HO FOR SCHOOL ONCE MORE
CHILDREN TAKE UP THEIR
BOOKS AGAIN.
Sacramento Alive With Little
Folks Who Quit Their Play
and Resume Work.

1t was evident to the most casual
observer Of life on the streets that there
was a change in the tides of children
affairs; for their little hearts We're in
| a fiutter, their brows were perplexed
! and the pavements resounded to their
! tread.
Few adu1ts-unless they have chill
| dren of their own-realiZe that four
| thousand little folks in this city
| trudged the streets on their own bust
ness intent yesterday; yet the figures
| show that the school army of Sacra-
mento is as large as four full regiments.
| And investigation at the book stores
showed that thousands of dollars viii
| change hands this week in order that
| the rising generation here may be
properly equipped for the labors before
| them
Superintendent Erlewine and all the
| Principals and teachers of the city
were busy yesterday, too, aiding their
| pupils in the work of selecting the
| books that are to be their companions
| for the year.
IF you could see the eager faces of
| the thousands of little ones preparing
themselves for the struggle to get on
in the world" said Superintendent
| Erlewine, you would believe that they
are in earnest in their work 1t will
| be several days, however, before the
| classes get fully organized and strike
a steady pace in their work"
| In all the departments yesterday the
principal business of the teachers was
| to classify the pupils and instruct them
| regarding the books they will need.
| To-day the classes will be systemati-
cally organized and their labors will
| formally begin.
In this connection it is we'll to bear
in mind that the schools of Sacramento
and the school children compare favor
ably in every particular with the
| schools of the best cities in the Union.
As Sacramento is a city of homes and
| thrifty people-as shown in striking
manner by savings bank deposits, it's
| children are able to reap to the full
| est extent all the benefits of modern
educational methods.
