The public schools Of the city were
opened yesterday for the enrolment Of
the old scholars. To-day the new
scholars will be enrolled, and il is 3
matter Of serious doubt if the accom-
nodstiOns as they existed last session
will begin to do for all the children who
will present themselves.
For years the school accommodations
here have been inadequate, and there Is
no hope that the school-buildings nov
in process Of erection will be reads
fer occupancy for months and month;
TO come. In this situation it will bs
necessary to secure numerous tempo
rarv school-rooms in addition to those
used at the last session.
