Rensselaer Republican, Volume 23, Number 6, Rensselaer, Jasper County, 9 October 1890 — The Rensselaer Graded School. [ARTICLE]

The Rensselaer Graded School.

The report for the first month of our graded school is so excellent that it deserves special mention in the paper. Itemized the report is as follows: No. enrolled, 384; No. belonging, 358; Average daily attendance, 349; per centum of attendance, 98.2; No. During the last few years the school enumeration has grown rapidly, and had it not been for the exodus of laboring nicn with their families from Rensselaer to Hammond, our school accommodations would now be inadequate. It is simply a matter of time until more school room will have to be provided. The schools are all running nicely and smoothly; the teachers are workworking faithfully and zealously; the pupils, as a rule, are studying earnestly and patiently, and doipg excellent work. Respectfully,

F. W. REURELT, Supt.
