THEsCHooI- BUILDINGS THRoNGED TODAY AND
THE NEW SCHOOL YEAR BEGUN.
The scenes in the vicinity of the public school
buildings in the various parts of the city to-
day demonstrated that the school vacations
were over. The calendar had already an
nounced that mOurnful fact to the thousands OF
children who had watched their days of free
dom growing beautifully less. The interior of
the buildings were filled with the hum of voices
and as the familiar bell sounded its note of
warning the children took their accustomed
places. and the work of the new year was fairly
1naugurated- Like all first days the time was
principally occupied in arranging the classes
schools were reported to be up To the average
attendance, and when all the returns are in the
scholars will probably show an increased num-
Der OF pupils, as each year more pupils adj
ded to the lists. The changes in the personnel
OF the teachers are but slight, and with the ex-
ception of the changes in the rooms caused by
the promotions from one grade to the other the
opening of the new school year is marked by no
departures from the system which has been in
operation. Many of the private schools of the
city Will also open to-day.
