DYER TELLS PUPILS OF OPPORTUNITIES Superintendent Addresses Students Explaining Relation to Community Welfare—Two Objects in View ENCOURAGES WORK AND SAVING Relates Manner In Which Public at|~ Large May Take Advantage of Various School Departments That a high school is closely con- nected with the progress of its res- pective community was evidenced in an address given by W. P, Dyer, su- perintendent of the Bemidji schools, before the high school students yes- terday. chief were brought out as examples by the su- perintendent. First, that contrary to the ideas of many in which it is claimed that high school students are not prepared to meet with the problems of life' following gradua- tion, they are given a prelimenary experience of practical nature which is of much value, and second, that a student is given the opportunity of trying out the various studies taught and in this manner gains knowledge as to just what his market value is worth, to find out whether he can by taking up some certain business make good. Whether it be in agri- culture, carpentry. chemistry, elec- tricity, engineering, sewing, writing or along commercial lines, the sta- dent can thus measure his ability. Encourages Saving That whatever money a student might make by work done outside of school, or by some that might be done during school hours, should not be spent foolishly, but should ibe placed to the credit of a savings account, was advocated by Mr. Dyer. He told the students that money saved in this manner could at some later period be used in furthering education or in establishing some business. Not this alone, however, for it taught a student the lesson of work., and also that of saving, two things which pave the way to real success. Two objects Manual Training. ~. That the public in general was in- vited to make use of the manual training department was brought oute by Mr. Dyer. For instance where a certain job, suppose it to be that of building a small shelf in some home, was to be done and no carpenter could be secured, a pupil of the manual training class could be secured. The work could be done for merely the price of the lumber and the'lad paid some small amount. .\Vlm'o a sleeve board, ironing board, screens frame or quilting frames were needed, a person by visiting the department could secure the wanted article. Students could build chick- en coops and repair furniture, and at a cost of only the material and time. An Aid To Farmers That the agricultural department is a direct.aid to the farmers of the community was made plain. A Afarmer can have his milk tested or he may wish to test the seed value of some corn. By asking the aid of the agricultural class this advice can be obtained. Information re- garding a proper. method for plan- ning crop rotation could always be given to progressive tillers of ihe soil. “Just in these ways are we teaching to the public that our ischool is of community value,” said Mr. Dyer. Just recently a large bin was needed at the school building to store some grain, Four boys were se- lected from the manual training class to do the work. One of them was appointed foreman, and the work was all done outside of school hours. They were paid at fifteen cents an hour, Some Classy Cooks Then there is the cooking class which has for its use hundreds of tried-out recipes.That the public mended by the superintendent. Mr. Dyer explained that it is the desire ito make the domestic science de- partment as helpful to housewives as possible. be given special dishes could be pre- pared by the cooking class girls, such as timbale cases, saratoga chips. sal- ads and cakes. ing.

MAFRIED-AND HAVE ACUTE LWL \T= BUT wouLo atneo | Ay, JEACHER ENJD ; WANT NIGHT TRAIN ONGREATNORTHERN Bervice to Twin Cities SEVERAL REASONS Commercial Clubs of Various Places Pughing Movement and Change Would' Prove Financial Gain ” Restdents of the cities through which the Great Northern railroad operates, between Bemidji and Sauk Centre, have signed a petition, which will be forwarded tto the company of- ficials in the near future, requesting that a night train to the twin cities ibe provided. < ‘Commercial clubs of Bemidji, Cass Lake, Akeley, Park Rapids, Wadena ang other cities between here and Sauk Centre are taking an active in- terest in the securing of the new ser- vice and it is expected that the re- quest will be granted, should the railroad see a possible way in which to do so. It-is the desire of the committee that as many as possible sign the pe- tition: A Few Reasons Several of the reasons for the change as laid forth in the petition follow: ~ First:—Our present train ser- vice is inadequate, which, doubtless has been called to your attention before. Second:—It hampers trade conditions in practically every city on this road. Third:—The business and traveling public are compelled’ to waste too much time under the present service. Fourth:—It keeps the tour- ists from visiting the cities they desire on account of having to take three whole days to make the trip. Fifth:—We believe a night train service can be made a fin- ancial success for “your company from ‘the start. E. H. Denu, H. H. Mayer and C. C. Cross have charge of the circula- tion of the petition in Bemidji, as representatives of the Commercial club. NYMORE THEATRE OPENS Gilbert Sandland to Operate First Class Motion Picture House Gilbert Sandland of this éity, to- day announced that the Royal theatre of Nymore would be open to the public this evening.

WORK FOR AMENDMENT Forestry Association Meeting to be Held in St. Paul Next Week Will Plan Vigorous Forest Campaign INVALUABLE T0 MINNESOTA At a meeting of the Forestry as- sociation which is-to be held in St. Paul next week , March 24 and 25 plans for a vigorous campaign in be- half of the state forest amendement which will be placed before the vot- ers of the state at the election next fall will be discussed. State forests would be an invalu- able' asset to Minnesota in many ways, They would not only insure a perpetual supply of timber and Dlaces ‘of .refuge for our fast disap- pearing game, but they would also be used as recreation and outing grounds for tourists from all parts of the country. Speakers of national repute will be there to discuss the necessity of State Forests and to bring out the benefits obtained from them. At the present time Minnesota has fif- teen million acres of non-agricaltural lands—lands that are itoo sandy and rocky to ibe suitable for farming. ‘They represent an absolute waste, and their proper management is an all-important subject, particularly so if one considers that this very land which is unfit for farming could pro- duce, under a proper system of for- est ‘management, a net profit of five dollars an acre. Matteérs pertaining to game pro- tection on state forests and the estab- fishment of breeding grounds for game will be taken up. It is a well known fact that Minnesota game is disappearing slowly but surely and nothing except the establishment of protected breeding grounds will in- sure @ permanent stock of game. Elaborate preparations have been made to accommodate a large at- tendance, and a splendid program has been arranged for the entertain- ment and instruction of the visitors. Former Auditor Here John Wilman, formerly county au- ditor, is in Bemidji for a few days n business matters. Mr. Wilman now resides in Minneapolis. He ar- rived here yesterday from Hibbing.

Gibbs of St. Paul and W. H. Bofferding of Minneapolis. The ser- vices of the latter two have not def- initely been secured, but it is believ- ed that when the importance of this meeting is placed before them they will consent to come. Both men are splendid speakers and know the market gardening and seed business thoroughly Jester To Talk The Bemidji Onion Growers As- sociation through Messers Jester, Lunn and Sathre are doing much to- ward co-operation in this movement.
