The purchase of necessary appli- ances and equipment for the install- ation of a domestic science course in the Bemidji high school, to cost not over $1,000, was ordered last evening at a meeting of the school board of this district. W. P. Dyer of Alexandria, who is to succeed A. P. Ritchie as superintendant of the Bemidji public schools, was in- structed by the board to purchase this equipment, the estimated cost of which was $800. Professor Dyer will move to Be- midji at the close of the present term at Alexandria and will bring his family to this city. He comes wellrecommended by state educators. Mr. Dyer has charge of the summer school at Brainerd this year and will commence June 20. At the close of the session Mr. Dyer will return to Bemidji and superintend the installation of the gas plant, which is to be built underground and outside of the building with pipes carrying the gas into the’ high school laboratories. The appointment of teachers for the ensuing year was taken up, and it was noticeable that a majority of the present instructors have declined to return to this city. Professor Dyer was authorized to engage an extra teacher to assist in the seventh and eighth grades, whose salary shall not exceed $60 per month.

The action of the street com- missioner in tearing up the side- walk in front of the Central school building, between Minnesota and Beltrami avenues, which it was said was done without the consent of the board, was roundly censured by the members at last evening’s meet- ing. The board signified its inten- tion to be present at the next meet- ing of the city council to ascertain why this action was taken without consultation with any members of the school board and without orders to build a cement walk in place of the board ones. The board feels that they would rather contract for Ruthton, T the construction of the cement walk along Eight street than to have the city order the work done under a city contract. T. S. Andrews was appointed a committee of one to see that the lumber from the sidewalk which is being torn up by the street commis- sioner be placed in the rear of the school house. The city was asked to clear up American avenue in the following resolution, which was passed by the board: “Whereas America avenue in front of the high school building is now, and for a long time past has been, obstructed with old wagons, wood- racks, lumber and other articles to such an extent that such obstruc- tions are a detriment to the appear- ance of the high school building and that neighborhood. “Therefore, be it resolved, that the city council be requested to| have such obstructions removed, and that the city council be requested to | instruct its street commissioner to see that said street remain unob- structed. “Resolved further, that the clerk of the board furnish the city council with a copy of this resolution.” The use of the high school build- ing was granted to the Bemidji sum- mer school, of which Mr. Ritchie will have charge. !

New York, May 13.—The biggest ship in the American navy slid off the ways at the New York navyyard when the battleship Florida dropped into the water. Later on, when the Arkansas and the Wyoming, now under con- struction, are afloat they will exceed the Florida in size by 3,000 tons, a difference sufficient to make a pretty 800d little liner in itself. The Florida herself is by no means finished, for, as she went off the ways, she was only about 60 per cent advanced to- wards completion, which means fll‘x she was not much more than a v empty hull and still awaits all of she -thousand boilers and main and sec ondary engines and armor aad equip- ment that go to make up the ship ready. for commission, | e e e ?
