Principal C. M. Sharp to Teach Chemistry at Shortridge.

The school board last week received the resignation of Prof. C. M. Sharp, of Springfield, Ohio, who for the past two years has been principal of the Rensselaer high school and whose intelligence and bearing marked him as an able school man and educator. Prof. Sharp taught chemistry here and his reason for resigning is to teach the same study in Shortridge high school in Indianapolis. Last spring in discussing his return to his old position here with the school board he asked an increase in salary, stating the amount desired. The board made him a counter proposition but later accepted his own figures and the position was regarded as filled when his resignation was received. Althought resignations cause some inconvenience to the school board it is recognized that opportunities for advancement must be taken by teachers when they present themselves, and the board will be on the lookout foT a successor for Prof. Sharp. His many friends will be pleased to know that he has received a position in a school like Shortridge and prophesy for him further and speedy advancement. Miss Grace Norris, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. James Norris, of this city, who has been a teacher in the high school at North Vernon for the past three years, has been employed as a teacher in the Rensselaer high school.
