Teacher Employed to Succeed Miss Holmes.

The resignation of Miss Clara Holmes as a teacher in the schools of Rensselaer has been accepted by the school board and Miss Grace E. Norris, whose home is in Michigan, and who has just .-completed a fourth quarter in Chicago University, has been employed in her place and will teach the same studies, arithmetic in the 6th, 7th and Bth grades and one class of English in the high school. Superintendent Clarke believes that the new teacher will be well equipped to take up the school work of Miss Holmes. She has taught for some years and for three years immediately to her entering Chicago University she was a teacher in the 7th and Bth grades of the schools of Kalamazoo, Mich. Miss Norris will be here to begin teaching after the holiday vacation.
