Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 213, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 5 September 1912 — Jasper County District Schools to Open Monday. [ARTICLE]

Jasper County District Schools to Open Monday.

Plans have all been made for the opening of the schools in the rural districts of the county. The schools in the following townships will "start on September 9th: Barkley, Carpenter, Jordan, Kankakee, Marion, Milroy, Newton, Union. The schools in Gillam, Hanging Grove, Keener, Walker and Wheatfleld townships will not start until a week later, September 16. Arrangements have been made to make the school term seven months or perhaps longer. Seven months is the length of the term usually pursued in Jasper and a majority of counties in the state, but many of the counties surrounding Jasper have instituted enight-month terms, and no doubt it would be well for Jasper county to keep up with the procession.
