Rensselaer Public Schools.

April 7, 1915. To the Patrons of the Public Schools: As you no doubt remember, the patrons’ day in the public schools last year was Thursday, February 26. On that day more than two hundred people visited the schools but >t was 'he opinion of many that had it been a little later in the year many more would have visited. This year the date is later, being this coming Friday, April 9. We are sending you this note to remind you that the time is almost hero and we are expecting you to spend a part of that day with us. You will be welcomed in any of the buildings and rooms. For the convenience or all will say that the Primary building has the first five grades, the Grammar or old High Scliool building, the sixth, seventh and eighth grades, also the Domestic Science and Commercial departments while the new High School building ha§ tihe High School and Manual Training departments. The work to be given Friday will be regular school work and not special work for that day. In the high school, the last period in the day, beginning at 2:45 p. m., will be given over to one of the regular Literary programs, which will be in charge of Mrs. Alice Shedd Randle, assisted by Catharine Watson. Besides giving you a chance to see regular school work we are anxious to have you here for the following reasons: a. To become better acquainted with the teachers. b. To see what we are trying to do. ' c. To arouse more of an interest in the schools. d. To have you offer any suggestions regarding the work of : he schools. Pupils will be on duty in the halls jn the different buildings to assist visitors in finding rooms and teachers. If you can only stay fifteen minutes we will be glad to have you stay that long, but stay longer if you can. Very truly yours, C. R. DEAN.
