Monnett $50,000 Building Fund Campaign Now On.

For a number of years Rensselaer has been the homei of a growing institution known as the. Monnett School for Girlsj. This school has for its purpose the caring for girls who have been bereft of father or mother or both at the tender years of from ten to sixteen. Schools of this kind are not plentiful and yet there arc a great many girls needing this care and protection. About thirty girls are-now m the present modest institution at this place and- they are receiving an education and ! training that will undoubtedly help each and every one of them to go out in the world and do the noble part of a splendid woman. The people in charge of this institution 'are thoroughly capable, deeply religious and have a real vision of the great possibilities of this wide field' of endeavor in which it seems to o stand practically alone. That an institution of this kind appeals to all there can be no x doubt. The making possible an environment such as afforded , "by the Monnett School for Girls is a work as grand as can be done by all who are anxious to serve the one who said “In as much as ye have done unto the least of one of these ye have done it unto me/’ The appeal is a tremendous one and worthy of every dollar that can be raised for its support. It will in a jNßry vital sense be a Methodist institution and no doubt the people of that denomination here and elsewhere will rally to its call. JBut, it is broader than Methodism. Its call is as broad as humanity and should appeal to everyone who is interested in the present girls who are to be the future women; —— . ■ Rensselaer should be interested m this movement from a strictly business standpoint. Financially it would be a most excellent investment.-Just now we are interested in the locating here of industries that will add materially to the progress of our city. Would not this institution increase the volumn of trade of every business firm in the city ? Would it not furnish, a most excellent market for many of the products of the farm of this community? To be known as the home of so splendid an enterprise would undoubtedly be a no mean advertisement.

When the building is completed and opened for business and has the full co-operation of the great Methodist Episcopal church it will undoubtedly grow to be an institution of great magnitude as well as usefulness. Whether, viewed from the point of love for humanity or as a cold business. proposition, it is worthy of the very greatest support of the peop,e of this city.

UPSETS FEATURE OF SECOND DAY

«■<- <> •' r ~T* — x — -—-J : Man" Favorites In Districts Fall By Wayside, While Darkhorses Spring to Front. In direct contrast to the first day of the Indiana basketball tourney, Saturday was a day marked with, upsets and surprises which astounded the basket fans of the state. Teams counted the strongest in the state fell by the wayside while dark horses 'sprang into the limelight and walked away with distinct honors, earning the right to represent their schools in the finals at Bolomington next Saturday. Probably the greatest upset in the tourney was the elimination of Montmorenci, picked as a sure winner by practically every sport waiter in the section. This team had not loct a game during the entire season and had tw : ce defeated Jefferson high of Lafayette, which team eliminatd them. • The score was 33 to 11, the Montmorenci team crumpling before the furious onslaught oi the Lafayette five. Teams that had set a fast pace throughout the entire season went stale. The surprising reversal of form shown by the Jefferson five from Lafayette stamps them as a most dangerous contender to the other teams in the tourney to be held this week end. The spirit, aggressiveness and frocious attack displayed by the Jeffersonians bodes evil to any team contesting with them. This team had been shifted around constantly during the season and displayed a mediocre class, of. hall until this week.. In years gone by the teams within a radins of a few miles of Lafayette have la ways takep the title and that and will be conducted by Rev. Strecker at the home at 10 o’clock Tuesday morning and burial will be made in Weston cemetery. The teams left in the tourney are: Pendleton, Bloomington, Bluffton, Rockford, Columbus, Wingate, Trafalgar, Lizton, Kendalville, Kokomo, Jefferson, Lebanon, Rochester, Martinsville, Muncie,, Richmond, South Bend, Emerson (Gary), Vincennes, Washington.
