Enrolment This Year
CLASSES WELL ARRANGED
DESPITE BUILDING LOSS
Manual Training and Domestic
Science Work Limited to
Senior High School

Since the opening of the graded
schools and the Junior department
of the high school on Tuesday. and
the opening of the senior high school
department on Wednesday, the en-
rollment indicates that there will be
a much larger number of pupils in
attendance this year than last. De-
spite the fact that Bemidji has no
high school building arrangement is
have been made SO that it appears
as if the pupils will advance in their
work as, well as could possibly be
expected under the conditions.
Senior and Junior high school as
semblies are being held in the audit
orium of the Methodist church, while
classes for the senior department are
being held in the Central building,
the public library, the City building,
and in the CrookstOn Lumber COM
pany reading rooms. Manual train
ing classes are being held at the
Central school, While the reading
rooms are being used for agricul-
ture and mechanical drawing.
The junior department classes are
being held at the Central and Lin
coin buildings. Manual training and
domestic science are not included in
the course offered Junior high school
students this year, consequently only
one teacher for each subject is on
the faculty this year, in place OF two
for each subject last year. The junior
department still lacks a history
teacher, but Miss Ethelyn Hall, prin-
cipal. reports that one will be ready
for duty about the first Of next week
Three junior department teachers

JUVENILE BAND TO GET
! DOWN TO WORK AGAIN
Director Riggs Returns From
Vacation; Announces Band
Practice Friday Night

C. Oliver Riggs, director of the
Bemidii Municipal band, returned
fro ma months vacation at Mus
catine, Ia, and other points and an
nounces a rehearsal for the Juvenile
band Friday. night in the Bemidji
association rooms at 1880 p. m.
En- route Mr.. Riggs conferred with
the state fair board with reference
to the possibility of having the Juve-
nile band appear at the state fair
next year he said. He stated that the
outlook was very encouraging and
in his opinion the proposition can be
put over. A boys band from White
Bear was in attendance at the fair
this year with about forty pieces,
and a girls band from Faribault was
also playing in one of the buildings,
Mr.. Riggs is more enthusiastic
over Bemidji every time he goes
away and returns he says. "A man
can't be away more than couple OF
weeks or he almost loses track of
what is going on. Conditions are a
little better in Bemidji than any
where else" he stated. The corn crop
iii Iowa is immense but the grain
is not so good, according to his re-
port.
The boys will get down to hard
practice in the near future and a
FINISHED band may foe looked for
next year.

COUNTY BOARD SELLS
COUNTY ROAD BONDS
Deepening and Widening of
Outlet of Rapid River
Being Considered

Rcfundment bonds to the amount
of $4,000 were sold by the Board of
County Commissioners, now in ses-
sion, to E. II. Rollins & Son of Chi
cago at par plus a premium of $500.
These bonds represent the amount of
work done roads in the south of
the county which are included in the
Babcock system and therefore become
a liability of the state. The bonds
will be paid by the state when due.
The money has been expended from
the county road and bridge fund and
the proceeds of the sale Of the bonds
will be used to reimburse this county
fund.
There will also be a further sale of
$4,000 later, to reimburse the coun-
ty for money spent on roads included
in the Babcock system on the north
end of the county. The $50, 900 was
expended on the Cass Lake to Solway
highway, known as trunk road No. 8.
Action was also recommended by
the commissioners on investigation OF
the outlet of the Rapid river. Com
plant has been made that the out
let of the Rapid river is not sutfi-
GENTLY wide or deep to take care OF
the flow of water into it from natural
sources and the bitches which now
empty into it, by reason of which
much of the land is not properly
drained. The matter of deepening
and widening the outlet of the river
will be considered.
