Grand Rapid Herald-Review, ’ MINNESOTA ¥ VoL, XXII. —No 10 GRanp Rapips, Irasca County, MINN., WEDNESDAY, AUGUST 30, [gII Two Dollars a Year PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN SEPTEMBER 8 Grand Rapids Will Have an Enroll- ; men of Over 700; Cohasset Will Have About 125. NOT MANY NEW FACES THIS YEAR In the List of Teachers, There Be- ing Only Five Changes Made— Agricultural Teacher Not Yet Selected. The Grand Rapids schools will/ open for the season 1911-12 on Tues- day September 5. The teachers will arrive Saturday and Sunday and on Monday a meeting of the teachers of the three schools will be held at which Supt. E. A. Freeman will out- line the year’s work. Few changes will be made in the ‘Grand Rapids schools this year. A sixth grade room has been fitted up at the Forrest lake school which will be in charge of Miss Emma Vogel,' who comes to Grand Rapids trom | the Luverne public schools. Hereto- grades have taught at this school, but the num- fore only five been ber of pupils is increasing so rapid- ly it was found necessary to make this change. At the Central school the second and third grades have been put in one room, over which Miss Alida Holmes will have charge. In scanning over the list of teach- ‘ers we do not find many new faces | this year. The high school corp is | intact, while the same teachers will again work together at Forrest lake school. However, the commercial de-| partment will have a new head. Prof. Scott, resigned to take a po- sition in the Streeter, Il, public schools at an advanced salary and the board has selected Miss Grace Summerville to take charge of this department. Miss Summerville has been at the head of the Junta, Colo., high school commercial department for the past three years and has several years experience in commer- , cial work. There is no doubt the her position as fifth grade teacher at the end of the term and Mrs. May Plowman Bergh has been selected to take charge of this grade. Mrs. Bergh comes from Frazee, Minn., and carries excellent recommendations as to her teaching abilities. The sec- ond grade, which was in charge of Miss Katherine Doran, has been com- bined with the third grade. Miss Doran has resigned and will not teach at Grand Rapids this year. Miss Dorothy Ely, who has had charge of the kindergarten depart- ment of the Gilbert schools, will take the position made vacant by the resignation of Miks Clifford, who was married om July 19 to W. A. Rossman. Miss Lillian LeFebre, who was assistant kindergartner, will jeave for Minneapolis in a few days where she will take a year’s course at the Minneapolis Kindergarten Training school. The board has ap- pointed Miss Mae Benton, one of the home girls and a graduate of the Grand Rapids high school and normal course, to this position. In regard to the agricultural de- partment, provision for which’ was nade at the annual meeting, Supt. Freeman states the board is looking for a desirable man, one who is prac- tical as well as equipped with a book knowledge of the job, “for,” said Mr. Freeman, “we must have a man who thoroughly understands the practical side of farming, and in order to make the new depart- ment a success, its head must be able to command influence with the farmers.” At the Cohasset] school this year, eight grades will be taught just as soon as the new building is complete- ly finished. High school pupils will be hauled to Grand Rapids by stage. Miss Canfield, who will be in charge, was formerly principal of the Cohas- set schools. With regard to attendance, it is expected the enrollment at Grand | Rapids, in the three schools, will be a little over 700. At Cohasset the attendance is estimated at about 125. Great strides have been made along educational lines at Grand: Rap- ids since the high school building was comp'eted»in 1903. Supt. Free- man took charge at this time and while we dated the progress from the completion of the building, it is due to Mr. Freeman’s executive a- bility and to his deep interest in school work. In the year 1903 there were only 41 pupils in the high school while there are now about 125. The graduating class this spring numbered twenty and the |} coming year it will be nearly ais urge. In 1918, however, the gradu- ating class will contain thirty or department will progress under her directorship. At the Central school there are a few changes. Miss Mallory resigned more.

LOSING 4 OUT OF 21 GAMES PLAYED Lost One Game, Each, to Deer River City Team, Twin Ports, Marble Juniors and the Proctor Juniors. In a few weeks the Grand Rapids Juniors will close one of the most successful seasons of any junior or- ganization in the whole northwest. We are taking in plenty of territory we know, but we have learned of no team in any of the northwest states, in their class, that can equal this record. Grand Rapids is proud of the juniors and she don’t care who knows it. In the past, city teams have been organized and, while some of them have made good show- ings, the final result has been it has cost some few a nice little sum of money to liquidate the debts contracted. This year, no city team was organ- ized and several of the business men went good on notes for the jun- jor team to raise sufficient money to pay for the lease on the grounds. This money has been repaid out of gate receipts and the team is entire- ly out of debt. All this speaks well, both for the drawing attraction of the team and the efficient manage- ment of Mr. Curto, who has charge of the organization, During the 1911 season, the Grand Rapyds Juniors have thus far play- ed a total of twenty-one ‘games, out of _ which only four were on the wrong side of the ledger, which means the team has been playing -810 per. cent -baseball.. On this showing we maintain the junjors have it “on” anything in their class in the northwest. Here’s their record: April 283—Grand Rapids at Taconite, Grand Rapids, 5; Taconite, 2.

SEASON OPENS ON SEPTEMBER 7 When Aquatic: Fowl and Prairie Chicken May Be Killed—But Don’t Touch Partridges Until October Ist. The season for hunting ducks and other aquatic fowl opens September 7 and a number of Grand Rapids sportsmen have been quietly locat- ing likely spots where the feathered tribe congregate and from what they say, the Herald-Review‘s sport ing editor judges that half the country is inhabited with ducks and the other half with partridges. The open season for prairie chick- ens, turtle doves, snipe, wood- cock, pinnated, white-breasted or sharp-tailed grouse, golden plover and upland plover also commences on September 7, but it closes on November 7, earlier than the season for ducks, which closes December 1. Don‘t Kill Partridges Yet. Many are under the impression that the open season for partridges also commences September 7, this is not so. Beware of the game warden and wait until The law reads in relation to this as follows: “Quail, partridges, or any variety of pheasant other than Mon- golian, Chinese, ring-necked or English pheasant, may be killed or had in possession between the day of October and the 1st day of | ready for publication, but it [eore of twelve numbers and she December, “following”. Any of the game birds named a- bove, whi h have tee lawfully cazght or killed may be had in _ possession five days after the date the sea- son closes, but no person shall take! or kill more than fifteen birds in one | day nor have in his possession at any, one time, more than forty-five turtle doves, prairie chickens, white-breast | ed or sharp-tailed grouse, quail, partridges,. ruffed grouse, pheasant, woodcock, upland plover or golden plover, nor cam he have more than forty-five, of the varieties named,' combined, in his possession at any one time. | With regard to ducks, geese, brant, any variety of aquatic fowl, or snipe, | the limit for one day is the same, fif-. teen, but each hunter is allowed to have fifty of one kind, or the same! number of the different varieties combined in his possession at one time. | The law reads that it is not neces- sary for a resident of the state to! take out license to hunt in the coun-' ty in which he resides, but should he desire to hunt in some other coun ty, he must first get a license, the cost of which is $1, from his county | auditor. | The law expressly prohibits the! breaking up of nests, destroying of eggs, using traps, snares or lights, oc shooting from a row boat, canoe} or other contrivance between dark and daylight. It is prohibited to shunt with or from any motor boat, launch, sail boat, sunken barrels, boxes or floating blinds at any time. The law is very stringent regard-| ing hunters or their dogs entering growing fields of grain and this is made a misdemeanor unless permis- sion by the owner to enter is given. Owners who do not wish hunters to enter on their lands should post written or printed notices to that effect, in the English language. Penalties. Any person who kills or has in his possession game birds or fowl other than during the open season or who has more than the limit allowed by law, is subject to a fine of not less than $10 or more than $100 and costs,’ or not less than ten nor more than! sixty days in the county jail, if con- victed. Any person who hunts out- side his county without a license is subject to a fine of the same amount put in failure to pay this, the im- ' | but | October 1.} school auditorium under the auspices 1st ;mounces that the program is not yet | Carpenter. | prisonment limit is stretched to nine- ty days, “Whoever shall resist or obstruct,” so the law reads, “any game warden or executive agent in the discharge of his duties, shall be guilty of a mjsdemeanor and on conviction there- of shall be punished by a fine of not Jess than $50, nor more than $100 prisonment in the county jail for not ldss than sixty nor more than nine- ty days for each and every offense.” Plenty Of Game. Game Warden Jesse Harry, who is perhaps the most well informed: mam in the county on the game sit- uation states there will be more aquatic fowl than for several years. He also states that partridges are unusually numerous and says that the game wardens are kecping a zealous eye on them to see that none are killed before the season opens on October 1. Indications are that big game will also be very numerous this year and people who have occasion to travel over the less frequented roads state it is not unusual to see two or three standing along the road dur- dng the course of the day’s travel. Several deer have also been seen along the Bovey-Grand Rapids road the past week. MUSICAL CONCERT FOR SEPTEMBER 12 By Miss Rae Potter, Assisted By the Mixed Quartette and Miss Burlingame. Mention was made in these columns last week of a concert to be given | here in the near future, by Miss Rae Potter. The date has been set for Tuesday evening, September 12, and it will be given at the high of the Catholic Ladies’ Altar society. Miss Potter, who has studied under Duluth teachers for the past two years and who has a voice of rare quality and depth of feeling, an-| will | will be assisted by the mixed quar- tette, consisting of Misses Doran and Bossard and Messrs. Blasing and | Miss Burlingame will al- so give a reading. The program in full will be published next week. | HENRY HUGHES 10 BUILD IN SPRING New Building, to Take the Place of One Destroyed By Fire, Will Be Larger. EDIFIGE WILL BE 10 FEET LONGER Plans Have Not Yet Been Complet- ed But the Work of Construc- tion Will Be Commenced Very Early. Although the news has been cur- rent for some time that Henry Hughes & Oo. would rebuild the com- ing spring, the fact was not confirm- ed unti) Monday when Mr. Hughes said: “Yes; we will rebuild the com- ing spring. I am not certain yet for the plans have not been drawn, but I think the new building will be ten feet longer than) the old.” The Hughes block, which was com- pleted last year and was only occupi- ed since ‘the first of the year, was de- stroyed by fire in May, only the brick walls remaining standing and they collapsed during a heavy gale shortly after. The building which was erected at a cost of about $30,000, was consid- ered one of the largest and most finely appointed exclus've retail mer- cantile buildings in the northwest and the stock was valued at about the same amount. om The new building will be construct on the same plan as the old, with a seventy-five foot frontage on Kindred javenue and a 100 foot frontage on Fourth street. The office rooms on the second floor will also be similar- ly constructed as in the old. While nothing is definitely known as to when work will be started, it is very probable the construction work will be commenced as soon as weather conditions in the spring will permit. Mr. Hughes is now having the cleared brick piled and the debris away.
