PROF. BRADSHAW RESIGNS; BOSS DEAN PROMOTED.

Former Goes to Sebleevflle at Higher Salary-Other Changer-List of All the Teachers. Prof. Bradshaw came to Rensselaer Monday to seek his release as principal in order that he might accept the principalship of the Noblesville schools. S The board has always adopted the policy of helping its teachers along when they have opportunities of improvement and the request of Mr. Bradshaw was granted. It is understood that he will receive >IOO more the first year at Noblesville than he received here and that he will receive an advance of >2OO another year. Mr. Bradshaw is one of the ablest principals the Rensselaer school has ever had and his resignation will be received with general regret, except for the fact that it means an advancement to him. He succeeded Prof. Gray here three years ago and came at a |ime when there was need of some rigid discipline. He succeeeded from the start and not only reorganized the playground methods of the high school and overcame much of the rougher elements of rivalry, but procured the support of some of the former discontents of the school. He was also an able instructor in mathematics and imparted his know ledge of the subjects he taught in a manner that brought results that were satisfactory in every way. Prof. Bradshaw will be missed by all who became well acquainted with him. He is a high-minded and studious gentleman and certain to succeed in any trust where industry, honesty and ability are the qualities needed. His friends here will watch his further advancement with interest Prof. Bradshaw will be succeeded by Ross Dean, for several years an instructor in the high school, who will continue to instruct in history while filling the position of principal. His success in the high school deserves for him this promotion and he will make good in it beyond a doubt. A number of other changes have been made necessary by resignations, but all positions are now filled except that of mathematics teacher. Considerable regret will be felt at the resignation of Miss Edith Leonard, the English teacher, whom Superintendent Warren says was one of the best teachers we have ever had. She will teach English in the Hillsdale, Mich,, college. Her place will be filled by Miss Carolyn Dudley, of Hillsdale. Prof. H. C. Marvin, who was engaged to teach in our high school, has resigned in order to accept a position in Michigan paying him S3OO more salary. Chas.° M. Sharp, ’of Springfield, Ohio, will replace him. Miss Edith Shedd is another of our best teachers to resign. Her position was to have been filled by her sister, Miss Alice, who has been teaching for two or three years at Otterbein. The salary to be paid Miss Shedd was SBS per month. Prof. Lee Fisher, of Otterbein, however, was determined to retain her for the schools there, and succeeded in getting the trustee to bid SIOO per month for her services and she elected to remain at Otterbein. Miss Ethel Perkins will take her place. The teachers as now contracted for are:
