THR MORRIS STREET FREE CoioRED SCHOOL,
This building, which was occupied for nearly Two
years by tho Freedmens Bureau as school Tor the
coiorea chiiuren OF tho city, was recently suren-
dered to the Board OF Commissioners. On the re-
organizaton.of tho Public Schools, among other
changes IL was determined to devote tho Morris
Street School House to tho tuition of tho colorod
children Tne school was opened for this pur-
pose last week, and though tho attendance was
aim on the first day, it has since steadily increas-
ed, end there are now nearly four hundred pupils
enrolled, while others received daily Since
the rooccupation OF the school by the Board IL has
been thoroughly rehttcd, and il now the best
and most complete school building In tho city.
The Board have spared no pains to bring the
Morris Street School to perfection Tho services OF
an experienced corps OF toachers haye boon OBJ
tanned, and tho facilities for both the intellectual
and physical culture Of the pupils aro unequallod by
any school in the city. The location Of this school
renders it admirably suited for tho purposes in-
tended, as the houses in the vicinity are occupied
principally by colored persons. In the arrange
ment OF the school, great care has boon taken to
render the pupils comfortable, and q largo play
ground on either sda Of the building affords ample
space for the recreation OF the pupils during tho
receRs.
The first floor Of tho building is assigned to tho
Primary Department, where the coored children
Of both sexes aro taught their ABC's piano

the voices OF the children nni.e in singing the
hyrans, which are pnrt Of the exercises Tho second
and third floors assigned to the female and male
grammar departments. Attached 10 each story are
four comfortable cass-rooms, well yontilated and
furnished with stoves. Five classes can be easily
managed by tho teachers, as ono remains in tho
large room, but OH an emergency others could he

The school has accommodations for 800 or 900 |
pupils, and though only fraction Of that number
has been enrolled, yet the Board anticipato full
