About Teachers and Schools.

After, a more than ordinarily successful school year, of nine months duration, the Rensselaer public schools closed last week. The teachers have been zealous, faithful and efficient and as a result the scholars under their care, have, on the whole, made excellent, progress; as the very large number of promotions made at, the close of the school, clearly shows. The School Board have already employed Mt. Kirsch for another year as superintendent of the schools, and have also decided to employ an assistant instructor for the high school. The other teachers have all, with the exception of Miss Lille Bartoo, applied for their present positions next school year, and will, we presume be accepted, ae they deserve.
