tendance for the first day was much larger
than in former years There was neces-
sarily much work, az there always is at
tho commencement of q school year, but
our efficient principal and able corps OF
teachers werc equal to tho emergency.
When we visited the schools this morn.

aud zach room appeared TO be IN good
running order. everything working hsr-
moniously. Wo give tho number Of |
scholars IN each room. The number will |
be increased by over one-.bird before |
the end Of the week. This is not the
'sult OF the superintendent and teachers |
They have used the press and urged per-
sonslly upon parents tho necessity Of hsv-
ing their children present promptly
Monday morning At the opening Of the
schools, thereby saving much trouble TO
the teachers, and saving the children the
trouble of catching up with the clauss to
which they will be assigned.
We believe, from eur observations and
conversations with the teachers, and from
noting their discipline and manner Of
teaching, that our schools to-day arc in
q" good hands AZ any In tho land, and
expect by the end OF the
torn TO hear good report from the
scholars and the approval Of the parents.
The superintendsnt and tssohors have
n'ich work sui many responsibilities 10
con'snd with, aud our citizens should
take lively intsre,t in everything appsr-
tanning TO the schools, and sndsuyor In
every way possible to help and encourage

seht ana the teachers under his supervi.-
ION. 1t they do this, and show their IL.
tsrest BY visiting tho schools oeca,ionslly.
