VACATION DAYS
ARE At AN END
BUTTE LADS AND LASSIES RE-
TURN TO THEIR STUDIES

ABOUT SIX THOUSAND
PUPILS TO BE ENROLLED.
Superintendent Young and the Prin-
cipals Exchanged Ideas This
Morning.

At 9 o'clock on Monday morning the
machinery of the Butte public school sys-

intendent Young. with the intelligent CO.
operation of the teachers. has so arrang-
ed matters that it is expected the start
will be made without friction.
Upwards of six thousand pupils will
doubtless be enrolled the first day. and in
some schools there is certain to be a
little o~vercrowding at the start. but the
arrangement for meeting these are as
nearly perfect as possible.
Superintendent Young met with the
principals at the High school building
this morning, and the final consultation
occupied the entire forenoon. Many val
liable suggestions We're made. and where
these do not conflict with the regulations
laid down by the board of education. they
will be adopted. Where there is such a
conflict. the old regulations will govern
until Mr.. Young has an opportunity to
bring the matter before the board for
consideration.
The pupils of Lincoln school who last

year be assigned to the Webster for three
or four weeks only. until the new tenn

is completed.

gathering exercises ten min
utes earlier. and that time is saved. The
result of this generally has been to
keep from hardness and improve the at
The pupils are not required to
come until 9, but the tendency is to bring
the slow ones in a little earlier. Supt.
Young said there would be no objection
to adopting the plan in Butte, after the
first week, although it was something
that would be left to the discretion of the
principals. The latter expressed them
selves as being unanimously in favor of
it.
Supt. Young announced that Miss
Bracken. of Prang's Art Institute. Chi
cago. who came here for the institute
which closed last night, a consented to
remain over for another week. She
would meet the teachers of the first and
second grades at the High school build

nesday at the same time and place. She
would meet the teachers of the third,
fourth and fifth grade, and Thursday the
teachers of the sixth, seventh and eighth
grades.
In a general way. it was decided that
for the first week there is to be no change
in the regulations that prevailed last
rear. After that, the adjusting process
will begin.
