BACK TO THEIR STUDIES
PUBLIC SCHOOL CHILDREN WILL BE
AT THEIR DESKS THIS MORNING.
Halliday Sessions Only VIII Be Held
for Few Weeks-In
the Suburbs.

Superintendent Goss and his assistants
about the office of the city schools have
been very busy for several days getting
ready for the opening of the schools this
morning. The janitors of the different
buildings have been scrubbing and busting
and cleaning for a week. and all the rooms
are now presentabe-
For two or three weeks only halliday ses-
sions of school will be held. This is deemed
advisable on account of the continued warm
weather. Until the cooler weather sets in
the mornings will be devoted to school
work, but the classes will be dismissed at
noon. The new building on Park avenue,
known as No. As. is all ready to occupy to-
day. 1t is a large, roomy structure, fitted
out with the best of modern school
furniture. In order to accommodate
the increase in the number of pupils
storeroom has been rented and fitted up at
Stoughton and Sterling streets. This room
will relieve the overcrowded condition of
school No. 49, An additional room has been
procured for school No. 10, and since the
close of the schools last summer small
addition has been built to No. "A, near the
cerealine works. 1t is expected that the at
tendance this year will be much heavier
than ever before. Last year the average at
tendance was about nineteen thousand, but
this year it is thought the number will be
increased to twenty-five thousand. Last
year the pupils of Brightwood West In
dianapolis ard Haughville were not includ-
ed in the reports made by the super
intendents of the daily attendance in the
city schools. While these suburbs were
part of the city by act of Council, their
schools were not actually under the super
vision of the city superintendent This year
these schools Will take the same course
of study as the city schools and will
be under the direction OF superintendent
Cess. BY the annexation of territory on
the east side Of the city school No. l, Cen
ter township, located at the extreme east
end of Clifford avenue, will be part OF the
city schools.
About the only changes in the grades this
year will be the location of the eighth-grade
pupils The A pupils, who were last
year removed from scnool No 10 to No l,
will attend that school again this year. The
BIS and s AS of schools Nos. and
will this year attend school No. 8. Build
ings 4, 8, 7, g. 8, IL, Is, q and A will ac-
commodate pupils in the eighth grade. The
trustees of the annexed suburbs will be re-
employed by the School Board this year
In the High School to-day the grades will

naturally drift to it unless the lines members

The Rumored Brice Deal.

In railroad circles yesterday there was consid-
era BILE talk about the report that a deal was
about to be ccnsummated by which the Brice
syndicate was to get control of the Cincinnati,
Hamilton & Dayton lines and consolidate them
with the lines owned by the Brice syndicate. Hao
not II. S. Ives once by a shrewd move obtained
control of the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Dayton

St. Louis & Kansas City, said he would not

Of the best railroad properties west of the Ale

fIf TIE Brlce people could get control of the c.,
H. & d. it would be a great thing for Them and
by consolidation would make some of the roads
which We're paid for with dogs and cats of some
value.' Another official said that were the rumor
reversed-that the Cincinnati, Hamilton & Day
ton syndicate had secured control of some of the
Brice lines in Ohio-he would believe there was
something in it, Another official said he could
not see how, under the laws of Ohio, these lines
could be consolidated, as they were in consid-
cradle measure parallel lines and any attempt
to consolidate them would end as did Judge
Burkes Ohio railway scheme. A railway Of

The roads between Chicago and st. Louis are

could not be confirmed, but ]. Q. Van

ion that the report was not true. Mr. Van Wrinkle
said he had always known that such position

accept it, but he thought that Mr. Cost was well
satisfied with his present position. and so
highly esteemed by President ingalls, that he
could not be induced to make any change. An

very cordial and cited the fact that when Mr..

and is considered by Oscar Murray and other
bic freight in the Central Traffic Associa-

thought the position of general freight agent OF
