THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS or this city will reopen
to-day for the scholastic year 1896. We
Nnoerstapd that the number of pupils asking
admission is greater than at any previous year
This Is owing partly to the increase Of popu-
lauon. but In great measure to the tact that
our schools have been brought up to SO high a
standard OF excellence that many who hereto
lore had their children and wards educated at
private schools now select the pu bile schools
as aHording equal advantages. The applica-
tons in each district are very large, and in
some OF the districts new schools could be ad-
vantageously organized, had the trustees the
means 10 do all they would wish In all the
schools the old pupils ave the preference, and
then the transfers, and afterwards. If any seats
are vacant new scholars are admitted in order.
The trustees have considerable labor before
them for a few days at least.

Mr. John Sessford, treasurer, the teachers ap.
peared at his office ON Saturday morning, and
