Evening Republican, Volume 21, Number 197, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 29 August 1918 — SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 9TH [ARTICLE]

SCHOOL OPENS SEPTEMBER 9TH

Owing to the fact that in report ng the big yields of wheat and oats in Jasper county in our Wednesday ssue, we were short of the large numbers and had to use a “2”’ instead of a “9” in our item in reference to the opening of the Rensselaer city schools. Supt. Dea-n is sure that every “kid” in the city reads the Republican, for every one of them called him last night and breathlessly asked, “Does school begin- next Monday?” The superintendent, being of a very amiable disposition, gently answered the lundreds of inquiries, “No, not until the following Monday.”
