OPENING OF THE SCHOOLS.
New Year Begins Sept. 10-TOwnship
Schools Capacity.

The public schools of the city and of Cen
ter township will open Monday, Sept. 10.
The attendance at the city schools is ex-
pected to be slightly larger than that OF
last year. The School Board has heard
from David X. Goss, the new superintend-
ent, but once, and that was when a cable
gram stating that he would accept the po-
Sition was received.
Township Trustee Gold says that the
eleven township schools have a seating ca
pacity of about 1900. This years school
enumeration, to use round numbers, was
2,100. against 1900 last year. He said the
attendance last year averaged about LOO
pupils daily, or a littie more than 80 per
cent. If there is the same average this
year the seating capacity of the schools
viii be tested to its full extent.
