Evening Republican, Volume 16, Number 281, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 23 November 1912 — WILL OCCUPY NEW SCHOOL BUILDING [ARTICLE]

WILL OCCUPY NEW SCHOOL BUILDING

After Thanksgiving and Visiting Days’ Vacation High School Will Be in New Home. The new high school building will be occupied after the Thanksgiving and visiting days’ vacation. Removal will be made during the vacation ami when the schools take up on Dec. 4th the .high school will be in its magnificent new home. The old high school building will be occupied by the 6th, 7th and Bth grades and the grade building will have the first five grades. For the past year the primary grade has been occupying the library auditorium. There will be plenty of room in the three buildings for a long time to jcorne, but the excellent facilities should be instrumental in drawing many more pupils to the high school as soon as the’ excellence of the building and the advantages for improved education are learned in surrounding towns. For the present one new teacher will be employed to have supervision over the 6th, 7th and Bth grades and to assist the regular teachers of those grades. It is probable that the school board will do some extensive advertis-. ing during the sumer months to make known the advantages offered for a high school course here. The Republican had hoped to be able to print a picture of the new building at this time, but the condition of the gr’ounds iso unsightly, owing to the of dirt and rubbish that the photographer thought best to wait Until this is cleared away before making a picture. This will probably be done within a week and then a description of the building and the manner it will be utilized will accompany the picture. The schools will adjourn next Wednesday evening for Thanksgiving. They will not take up until Wednesday morning of the following week, Dec. 4th, as the teachers will employ Monday and Tuesday, Dec. 2nd and 3rd for visiting days, going to other schools that are regarded models. This has the effect of broadening the teachers and they often learn of methods that they are able to apply successfully in their own schools. It is quite sure there will be enough democrats to take the Crown Point postofflee when a vacancy occurs, which is not due until three years from next February. Mr. Daugherty will undoubtedly hold the office until his time expires if he runß it “according to Hoyle.”—Lake County Star. Don’t forget Simon Leopold’s big remodeling sale.
