About The Teachers and Schools for the Next school Year.

The School Board have selected teachers for all the departments of the Rensselaer public schools for the ensuing year. Their names and amount of salaries are as follows: Superintendent, P. H. Kirsch, SIOO per month; Teacher of High School, Miss Margaret M. Hill, S6O; 3rd Grammer, Miss Sarah E. Tarncy, $45; 2nd Grammar, Miss Amanda W. Osborne, $45; Ist Grammar, Miss Mary A. Cox, $45; 2nd Primary, Miss May Miller, $45; Ist Primary, Miss Alice Irwin, $45. Miss Hill resides at Carthage, Ind., and Miss Cox at Plainfield. It will be noticed that the names of the lower departments have been changed. Primary A. and Primary B. are now called Ist and 2nd Primary; while the Ist and 2nd Intermediate of last year, are now called Ist arid 2nd Grammar, and the Grammar school proper is called the 3rd Grammar. This last change hardly strikes ns as an improvement. ! The action of the Board in employing an expensive teacher for the High School, instead of create ing a new department which would relieve all of the other room’s, in some degree, of their crowded condition, will also be likely to attract considerable adverse criticism. For all practical purposes the High School will hereafter cost th?, .tai-payers of the town $l6O a month for teachers alone —a sipn which lacks but S6O of being aa .miich .as . paid to the teachers of all the other rooms.
