SCHOOL BOARDS
ANNUAL MEET
Local Delegates Hear DR.. A
B. Caldwell Discuss School
Legislation at Session.

Benjamin S. Richards, Anton F
Kotchevar and DR.. Taito Ahola, men,
bers of the board of education of In
dependent School District No. u, were
in Duluth, Thursday, where they at
tended a meeting of the annual school
officers conference.
Many matters of import to districts
in the county were discussed. DR.. A
B. Caldwell, deputy commissioner OF
education, addressed the gathering and
praised the three legislative bills passed
at the last session of the legislature re-
lating to education.
He praised the grant of $4,000 for
transporting nonresident rural high
school boys and girls to school build
ings. He claimed this measure would
encourage more farm students to seek
higher education.
The continual teachers contract
which makes it necessary for the boards
and teachers in all districts outside OF
Duluth, Minneapolis and ST. Paul, to
give notice of new contracts by April
each year, was lauded by DR.. Cald-
well.
He also spoke on the authorization to
spend school funds on building up OF
recreation programs throughout the
state and labeled this lone of the great
advances of the last legislative session.
The teachers contract legislation, DR.
Caldwell stated, is a protection to the
teachers and school boards alike. It
gives teachers warning if they are to
be released, reduced in pay, or kept in
service and given higher wages.
Likewise it informs the boards
whether a teacher intends to remain
in service another year or plans to
retire. "It forces the school board to
make up its mind on whether it in
tends to keep a teacher or not" DR..
Caldwell said.
The speaker also pointed out that
another legislative measure limiting
the amount of income tax money which
can be used for school purposes to $40
per pupil, will result in the diversion
of about $750,0O0 to the state general
revenue fund this year which under
the old law would have been dis
tributed to the various schools in the
state.
Other speakers at the meeting were
Frank Mccormick, state university ply
steal education director; DR.. Carl Nord-
ley, professor of physical education of
the State University; Hugo Fisher, act
ing supervisor of health and physical
education department of the state.
They told the board members that the
new recreation programs will be major
developments in education fields during
1888 in Minnesota.
Mr.. Mccormick, in his talk, stated
that st. Louis county heads the nation
in rural school recreation.

A BUS BOY, NO.
Two Harbors ChrOniclel

Not bus boy at a Miami hotel but
a clever propagandist for the bandits
who have about bled the good people of
Miami white. Not bus boy but the
shadow of gangsterism fearful that his
game IS up in the south and looking
for new fields where suckers are born
every minute. Such is the author of
the plea for new lure for tourists in the
Arrowhead.
The great increase in population in
Miami, compared with the static con-
dition in Duluth, is held out as reason
for opening wide the Zenith City of the
Unsalted Seas which is just about to
come into its own as the result of con-
sistent, though not gigantic enough
campaign Of advertising over a period
of years. And after all bigness does not
mean thing in the happiness and
prosperity of all people. Bigness of city
has come in these days to mean a
bigger relief roll. The things which
these propagandists would introduce to
the Arrowhead country have but one ef-
fest-to abnormally increase that roll
Do you wish to bleed the tourist
through the medium of the roulette
wheel, the dog track or the ponies?
Or do We wish to give service for which
We will be well paid as we divide the
glorious bounties which nature has so
generously bestowed for all who come
to the Arrowhead country?
What has Miami, 200 feet above sea
level, got that we have not gotta Palm
trees and sand dunes. Sunshine But
Duluth has sunshine in summer not
surpassed by any place on earth and
sunrises and sunsets such as Miami
never sees.
Let us not be deceived by the claims
made that the diversions which are now
offered in Miami are what draws the
people there. The tourist came before
the roulette, the dog track or the race
horse. These things were just moved
in by an undesirable class which robs
not only the tourist but the resident of
any section which permits them. They
are tolerated in league with gangsters.
If roulette, dog races and ponies are
such drawing card, why didn't the
purveyors of these pleasures establish
them before the Arrowhead Association
got into the picture to advertise our
great blue waters, our waterfalls, sum-
mer comfort, invigorating climate and
wild life? No. They're not a drawing
card but drawback to real prosperity
after field has been built for them to
invade. There never was a bank clerk
sent up for embezzlement for looking
at the great ships riding the waves of
Lake Superior. Never did women weep
and children starve because a head of
household sat at the foot of water
fall casting for speckled trout. No
grocerynlan ever went bankrupt because
of credit losses from vacationists who
viewed beautiful sunsets. But go to any
community which has the casino and
the races as an attraction and you'll
find dissolution and despair.
More golf, tennis, boating, more music
and dancing, public landscaping. Yes.
A sincere expression Of friendship and
helpfulness on the part of every citi-
zen who should constitute himself
host to the visitors we invite. Yes.
Gambling in the form of roulette, craps,
slot machines, operating dog and horse
races for the prime purpose Of betting.

The movement for collecting
taxes monthly among the
people of the state seems to be
gaining momentum. How the
legislature would feel about it
is a question. In this matter,
taxes could be paid along with
your light bills or other
monthly obligations and you
would always be square" to
date. The belief is quite gen.
eral that more taxes would be
collected in this manner.

While our governor is hot
footing it between St. Paul and
Washington, seeking more
WPA funds for Minnesota, two
more Minneapolis concerns,
employing between 400 and
1900 persons are preparing to
move to Illinois, it is said. The
concerns pay out about a mil
lion a year in wages. The
demonstrating campaign dur
ing the last session of the legis-
lature by our quartet of gov
errors is bearing fruit. Sub
shutting WPA for regular jobs
is somewhat of an assininity.
