SCHOOLS RESUME.

Teachers and PuplIa Return 60 Their Du-
ties romorrow-fhe New No. ..
At 9 O'Clock tomorrow morning
studies will be resumed in the public
schools of Rock Island. Vocation is
over and the pupils and teachers will
return to their tasks well rested. 1t
is hoped. and eager to receive or i'm
part instruction. Many of the teach
ers have spent their vacation out OF
town. Some have been at the north
ern lakes; others have listened to the
whisperings Of the sea and possibly
handsome young man at the same
time-down by the old oceans shore;
few have visited foreign lands. and
some. held by ties of love or duty,
remained in the city. No doubt all
have been benefited by the three
months respite from the toilsome
work in the schoolroom.
The children, too, will be brighter
at the beginning than at the end of
the school year. Most of them find
themselves advanced by a grade, and
they feel proper pride in the pro-
motion. So the schools will reopen
under pleasant auspices.
The New No. ..
Rock Island enters upon its school
year with an important acquisition
to its already unsurpassed system of
public school buildings. The new
No. building just completed at a
rising of $75. 900, will be thrown open
TO pupils. The general public was
given an insight to this magnificent
structure this afternoon, when its
doors were formally opened for in
spection by order of the board Of ed
ucation. A description of this build
ing at the present time would be SUI
perlluous, as THE ARGUS has given it
fully on more than one occasion. Let
1t be sufficient to say that it is as
handsome and complete modern
building as there is in the United
States. 1t is a 14-room building fur
nished in keeping with its general
design, an ornament and n credit
from an architectural and construc-
tioral point of view, and in it's cree
ton the board has only followed in
the footsteps of the preceding boards.
which set the standard of Rock ISL
and's public school system equal to
the best in the country.
