THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
From the momen the Educational
Board-rooms were open until they were
closed there was a continual rush o.
youngsters up to Mi. Leath, for permits
to attend one or other of the publir
schools. 1t 10 O'Clock there were at leas
a hundred of them-beautifuI, innocent
c~hildren-in the large room, waiting tn
get their little slip of paper which would
give them the right to attend the free
schools for the next nine months. In
ward of three hundred permits were is
sued yesterday, and it is expected that
the daily issue for the next ten DAYS will
be equal to that yesterday. There are
seven school buildings for white children
in the city, containing about fifty SCHOOL,
The organization for the session was com
pleted in all of them yesterday.
The APPEAL sent q reporter out among
those schools, to see how things were
done, and to observe the condition Of the
buildings, and ascertain the for
the coming scholastic campaign. TIE
first one visited was

by b Board during the last session and
two schools established in it for primary
purposes, under the auspices OF

the principal. He opened yesterday with
ifty-two pupils. He teaches the lower

COURT STREET BUILDING
is another of those private-honse couver-
sions. The building is not yery preposes-

ind the rooms very suitable for the pur-
poses of instruction. 1t is here that those
brilliant young ladies who made such a
decided sensation In the former exhibit
ton are taught. 1t is emphatically a bigh
school. Latin is taught. The pupils
who were there last session made
great progress in the higher mathe-
mstlcs and in physiology, and at the ex-
hibition showed plainly enough that the
intricacies of grammar and composition
were thoroughly mastered. Miss Higbee.
the principal, assured our reporter that
most Of those young ladies would be in
attendance this session. There are six
here, all lady teachers. Their
roll at present number nearly three hum

looked with immunity, is the attention
that appears to have been paid to the
broken glass during the recess. The Ia
