Report of Meeting of Patron Teachers’ Association.

The meeting of the Patron-Teach-ers’ association last Thursday evening at the high school auditorium, was well attended. ’ If the attendance at the first meeting was an, indication of the interest of the patrons. this organization should prove to be one of the best enterprises started in this community for some time.: ". The program opened with a piano trio by Helen Parkinson, Cornelia Leonard and Thelma Martindale, followed by music by the boys’ quartet from the high ,school. After the musical numbers the president, Mrs. Mary Washburn Graham, stated in a very clear manner the purposes of the organization and mentioned some of the things to be accomplished. Since the subject for this meeting was, “Co-operation of the Home and the School,” most of her remrks were along that line. The main address of the evenig was given by Mr. George Williams. He reviewed briefly the purposes and possibilities of snch an organization in this community, showing the great amount of good which might be accomplished. In the course of his remarks he stated that last year the cost of maintenance of the civil city was $16,000 while the school city required $24,000. By comparison he showed the relative importance of each and urged greater interest in the school city and co-opera-tion on the part of patron and teacher. If the association can waken a deeper interest long the line of the importance and value of the school together with the need for and Value oj helpful co-operation, then it will have served the community. His address contained many such helpful suggestions and everyone pronouncan excellent discussion of the subject. At the conclusion or Mr. Williams’ address, there was some general discussion on the part of patrons. The social hour which followed the regular program was enjoyed by all. Many patrons took this opportunity oi getting acquainted with the teacher.-*. Light refreshments were served by the girls of the eighth grade domestic science class, under the direction of the committee from the association and the domestic science feather. Before the meeting adjourned, the majority of the people joined the association by handing their names to the secretry and paying the annua! dues of 25 cents. , This was perhaps the first school M eeting held in Rensselaer for many years and the number present and interest shown was a source of much encouragement to the officers and committee. They have started plans for the next meeting which will be held in about four weeks. It is hoped that every one of the three hundred and sixty families represented in the schools of this city will become identified with this work, which will no doubt have an influence for good in Rensselaer,

Reminiscent of Early Days.

(Continued from pjige one.).

sumed that they were Crawfordsville papers. The articles follow: “I am not feeling as hungry as I did 75 years ago tonight,” said Hon. Michael D. White, the Grand Old Man of this community, as he pushed his chair baefe from the supper table Saturday evening. Being pressed for the cause of the short-coming in appetite, the sage told the following: Seventy-five years ago today W illiam Henry Harrison was inaugurated President of the United States. It was a cold day and there was 12 or 14 inches of snow on the ground. Up in Tippecanoe county we held a fox and wolf hunt in honor of the occasion, and also to rid the country of the vermin. I rode with my father in the drive behind on the sorrel mare and we beat the bushes toward the common center just as they do today. “The drive was a success. We rounded up six foxes, five or six wolves and about six deer, as I remember. The game was piled up in one big heap and was apportioned out among the captains of the three hundred or more participants. “At the heels of the hunt, as the sporting writer would say, two farmers drove up in wagons each of which contained a barrel of home spun whiskey. It must have been of a fighting brand, because in a little while that spirit became predominant and somebody killed the Austrian prince that started things. The bully from Yorktown met the best man from Darlington and they went at it, feet and fists. I never saw such a fight. I doubt if the trenches around Verdun has shown such a one. It was one of these contagious tights Save for myself and parent, I think it was unanimous. “No, I am not so hungry tonight as I was that-night when I got home. Also I have a better opinion of humanity. Of,course, these men who fought were our ancestors, and maybe the daddies of our best citizens, but it shows that the world is growing better, even if it takes 75 years.”

The lion. M. 1). White, 88 years old, ex-congressman, delighted the teachers at the institute Saturday with his recollections of the past. Although one or the oldest men in the city Mr. White is still in good health and wa s able to talk for almost an hour on the history or our state and especially of our county. He told how Crawfordsville received its name from Major Whituho was * ,n charge of a land office here and named the town after his friend. Colonel Crawford lie also declared that Vincennes was not named after the suburb of Paris as is popularly supposed, but after’ an Indian trader who settled there Among the most interesting of his recollections was his campaign for congress in 1 860. In this year Henry s. Lane was also a candidate for governor and he told how the late Mrs Lane took up active part in her husband s campaign. At one time during that year Mr. White said that he was holding a meeting at the ITS" y v a A an<l Mrfi Lane came out an . d , ?s f d u to meet h,s friends. He said that she stood in line with him All afternoon receiving voters On a request from one or the teachers Mr. White told of the r that wan operated war He spoke principally of the work of Fisher Dohcry whonr he declared was one of the most lovable men that he ever knew Ihe underground railway in this county, according to Mr. White was Lr?— ° f a sa cred Institution.’ No politician ever dared to raise his hand or even his voice, against It and many was the slave that received bis freedom through it > For almost an hour Mr White continued to tell the teacher's of his recollections of the early days of the state. There is perhaps no man In the county who is better able to speak on this subject. Mr. White was a member of congress during one of the greatest periods of our nauonal history. He has been a citizen of this community since it was a settlement of a few log cabins.
