The Rensselaer Graded Schools.

Of the graded schools in her midst Rensselaer h'-ls Justly proud. The Schoo 1 Trus f e>; have spared nothing tc equip . v ' 1 ~notify the school building l to furnish an excellent cv of teachers; in shor* to : 'oily the equal of any similar sc’ 00l in the state. The school is complied with excellent chemical, pllasphical and physiological apparatus; and it possesses one of tile finest school libraries found in the High Schools. Nothing is wanting to give full and thorough h?::*ruction. The school is a commi-. loned High School, whose gradu admitted into the Freshman class of any university in India -iso into the Terre Haute I mal, without standing a -prepa’’ctory examination. Any school possessing these qualities and privileges should be liberally patronized by the parents of the county who intend to send their children away to school. All the students who have been graduated from the country schools, as well as others, should embrace the opportunity*!)! acquiring a thorough high school education, and should do all they can to get their parents to second them in their noble efforts.

It will be worth more to them than a farm or a bank draft. No one can steal it. It will not be destroyed by fire, its possestor can not lose it. He cannot mortgage it.

The constant breeze and mineral water are elements which always aie conducive to good health, and Rensselaer has both. The morals of the towm are good. There are no places to entice the young from the path of virtue and honor; but on the other hand, the church influences are manifold, and aid not a little in forming and molding the character of the rising generation. No parent need have any fear in sending his child to the Rensselaer school, as every effort will be put forth to build such a character against which the storms of destruction shall be of no avail. Good boarding can be gotten, in private families, for $3.00 per week. Tuition in the High school per month, sl. For further particulars see or address E. L. Clark, President of the Board, or F. W.
