RENSSELAER PUBLIC SCHOOLS

THEIR FACULTY RESPONSIBLE FOR ADVANCEMENT. ■ —From The Rensselaerien. What helps make a school a success? A good faculty. No matter what its other advantages may be or how numerous, a school lacking a good force of teachers is a failure. It turns out graduates, (or undergraduates) that are unprepared for the step of life; it fails to attract (and particularly high school) faculstudents. Members of public school, ties must be men and women who put their interest Jn the life of the school and make--its attainments or ambitions their own. v When asked where we attend school, are we ever backward or hesitant in saying, “Down in Rensselaer”? Of course, we are not, ’but why? Because our jteachers reach and even exceed the standard. When school opened in September this year, a number of strange faces appeared in the high school faculty, though a sufficient number of “standbys” were present to make us feel at home among them. Mr. Dean, Superintendent of Public Schools, is with us again this year; his general popularity is surely proven by his lengthy stay. -Miss Grace Norris simply cannot give up her Latifi classes, and even Miss Younger’s now smiling, now serious face, again appears in the History class-room. Miss Jessie Merry seems to still be able to endure the constant click-clack of' typewriter keys, and has decided to work with the Commercial Geography class in addition to her other commercial-work. Her sister, Miss Blanche Merry, with whom the upper classmen were not well acquainted last year, since she stayed upstairs in the Botany rooms all day, has descended to take Miss Fleming’s place in Room 5, and we find her just as nice at a “close up” as from the distance.

Among those previously mentioned “strange faces” is that of Mr. A. A. Shepler, who has taken Mr. Kratli’s place as principal and backbone of the school. He also makes his daily appearance in the Physics and Chemistry class-rooms. Here were . found many puzzled faces the first few days of school, but Mr. Shepler is rapidly untangling questions, not only in Science,* but also general ones, for the benefit of R. H. S. students. He is assisted by Miss Blanche Merry; , Miss Isabelle Johnson has charge of the Botany and Zoology work; Mr. R. H. Schaupp, the Mathematics. (And while we think of it, Mr. Shaupp has found —just the right school, his initials being R. H. S.). Miss Shedd, while missed greatly by all, has been succeeded'by "Mr. Hadley, who is proving to be quite an agreeable French teacher, as well as foot-ball coach. Miss Ocle Helvie, a jolly young lady, td say the least, is patiently laboring with Ereshmen Algebra and English classes. She has a daily diversion, however, in a Sophomore English section..

But one change has been made in the three special teachers (those who teach subjects to ‘both' high and intermediate grades). Miss Geraldine Wallace has taken up the Music and Art work, and is “going at it” in a business-like way that meets the approval of the majority. Mr.' F. *H. Woerner is doing just as good work as ever in his lines of Industrial Training, Manual and Agriculture. During the year we will often be reminded of his presence in the basement by an incessant sound of hammering. (It has been said that his pupils are a

rather well behaved lot) x Miss Mabel Atwood is far too valuable to the schools to lose, and so she still bandages burnt fingers in the Cooking Department, and watches her pupils patiently (?) rip out a long seam that is not “just so.” The combined Cooking and sewing class offered last year hhs 'been discontinued, and succeeded by two classes, one all sewing and the other all cooking. Mr. D. S. NaveJsagain Principal of the Interm ediate*Grades. In addition he teaches Arithmetic, History, and Agriculture to the Eighth Grade and waiting to both the Seventh and Eighth Grades. Miss Ora Sage teaches Language and Reading to the Eighth, History to the Seventh, and History, Reading and Spelling to the Sixth Graders, besides having charge of the Girl s Athletics and Scout work. Miss Ethel English teaches Seventh and Eighth Grade Physiology, Seventh Grade Geography, and Sixth Grade Writing, Arithmetic, and English. Miss Mary Miles teaches Arithmetic, Grammar, and Reading to the Seventh Grade, Spelling to the Seventh and Eighth, and Geography, Physiology, and Nature Study to the Sixth Graders. Miss Minnie Hemphill is Principal lof the Primary Building, and also, has charge of the Second Grade * room. Miss Alice Jennings and Miss Helen Lamson look after the First Graders. Dufing Miss Jennings’ absence, Mrs. 'A. A. Shepler took charge. Miss Josephine Odell has the “mixed room,” both Second and

THE LABOR CRISIS.

FEDERAL JUDGE A. A. ANDERson at Indianapolis issues a temporary injunction restraining all officials of the United Mine Workers of America from going on strike. The order enjoins the officials from starting or encouraging the strike on the broad general grounds that a disaster threatens the country and that the strike would tie up the transportation system of the nation. WAR WITH ORGANIZED LABOR is threatened as a result of the injunction against the miners, according to Samuel Gompers and leaders of the railroad brotherhoods, who protest to Attorney General Palmer, against the restraining order. Leaders of the railroad men say that they can not guarantee to hold rail men in line if the government deals with strikes by injunction process. —o — EIGHT HUNDRED IST DIVISION soldiers $t Huntington, W.

CIGARETTES DO THIS.

well growled the managing editor as I slunk into my swivel chair this morning you’ve got me in a fine fik over that pile of junk you sent out to the readers last night. Looks to me as if you would get busy and find something worth while to put in the paper instead of spending all your time writing such, stuff and trying to be funny. I’ve lost four leading church member subscribers already this morning. Well said I they don’t have to go to church and they don’t have to read the paper do they. That sort of stopped him for he didn’t have no answer ready and he found out that he had run into more than he had bargained for in the way of repartee. Pretty soon though he sort of recovered and said you’re left-handed and I suppose you don’t know no better and I said well what do you care and he didn’t have no answer ready for that wit either and got sort of red. Then pretty soon after he had collected limself from his embarrassment he said this is November Ist and I said well I know it and what difference does it make it has to be November Ist once each year and he said 'I was just thinking it would be a good time for you to turn over a new leaf and turn in some news occasionally and I said I was just thinking the same thing about you and we kidded each other like that a little bit and then he happened to remember that he was the boss and said well I will reduce your wages if you don’t do better and I said all right reduce my wages I’m only getting six megs a week now and know where I can get seven and that sort of scared him for he immediately began to get condescending and said that he was sorry if he had hurt my feelings and that if I wanted to stay I could because he didn’t think the could find nobody else foolish enough to stay and I told him I didn’t neither. Then he went out and I got remorseful and decided maybe I wasn’t doing just right and so thought maybe I had better hunt up a little live news and went over to the court house to get the real estate transfers. With apologies to nobody. See the free rubber exhibit at B. N. FENDIG’S SHOE STORE on Saturday, November 1. A representative of the Beacon Falls Rubber Co. will be in attendance and explain all things in detail. A pair of the famous Buddy Boots will be given away on that date.

PINE VILLAGE NOT TO BE HERE; MAY BE MOROCCO.

The committee in charge of the entertainment for the armistice day celebration to be held here November 11 announces that efforts to get the Pine Village football team for that day have met with failure and that an attempt will now be made to secure a team from Morocco to play a local team instead, which is very gratifying news to the local followers of the pastime. Representatives of Claire Rhodes’ team were here from the Village Friday and verbally accepted the offer of the local promoters, but on returning to Morocco they learned that a date had been made for their team to play in Dayton, 0., on that day in the meantime. It is understood that the Dayton management made an offer of SI,BOO, which was more than the local committee- barfed to spend on Such an attraction, and which is far more than the Villagers are worth as an attraction.' ' • Morocco should prove a far better attraction playing a local club than would be the case with two foreign teams playing. Morocco will use all home players and the local team will also be composed entirely of local talent, and the game should be a good one. The expense will be far less and a neat sum of money should be cleared which will go to aid in defraying the expenses of the day. Negotiations will start at once toward securing Morocco and the charges of Simon Thompson will get busy at once conditioning themselves for the fray. A trifle stronger lineup will be sent against Morocco than was the case at St. Joseph.

ENTERTAIN AT DELIGHTFUL HALLOWE’EN PARTY.

Mr. and Mrs. William C. Babcock delightfully entertained a large number of their 1 friends in their new heme at the ebmer of College . avenue and Jackson street Friday evening. Many of the guests masqueraded and their make-ups were indeed very unique. Eldon Hopkins impersonated a Russian sJew and many thought the real Trotzky of ‘ Russia had visited the Babcock home. His make-up was so perfect that he was awarded the first prize. Mrs. C. A. Ross won the first prize as the best masqued lady. She impersonated a negro lady and she surely looked the part of a real coon. The make-ups of many of the others were of such a nature as to cause very much merriment. B. J. Moore represented Uncle Sam; C. A. Ross was the ghost; Mrs. A., F. Long and Mary D. Eger had oldfashioned costumes that represented the styles of many years ago. Mrs. A. D. Gilson wore a dress made in 1855 and Atith a peculiar bonnett she looked the part of a fussy old maid, stem and cross. Frank Hill was made up as Charley Chaplin and he looked and acted the part Edward Rhoades could have landed a hand-me-out at any back doo’ - , f«r he looked like the real tramp. Hale Warner was dressed as an bld woman and he did that line of character justice. Mr. Gilson was dressed so much like a laborer that everybody was uneasy all evening for fear he would strike.. Many othera were masqueraded beyond recognition. It was a queer looking, happy bunch. ■ Before the party unmasked, Miss Mafgaret Alice Murray, the little daughter of Mrs. E. J. Murray, of Lafayette, gave an exhibition of toe dancing which was greatly enjoyed by all present.’ Masks were removed at 9 o’clock and a most delightful social evening was enjoyed by the more than half a huhdred guests. Six-handed sevenup was played and the climax of the evening came when time was called and cards ordered up. Then a lunph consisting,, of brick ce cream, real home-made doughnuts, coffee and apples was served. This joyful group dispersed just in time to get home by November first. All extended the hosts their sincere appreciation of a most deightful evening.

Air members of the Health Culture club are asked to come to the library Monday at 4:00 p. m. to meet Miss Regan, of Delphi, who may be the physical director for the coming year.
