SCHOOLS OPEN.
The Public Educational Institutions All il
Good Shape Monpay Morning.

The public schools reopened for the
fall term on Monday, with approx
mately about 10, 900 pupils in attend
ance. Everything being comparatively
now, little was done beside assigning
the scholars to positions in the several
schools.
Some of the schools were taxed to
their utmost capacity, but others were
not so full. There are a few vacancies
in some of the buildings, but it is
thought that when all the applicants
for seats are accommodated nearly every
school will be filled. 1t is thought,
however, that there will be plenty Of
room for all.

the busiest men in the city. During
vacation several new teachers were ap-
pointed and old ones were transferred,
and Mr.. Harlan was engaged looking
after the new arrangement. Every
thing, as far as could be ascertained,
was satisfactory, and in day or two
matters in the schools will assume
proper shape.
A corps of about 250 teachers is en-
ployd by the Board of Education. Since
the last school year the following

DEATH OF WILLIAM HERBERT.
His Decease on Thursday Afternoon
at New Castle.


Passed Away Peacefully, a Lingering
fiiness-The End of an Eventual Career
A Sketch of HIS Life.
epecialcorresnondence Of Gazette and journal
New Castle, Aug. 80. William Her
bert died yesterday afternoon, about A
O'Clock. He had been i'll for year
and during the last two months he suf-
iered considerably. His death resulted
from complication of diseases. The
end was peaceful.
SKETCH OF THE DECEASED.
William Herbert was born in Phila-
delphia July 9th, 1929. He was son
OF John and Eliza Herbert and moved
with his parents to New Castle in early
childhood. Here his father, who was
cooper by trade, engaged in fishing
and was drowned while plying his occu
patton on the Delaware river June LIST,
1910, leaving the widow with two sons
and two daughters, William being the
youngest and less than IL years of age.
Although so young he manfully re-
solved to help his mother. He bor-
rowed % cents and beagn his career as
newspaper boy, being the first that
ever sold a newspaper ON the streets OF
New Castle. He also engaged in other
enterprises, leaving nothing undone to
earn an honest penny. Soon after his
fathers death he also accomplished the
feat of driving drove of cattle to
Philadelphia, being compelled on ac-
count of the sickness of his assistant
to make the latter part Of the drive
alone.
The attention of the late John M.
Clayton was called to the boy and the
eminent lawyer proposed to educate
him for the law. Althopgh ambitious
the lad proudly declined the offer and
determined to stand by his mother and
educate his sister. At the age of ID he
apprenticed himself to the New Castle
Manufacturing Co., of which the late
Andrew @. Gray was president, to
