GETTING IDEAS IN OTHER FIELDS

Teachers of Rensselaer Are Visiting In Many Cities —A Good Educational Move. Rensselaer teachers, both hi£h school and grade, are visiting other schools today and tomorrow, Monday and Tuesday. They have gone to schools that are regarded as models of excellence and will thus have the opportunity of securing new ide&s that may be put into vogue upon their return. Principal Ross Dean went to Elkhart, Prof. Charles Sharp to Springfield, Ohio; Prof. Ira Coe to Sterling, Ill.; Misses Ethel PerJjJfls. L. Waive Mallory and Alice Shedd to Chicago. Miss Naomi Gregg went to Indianapolis. Miss Grace Stover, the music and drawing teacher, and tho following grade teachers also went to Chicago and expect also to visit the Gary schools: Atisses Helen Lamson, Edith Adams, Mildred Vanderberg, Bessie Wiiley, Clara Holmes, Minnie Hemphill, Tillie Malchow, Cora Dexter. A statement about the arrangement in the 6t’h, 7th and Bth grades will be made by Superintendent Clarke In a day or two. The new building will be all ready for occupancy Wednesday morning. It is expected to hold a dedicatory service later, but probably not until after the first of the year. A visiting day will also be provided, so that all patrons and all taxpayers can see the arrangement and tjie of the fine new building.

Daniel Leighton and Erma Ebert, associate players, will present two bills at the Ellis Theatre on Tuesday night only, Dec. 3rd, “Charley's Aunt,” and "Paid a Debt.” This company has just completed a successful tour of the east. “Paid a Debt," is a romantic comedy drama in four acts; beautiful in theme and consyuctlon and replete with pathos and comedy. “Charly’s Aunt,” in t|wo acts, is a farcical comedy and has been popular for a score of years, ■ Daniel Leighton assumes the character of “Charley’s Aunt, who comes from Brazil, where the nuts come from. “Charley’s Aunt” never falls to please. The company has been carefully selected, for this tour.
