PAGE EIGHT : THE BEMIDJI DAILY PIONEER CONSOLIDATED SCHOOL HEADS MEET SATURDAY AT NORMAL SCHOOL Well Known Educators On Program; Year’s Work Is Discussed At a meeting of the principals and superintendents of the consolidated schools, held at the Bemidji State Normal on Saturday, C. C. Swain, state inspector of rural schools, spoke on the necessity of community work. Some of his main points were that the teathers should be held respons- ible for their part in the community work and advised entertainments and lectures to help in getting the com- munity more interested. He stated that patrons of the schools want re- sults and will not object to the high taxes if such are produced. From now on the principals of the consoli- dated schools are compelled to or- ganize boy’s and girl's clubs. Pupils taking the first year High school work in (hz consalidated schools must study one industrial subject, such as manual training, agriculture, cooking or sewing. He also suggest- ed that the boys and girls be given credits for the homework in the sum- mer, potato raising and the like. Miss Shelland Speaks. Miss Annie Shelland, assistant state inspector of rural schools, spoke .an the girl's side of education. She stated that she thought that the girls have been neglected to the in- dustrial work. The teachers should visit the homes of the parents to see ‘What the girls should take up in the indutsrial work. The domestic science classes should offer work in|< advance of that in which the girls have already had experience. She stated that every girl should learn to cook, sew and nurse that they may make better mothers of the future Americans. This work is up to the teachers since “the future of Nor- thern Minesota is in the hands of the teachers.” Deputy Talks Salaries. President Deputy of the State Nor- mal spoke on the four points in the pu of consolidated schools. First, to more economically promote educational work of the community; second, to build up and conserve a detter community interst; third, to better provide a higher quality of grade work and to capitalize the ability of all teachers; and fourth, it makes it possible to extend higher |Beets, per cwt....
