TEN CENTS PER WEEK MANY SCHOOLS AFTER STATE APPROPRIATION Over Sixty Schools Would Like to Re- ceive One of the Twenty $2,500 Appropriations. BEMIDJI MAKES APPLICATION Delegation From Bemidji to Attend Meeting of State High School Board in St. Paul Tomorrow. Word has been received by W. P. Dyer, superintendent of the Bemidji ‘that will be more than 60 applica- tions from high schools of the state the Bemidji high school being one of them, for the twenty $2,500 appropri- {ations which the recent legislature | voted to give high schools to aid them in the maintenance of an agri- cultural department in connection with the high school work. As has been stated in the Daily Pioneer, the Bemidji Board of Edu- cation and the Commercial club will both send delegates to be present at the meeting of the State High School Board, which will be held in | the State Capitol in St. Paul tomor- row morning, this board having the authority to designate the twenty | schools which will be given the ap- propriations. Superintendent Dyer is today busy | preparing a written statement, which wlil be read to the state board, which in effect is to explain to that body the present industrial advantages in operation in the Bemidji high school, and other reasons why this- city should be seriously considered in the selection of the proper places for the appropriations to be designated. It is understood that the State Board will hear the arguments of the delegations from the cities who wish to obtain one of the schools, in Con- gressional order, which means that the Bemidji district, the Ninth, will | be the last to be heard. There are eleven applications in this district, they being, Bemidji, Thief River Falls, Argyle, Detroit, Fergus Falls, Fertile, Halstad, Red Lake Falls, and ‘Warren. Of these 4 have had small agricul- tural departments in conection with their school work for several years, Roseau, Stevens which doubtless will be an induce- ment, which the board will not over- look. Another fact which may result in | Bemidji losing one of the appropri- ations is that this city is not con- sidered to be in an agricultural com- munity, and for that reason does not need one of the departments. This, in the eyes of many, is just the reason why this city should receive the aid, as it will help to extend the | agricultural possibilities of this | country. ORGANIZE GLUB TONIGHT Bemidji Automobile Owners to Boost for Better Roads. At 8 o’clock this evening in the Commercial Club rooms there will be a meeting of all owners of auto- mobiles in Bemidji, for the fiurpase lof organizing an automobile club. The plan for the establishment of a club in this city has long been un- der way, and only the determination of those who are pushing the idea, to start the club out in the best possible manner has been the cause of it not I having been organized long ago. By-laws have been drawn up, as |have the resolutions, and they are very likely to be accepted as they now stand. Officers will also be elected this evening. The Bemidji club will, as soon as it has become organized, join the State Automobile association, which has as its main purpose, the estab- lishment and maintenance of good roads in the state.
