ELY CLUB PLANS
JIU-JITSU SHOW
Boys Fidelity Club to Present
Prof. Takahashi, Worlds
Champion, April IL.

Professor TakahaShi, graduate of To-
Ogijuhu College in Japan, doctor of
judo, D. Phi. and Bachelor of Law, for
the past twenty years internationally
famous police instructor and at present
teaching the state highway patrol, state
bureau of criminal apprehension, Hen
nepin county sheriff force, Minneapolis
police, st. Paul and Minneapolis Ath-
letic club, Womanis club, 135th infantry,
National Guard, R. o. T. c., Fort Shell
ing, and in his own gymnasium at the
Curtis hotel, Minneapolis, will demon
Strate the gentle art of Jiu-JitSu here,
Tuesday, April II, at the Community
Center auditorium, under the auspices
of the Boys Fidelity club of this city.
A copy of the Minnesota Police associ-
alton magazine, says:
although he weighs a mere 1875
pounds, Professor S. TakahaShi, voluble,
good-natured, bespectacled japanese
Jiu-Jitsu expert, is not an Oriental to
be tempered with, as many police Off
GERS throughout the United States will
verify"
Jiu-jitsu, as the dictionary defines it,
is an ancient japanese system. It's an
educational sport in Japan and is
known as the most scientific method of
self-defense and offense. The name
itself explains the nature of the science
Jiu means gentle or soft; jitsu means
trick. Hence, jiu-jitSu means a science
of gentle tricks and S. Takahashi is one
of the greatest opponents of this ancient
art.
CHANGING through his Scrapbook, we
notice that he has been up against
some of the country's topnotch wrestlers
and boxers, besides teaching in some Sc
police departments throughout 43
county sheriff offices, army, navy, and
in most of the country's leading uni
versities.
The secret of the jiu-jitsu style,
says the little japanese, who looks more
like scholar than a grunter, is the
application of pressure on any number
Of nerve centers throughout the bodily.
Jiu-jitSu is especially adaptable for
the use of the weak against the strong.
The young men of the Fidelity club
are dispoSing Of tickets in large num-
bers and promise an evening of rare
entertainment for all.

SCHOOL HEADS
PROTEST BILL
"65 Per Cent of School Budget
for Instruction" Measure is
New School Headache.

Superintendent Stanley Adkins, with
Directors Ivan Tauzel and John Drag
avon and Clerk Henry Berg of School
District No. II were in Virginia, Friday,
to attend a meeting of school officials
on the Amen WahlStrand bill, now be-
fore the legislature, which provides for
the amount of school funds which must
be expended for educational purposes
At the meeting the subject was dis
cuSsed from every angle and the opinion
seemed to prevail among the school
men present that IS per cent Of the
educational fund for instruction was
rubbing it in. Many items are being
charged to education at present which
would be deleted from the budgets if
the new law went into effect.
1t seems that transportation, janitor
and ground service is at present in
cluded in the amount budgeted for edu-
cation and the bill proposes to cut this
out as not being essential to education
but should be charged to upkeep along
with buildings and other activities in
cident to the maintenance of schools.
In consequence of the meeting at Vir-
ginia, Friday, in which officials of the
range schools participated, a COM
mittee was named to go to st. Paul on
Monday to confer with the state board
of education on the provisions of the
bill. The committee named was COM
posed of Leslie j. Tobin, Eveleth; John
G. Brandt. Virginia; Henry Berg, Ely,
and Earl Keene, Hibbing.
The committee was instructed to
ascertain what is TO be included under

cans who voted for Hjalmar
Petersen for governor on the
Farmer-Labor ticket will prob
ably hail with glee the fact
that Petersen has been inter
viewing Jim Farley regarding
