Notice to Patrons of the Rensselaer Public Schools.

Owing to the very crowded condition of our schools, and the inadequacy of the present building to accommodate the pupils belonging to the school, we must request parents to send their children upon the first day of school, in order that they may secure seats, as it will be impossible to make room for all during the coming year. The following rule will be strictly enforced: Any scholar who is absent, from any cause, for two days consecutively, will forfeit his right to his seat, and will have to wait for another regular desk until one becomes unoccupied. We desire to call attention to the catalogue of the school issued this -week, and which we wish to be in the hands of every family sendingchildren to school. In this catalogue will be found the rules under which the school is governed, and it is the duty of every parent, as well as every scholar, to thoroughly understand these rules. With the hearty co-operation of the school patrons there is no reason why our schools should not be equal in efficiency to any in the state. R. S. Dwiggins, ) M. F. Chilcote, >• Trustees. Ezra L.
