GLYNN CoUNTY's SCHOOLS.
The Attendance Is Far Ahead of
What Was Expected.

What Was Expected.
Brunswick, Ga, Oct 3.-The greatest
number of pupils ever recorded on the
opening day of Glynn's public schools was
noted when supt. Orr and the teachers
began enrolling them yesterday. There
were 4S6 in attendance, andsas more than
10 per cent. more will show up during
the week, it is safe to say that in the
white schools alone there vial be over 800
pupils.
The smallest number of pupils in a class
Is two, and they are in the graduating
class OF the Glynn High School, while the
largest number Of pupils in a class is sew
enty-four, and these are the little ones
that are in the chart class of the primary
school.
The large number of pupils recorded
bears out the census report compiled by
Supt. Orr, who, after the enumerators had
reported no increase. went to work, and
by his own personal and arduous laDOrs,
compiled a census report that showed
Glynn county was due 81 200 more from
the state school fund than she was then
annually getting, and thus saved to the
schools here 1920 per year for the next
five years.
1t is believed that the present force Of
teachers win be adequate 10 handle the
great increase and efforts to that end Will
be made. It is also believed that the add
ditional pupils that are expected to enter
this week can be accommodated and We'd
cared for. Supt. Orr has his schools thor
oughly organized and as soon as the pu-
pills are properly distributed in the classes
assigned to them they viii work smooth
ly There are still two vacancies in the
country schools and these will be flee
later.

Russian method of preparing il goes Ions
way TO contribute to the fine taste of the

"samovar" plays the principal part. The
"samovar' is the utensile (made Of copper
or BRASS used only for boiling he water.
In the middle there is kind of chimney
or fire receptacle, around which fresh cold
water is poured int0 he "samovar."
Burning charcoal or. wood is thrown into
the chimney, and ii usually takes about
quarter of an hour before the water begins
to boil, this being announced by volume
of steam from under the cover. Then the
boiling water is poured upon the tea in
the pot. and the latter placed on top Of tn
"samovar" to keep it warm, as tea cosies
are unknown in Russia. The infustiou Is
made strong, but only about a fiftn or
quarter of a glass is filled with il, the rest
being filed up with boiling water. A
slice of lemon, or, milk is added, according
10 taste. There is no respectable house
holder in Russia without one or more
"samovars." Around it the family ana
guests assemble TO drink tea aud chat for
hours.

PRIVATE SCHOOLS WELL FILLED.
Large Attendance at Those Which
Have Opened.


The majority of the private, like the
public schools, opened this week. and re-
port large attendance, though numbers
of pupils are as yet ont of the city. the
Dewey celebration, Washington day. and
yacht races making them unusually late IN
their return home. Including the absent
ones who have expressed their intention
of joining with those already enrolled
many of the schools have all they can ac-
commodate. In some cases the increase
in pupils over last years record is nearly
100 per cent.
At the Savannah Academy. which opened
last year with twelve. there were twenty
two this year on opening day. The Ogle-
thorpe Seminary, Mrs. Young. prime PAL
also began it's scholastic year Monday. Be
ing asked a similar question about the
public schools, she said that no pupils had
as yet been received ON account of thar
cause, but it is possible that there may
be some later in the season.
Mr.. Ormond b. Strong of the Savannah
Preparatory School will not begin his
school un<il Oct O. He has already thirty
I'VE pupils enrolled, and as the total num-
Der of the school will be limited to about
forty, he has places for only a few more
Like the other principals. he attributes
the acquisition of none of his pupils to
the condition of the public schools.
This is the first year of this institution
and the showing made argues a most sue
cessful career. Since the publication of
the prospectus Mrs. John Hardee, who will
teach both vocal and Instrumental music
has been added TO the corps of assistants
The Morton School for Boys also opened
under auspicious circumstances. The aver
age attendance on opening day, said Prin-
cbpal Morton, has been seventeen hereto
fore, while this year It is thirty-four, and
this number will be increased to- forty or
fifty within a few days; sixty is the school
limit, and We have now in sight pupils to
within ten of that number.
There are many smaller private schools,
all of which opened with full attendance.

PRINCE SUIT DISMISSED.
Motion for New Trial Withdrawn by
Attorneys for the Road.


Attorneys for the Road.
The motion for a new trial that had been
made by the attorneys for the defendant
in the case of e. L. Prince against the
Savannah, Thunderbolt and Isle of Hope
Railway, was dismissed yesterday at their
instance.
fhe case has been pending for some time
in the City Court and was one of the best
known damage suits that has appeared in
the history of recent litigation In savan-
nah. At the last term of court the plain
tiff recovered Judgment against the de-
PENDANT in the sum of 5000, to which ex-
ceptious were fled and motion for new
trial made.
Mr.. Prince was injured by car of the
company while riding his wheel across it's
track, at its junction with the Waters
road. He received injuries that We're
CHASTITY and permanent. losing one of his
arms. The case was bitterly fought and
there was much conflict of evidence. 1t is
said that the company offered the plaintiff
$500 to settle the case before it came to
trial, and that he refused the offer. 1t is
scarcely likely, II this be true, that the
railway succeeded in having much chopped
off the verdict, as a consideration for the
dismissal of the motion for a new trial.
