SECOND DAY OF THE SCHOOLS.
4 Considerable Increase i'm Attend
ance in All the Districts.

ance in All the Districts.
The second days work of the new school
year was completed yesterday with great
satisfaction to the teachers and the super
intendent Everything in the adjustment
of all the particulars of the management
of the schools was provided for and
Supt. Ashmore considers the organization
perfect, and that 1t was attained in
very complete and satisfactory manner.
Many additional pupils were received in
the schools, the number entering day be-
fore, being increased at every school In
the city.
The lower grades in the Henry street
and Chatham schools, are so crowded that
a new adjustment OF matters in these
grades will be necessitated. Whatever
this adjustment may be- it will be made
during next week The accommodation
of sufficient room, and school advantages
are restricted by the great numbers in
these grades, and the attainment of the
best results are hampered. Transfers, in
many cases, to other schools in which tho
corresponding grades are not so crowded,
will probably be made.
A meeting of the normal class of the
schools was held yesterday afternoon az
4:30 o'clock for the purpose OF outlinins
the work for the class for the coming
year. 1t is the purpose of Supt Ashmore
TO devote close attention to this feature
of the school work In order that the teach
ers may be rendered the aid that neces~
sary is derived from n normal course
and thus be better prepared for this work

TYBEE ROAD LITTLE DAMAGED.
ST. Augustine Creek Bridge the
Worst Part of 1t.


Superintendent Saussy, of the Tybee
road, went over the greater portion of the
line yesterday to determine the amount of
the damage it had sustained by the storm.
He left the depot on hand car and trav-
eled by this means until it's further pro-
gress was stopped by the accumulation of
trash upon the track This was about four
or five miles from the city, and from the
cars stopping point, Superintendent Saus-
sy began his tour of inspection a-foot.
Walking on the thick and yielding bank
of marsh grass, stems and weeds that the
wind and storm forced-tide had driven
upon the tracks was extremely difficult,
and the trip was consequently rather an
inconVenient one.
From the 7-mile post to Ft. Pulaski sta
tion, about 1912 miles from Savannah, the
road was covered by this trash with no
intermission but from that point on the
track was clear, as the road-bed is high
err in that section, and the tide did not
sweep over
Washes we're found to be infrequent
and i'm most cases of very slight moment
as only small holes had been made. The
most serious wash outs were at the trestle
near the lighthouse, where s feet of bank
was WdSutu OuA ull inc cast riiAu ~ oAA 1iiN
west side Another hole 20 feet long and
feet deep was washed from the south
side of the track on the island, and one
50 feet long and a foot deep from the
south side, near Estill station.
St Augustine bridge is in very badly
damaged condition.
Superintendent Saussy says the damage
to the road is much less than he had an
ticipated. The work of clearing the trash
from the track, he says, can be completed
in a weeks time by four men. This force
he intends to put at work Monday. He
thinks so cars of sand win fill the wash
outs.
