OPENING OF THE PUBLIC SCHooLs.-The re-
opening of the public schools yesterday called
together large number of pupils. The te Ichers
were all promptly at their posts ready to enter
upon the arduous. duties tor the ensuing year.
The trustees of the several districts had no
light business on hand in transferring and
classifying the difterentpupils. In most of the
districts (the first and fourth particularly
great difficulty was experienced in getting the
schools started, on account of the dearth of
proper school rooms. Rents for all proper
rooms are enormously high, and even rooms of
the poorest class cannot be obtained for less
than $500 and $500. In one school room, in the
Fourth District, it was contemplated tempo
rarily TO have two sessions, one school to hold
its session in the forenoon the other in the after
noon; but when the trustees We're about to per-
feet that arrangement, it was discovered there
we pupils enough present to organize three
very respectable schools.
In the First District, the Female Grammar
school formerly held in Corcorans building)
has been removed to Mr.. Richards building,
corner Fourteenth street and New York av-
enue This arrangement is, however, for only
one month. The school room (Richards'D
affords accommodations for only forty scholars.
Miss Robinson, teacher of the Primary school
in the First District, had 100 applications;
while only 60 could be admitted.
In the Second District rooms have been fitted
up handsomely in the Berrett school house
Many scholars, too. whom 1t was found nece1-
sary to transfer to other schools, We're 10th to
leave their old teachers, and the Trustees were
in many instances obliged to stand firm against
the tears and entreaties of the pupils. All,
however, is now working smoothly.
The completion of the new school houses
will have very beneficial effect, and will
accommodate many children who are now
necessarily crowded out, and the system of
education in this city will then be general,
and all can have its advantages. The Board
of Trustees are indefatigable in their exertions
to make these schools equal to any elsewhere.
