OFFICIAL COUNTY AND CITY PROCEEDINGS THE NEW HIGH SCHOOL SITE . That Bemidji has become awake to the necessity of provid- ing more adequate school grounds around the new high school to be built, has been pretty well evidenced by the interest shown in the two meetings held to consider the placing of the new school on a new site. There seems to be three lines of thought running through the minds of the citizens. Some are not in favor of moving from the old site. Some want a site at Irvine avenue and Fifteenth street, and some between Bixby avenue and Doud avenue on Fifteenth street. The majority who have expressed their opin- ion thus far, favor a change in location and give as their rea- sons the fact that the present site is not central, is not far enough removed from the downtown business section, with its noise and detractions, and has not sufficient grounds upon which to place the new school. We have no hesitation in agreeing with these reasons for not placing the new school building on the old against that fact. the present site seems hardly possible—at any rate, the cost would be prohibitive. As between the other two sites uvon which the citizens are to be asked to vote a conclusion is not so easily arrived at. Both are excellen4sites, so much better than the old site that we pre- syme no serious objections would be made to either. There are tgso sites for consideration, however, and much care must be gxercised in making the choice. Architect Bromhall, who should be a safe authority, advises the Bixby avenue site. He does 8o because of its superior drainage, scenic and general sur- roundings, and also for reason that the present plans as drawn for the old site, will serve with but a small change in the plans and construction of the Bixby avenue site. Both the old site and the proposed Bixby avenue site would re- quire a building with an east front exposure. The Irvine avenue site would require a building with a southern frontage, if the tract of ground proposed in the petition filed is to be used, the long side of the tract of ground being east and west. A com- plete new set of plans would be required and a radical change in the construction of the building requiring additional expense| in the construction of approximately $20,000, according to the estimates of the architect. This would mean delay in getting started on the buildings causing winter construction, which is considerably more expensive than summer ¢onstruction. Some have inquired why a building planned with an east front cannot simply be turned around and made to face south.! The reason is that all school buildings are supposed to be so faced that a maximum of light may be admitted through the east and west walls into the class rooms, and the state depart- ment of education makes this very strong in their approval of yew constructed buildings. . i If the present planned building were turned around to face south, the short side of the building, which is 176 feet. would face the east and the long side, which is 240 feet, would face the south—thus violating the requirements of the state department. Jn deference to the expert advice of Architect Bromhali, and in view of the fact that either sites may be purchased for practically the same price per square foot, we are led to the con- clusion that the site on Bixby avenue would be best as a whole' for the city. L AR, | = —o0 SECRETS WILL OUT ‘A new use has been found for ether, and the criminal ele-, ment of our population is not pleased. In time their uneasiness| may develop into a panic. ‘ It has been demonstrated by practical experiment that a! small amount of ether administered to a person—an amount! sufficient to place him under its influence and yet leaving him! conscious—will cause that person to respond readily to any! questoin, to babble his innermost secrets, Just what effect information secured in this manner will' haye in law is unknown, as its admissibility is yet to be ascer-' tained. But the fact remains that this opens up a possible way of deecting crime and of solving many of the mysteries that now baffle the police of the country. Then, too, if employed in ferreting out violations of thefiw prohibition law there is no limit tg the consternation it may cre-| ate. It may even cause half of the population of the United‘ States to decamp for parts unknown. Gosh! | o—o | . Watch vour step.

After all is said and these dairy houses done, the milkman will agree without any joking that the milk ordinance, or whatever it s that struck him, was a lucky strike, and the next strike will probably be for higher milk pri CEZ RS RS R R 00 0 0 The Lutheran Laidies’ Aid was held ant all the other units at the home of Miss Betsy Freder- se. but as the member-|ickson Thursday.
