently, from
the expressions of amusement heard
from all parts of the house when
something of an amusing nature was
thrown on the screen.
The pictures showed very wildly
the great need of better quarters, par
ticularly in the Junior and Senior
departments of the High school. This
was demonstrated very strongly in
the assembly of the Junior High
department and in the Manual
training, and laboratory classes.
The beauty contest was one of the
most interesting features Of the en-
tire program. Miss Ruby Leet was
chosen as the prettiest girl by a
very large majority over her nearest
competitor, receiving over twenty-five
per cent Of the entire vote.
Those whose votes designated them
as entitled to special mention were
the following: Elizabeth Anderson,
Elsie Blackburn, Margaret Donovan,
Lottie French, Gladys Carney, Bor-
Child Johnson, Pearl Mclaughlin,
and Elsie Shannon. These names are
in alphabetical order and not in order
of votes cast for them.
The slides shown of some did not
seem to do them Justice and there
were many who were tied in votes.
Some of the girls whose pictures were
shown were not so we'll known in Be-
midi as others which also may &C.
count for the standing in votes.
The pictures will be shown at the
Lincoln school this evening at 1880
and $50 The admission charges
will be IS cents for adults and 10
cents for children. These are pictures
which should interest every parent
in the city and have already awak-
ened lively interest in school mat
tiers.

OPEN MEETING HELD
AT REX THEATRE BY
LOCAL TlMBERW0RKERS
E. Committees Met With Officials
Of Company Today But No
Decision Has Resulted

At a very orderly meeting at which
both sides of the case were given res
pectab1e hearing. the local timber
workers and those interested in the
present strike situation in Bemidji
heard the facts of the situation as
presented by both the workers and
the employers at the Rex theatre
last night.
Morris Kaplan clearly presented
the workers side of sthe situation,
giving out the facts which he knew
were of interest to both parties. E.
l.. Carpenter, president OF the Crooks
ton Lumber company, presented the
company's side of the case and was
respectfully heard by his audience.
C. NJ Booth, of the Timberworkers'
union, made short speech in behalf
of the men. stating that it was the
common feeling among them that the
eight-hour day must be established
before they are willing to return to
work. The situation presents itself
that the local organization of itself is
controlled entirely by the national
body and is unable to return to work
on the old basis and still retain its
charter.
A committee representing the
workers consisting Of c. C. Sievek,
president of the Bemidji local, George
Danielson and Charles Thompson, and
a. committee of local business men,
consisting of R. H. Schumacher, o. ].
Laqua and P. r. Peterson were ap-
pointed to meet with E. L. Carpenter,
E. H. Dea and C. L. listed this morn
ing. AS result of this meeting it
is reported that the situation still
remains the same as before, the men
are unwilling to return to work un-
less the eight-hour basis is granted
and the employers are still unwilling
to grant this request.
1t is reported that in the event the
men should return to work on the
ten-hour basis thereby disregarding
the strike order and lose their pre-
sent charter, that a new charter
could be applied for and secured lat

tional. The ruling was in the case
of coal operators and miners indicted
