| THE REopENINd OF THE FREE ScHooIs.-The
first Monday in October has long been the opening
dav of tho Free Schools OF this city, and at an
early hour yesterday morning the streets in the
vicinity Of the different schools were alive with
children anxious to recommence their studies and
to have their names registered During the vsca-
ton the Board OF Commissioners have perfected
several changes i'll the organization Of the schools
We have already alluded to the Morris street
School which has been set apart for tho education
of the colored children and which has steadily in
creased in favor since it was organized. Fifty
additional pupils were enrolled Yesterday, making
the number registered nearly five hundred This
school was opened two weeks ago, and is now in
full operation. 1t is patronzed extensively by the
coiored population, and wihsoon equal in popr-
larity the private eoored schools now IN the city,
THE NORMAL. SCHOOL
has been changed into a girls grammar school,
where the higher branches of the English language
are taught but select classes are to be formed
where pupils can obtain the instruction that will
| at them to become teachers. About four hundred
pupils we're registered yesterday, but the morning
was principally occupied in arranging the classes
and accustomiug the scholars to the discipline OF
the school. The Commissioners have made ar
raneements for the accommodation of between five
hundred and six hundred pupils, and should this
number be accepted it will necosstate sn election
OF two or more assistant teachers. At present the
Principal, Vice Principal and five Assistants con-
stitute the corps In arranging the buil1ng it was
found Necessary to furnish new settees and other
furniture for the Assembly Hall the contract for
portion Of these was awarded to MIR. c. AL
sREcHT, in Wentworth street, near Pitt. Notwitll-
standing tbs comparatively short notice, these
settees, &c, were furnished in ample time
and reflect great credit upon the maker,
while some articles Of school furniture that we're
ordered from the North have failed to reach the
city. The Normal, or more properly the High
Grammar School, is under the control of the fol-
lowing teachers

THE ST. PHILLIPS STREET SCHOOL
Is designed for both girls and boys, the former.
however, being only in the primary department
This school has also been reftted during the vaca'
ton, and is now capable OF accommodating from
nine hundred to one thousand pupils. About
eight hundred we're registered yesterday morning,
and from the crowd that stood before the gates We
Judged that many who came with that intention
were deharred the privilege on account OF their
hardness, and would have to return the next day
The school is divided into three departments
first and second grammar and the primary. There
are several classes in each department, and the
accommodations in the shape Of class rooms, &C.,
are thorough and complete. The teachers are:
First Grammar Department: Principal of School

TIE MEETING STREET SCHOOL
Has become quite popular since the occupation of
that in Morris street by the colored pupils. 1t is
unfortunately too small and confined for the num-
Der Of pupils that apply there is no other free
school in the Upper Wards. At present it is im-
possible tor the Board to extend the privileges OF
education BY occupying other buildings. The de-
struchon Of the Friend street School, and the
assignment of that in Morris street to the colored
pupils has necessarily prevented many from avail
ing tneNlscIVcs OF the advantages OF Tree euuca-
ton; but We trust that, with returning prosperity
an appropriation will be made that will enable
them to rebuild the lower school, and furnish
others for the children in the upper section OF the
city About two hundred pupils were enrolled in
the Meeting street School The teachers are
