BOARD OF EDUCATION !" !
PLACES SCHOOL NEEDS
~. BEFORE CITIZENS
Straw Ballot Desired From
Voters as a Guide to the
: =. School Board :

In an oQVo8vOI " dS4OoIAAe S.eS
Citisens of Bemidji with the real sit
uation in the public and High school
bui1dings the school board of Bemtd-
il, has deemed 1t advisable to point
out some of the special problems that
confront them; and the methods they
contemplate using t. .E solve them:
Some time agse there appeared An the
Pioneer u summary nade BY, 6upt.
,Basby showing the crowded 'condt-
,tions, ana pointing ont the sshandtcap
resulting from these condit tons. The
following facts have been presented
by the board for the citizens INFORM
alton. 49,. ~ -, sa L y.
; !. Overcrowded Conditions, -.
..- Because Of the, overcrowded con
condition Of the schools and most
especially Of the Junior and Senior
departments Of the High school the
board of education consider It imper-
alive that additional room be pro
vided at the earliest possible time.
It is readily conceded that the
best that can be done for the chill
dren of our city is to give them train
ing for real living. -
; Vocational Facilities Insufficient.
In addition to the Overcrowded
condition there is not sufficient room
to give enough work in Science, Man
ual training, Physical, Training,
Home Training, Agriculture and
Commercial Training. The need and
demand for training in sucl depart
ments are many times greater today
than ever before. -.
The board n considering the advis-
ability, first, Of an addition to the
present. High school building which
would add about fifteen rooms and
would cost ABOUT $4,000 while the
second proposition is that OF building
a separate building on the school
grounds north of the Central build
ing on Beltrami avenue. Such q
building would house all Of the in
dustrial departments before mention
toned and in addition contain an
auditorium and gymnasium.
/ The board of education desire an
expression of opinion from the voters
which they favor before proceeding
with either--an addition or separ-
ate building.
The new building on the same
block north Of the Central school
would cost about $225,0OO and
would be more complete, having both
auditorium and gymnasium OF good
proportions. - -.
A ballot has been prepared to get
the, citizens opinions of the, two
propositions. It is desired that the
chniro ho ovnrassod on the ballot and
that it. be sent either to the Bemid5t
Pioneer office, the Bemidji Senti-
mel office or put in a ballot box in
any of the school buildings where
one will be placed for that purpose.
The need Of action to be taken
Immediately is most urgent and the
board of education is DESTROYS Of
carrying out the wishes Of the ma
jority OF the voters.
Women as we'll as men vote on all
school matters. Look on the back
page for the ballot.

Election as a Factor

The remark was made few days ago
in the boardroom of one of the uptown
commission houses that the market
seemed to be wholly Indifferent to do

be the first time in my recollection that

willing to make wager that from now

''Some seem to think it is going to be
one sided race and that Senator
Harding will be elected by wide ma :
jority. You are going to wake some
Of these fine mornings and have a real
old fashioned political scare staring you
right in the face. 1t is part of the
business of the politicians to dig up this
ghost every four years. more especially
when campaign contributions are coming
in slowly. Money talks as much in pol
itics as in anything else
with election approximately only
nine weeks away, there will be plenty of
time to work up one of the old time
market chills from the presidential
quarter. In fact, while money is mo-
nopolizing much of the gray matter
these days, am certain you will find
the market community not so indif
ferent to political developments as they
make out to be"

eral Education Board of New York city

We do not merely plan to complete
our fund with this very generous and
substantial gift" declared Mr.. Stokes.
I'VE intend that the college shall re-
ceive this over and above the $500 900
we set out to get.
Our workers have now had two
months rest. In September and Oc-
tober we plan to finish up the work.
Some time in October we are going to
ask our friends and neighbors to help
us, but at present we are concentrat-
ing our efforts among our alumni. as
we believe they should do their part
before we ask any one else.''
The Oldest class at Haverford now
leads in percentage of subscriptions.
Three members Of the class of 1854 are
now living, and two of the three have
subscribed. giving the class a percent =
