Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 201, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 10 September 1917 — Monnett Home Crowded. [ARTICLE]

Monnett Home Crowded.

The management of the Monnett Home has been unable to take care of all the girls who have applied for admission this year and many have been utmed away. Had the building contemplated been erected there is no doubt but that the capacity so provided would have been used. Miss Simpson, the efficient superintendent, is doing everything in her power to take care of just as many as possible of the girls. The teachers are rooming away from the home and many of the larger girls are being taken care of in some of the splendid homes of the city. Among the homes being used are those of Bert Hopkins, Jesse Allman and Earle Reynolds. It is hoped that the Methodist conference and the people of this community will realize that there is -a need of this splendid institution and the opportunity to really put Rensselaer on the map by being the home of a girl’s school that can become one of Indiana’s great educational institutions.
