THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
A Rush Of Applicants for Tickets Of
Admission.

To-day was the first day for issuing tickets of
admission to new pupils applying for admis-
sion to the public schools. There was greater
rush than usual on the first day. This was ex.
planned by the fact that the time for Issuing
tickets has been contracted into three days.
instead of being extended over q week. as has
been the custom. Tickets were issued this
morning from the offices of the supervising
principals in the several divisions. These gen.
tlemen were at their Offices for the purpose
from $50 to 10 O'Clock. Some of them had to
continue their labors until after ten o'clock, as
at that hour there were still many waiting.
They will resume business again this evening,
between $50 and O'Clock, and tomorrow and
Saturday at the same hours as to-day. The
process by which parent or pupil gets ticket
is substantially this: They lind outside of the
supervising principals office two or three
teachers sitting at tables, who ask the prelimi-
nary questions, as to name, age, residence &C.,
and to fill out some OF the blanks on a little
slip or ticket, which is handed to the appIi-
cant. The applicant then steps in line and
passes in review In course OF time before the
supervising principal, who asks further ques.
tions, and completes the ticket by assigning
the candidate to a school and signing his name
The pupil will present the ticket to the school to
which he is assigned next Tuesday morning.
In the colored schools the rush was not SO great
as in the white schools. Superintendent Cook
said this because the colored people are
not generally such close readers Of the news
papers as the whites and therefore were not SO
generally posted. Many of them will not apply
1or admission until the schools are opened ne xt
week.
In the first division the schools will be some
what embarrassed and crowded, on account of
the loss of the building corner of 22d and
streets, which accommodated twelve schools
