High School

Superintendent j. c.. West of the
Bemidji public schools has announced
the opening of the schools for Sep
TENDER 9th, with "a new faces in the
teaching corps and three more to be
selected, which may not be done I'M
til the sessions open.
The plan for the housing of the
classes/will be somewhat changed
from last year. There will be a
double shift of classes in the central
building for the grades, one session
being from $3.50 to 1890, and the
other from 1880 to $40, thus enab-
ling all grades to be cared for in the
central building. The teachers will be
quartered in one room with desks
for each, where they will spend their
hours while not actually teaching.
This will eliminate holding any Of
the rooms idle for class instruction.
The high school will be housed in
the library building, city hall and
Crookston reading rooms. The aca-
dcmic studies will be given in the
library, the commercial department
in the city hall and the manual train
ing classes in the reading rooms. The
churches used for school purposes
last year will not be used this year
if present plans of the board work
out satisfactorily.
A saving of approximately $500
will be made if the plan is put into
effect and also will give the students
better studying conditions. The low
er grades willie ip no wass;neg)ected
and the studying hours Of the stu
dents will be maintained as before as
far as is possible.
