HASBROUCR'S OPEN
Institute Begins It's Forty
fifth Year With a Large
Number of New Entries
Youngest Pupil.

fHasbrouck Institute began its forty-ffth
year of activity yesterday morning under
most propitious circumstances To begin
with the number of new entries, those
pupils who have never before attended the
several years. and the former pupils all
came focking back. with but few excep-
tions, swelling the attendance to its nor
NAL proportions on opening day.
There are about fifty of these new
pupils Seven, an unusually large num-
ber, have entered the senior class, a large
number the junior and middle classes and
the greater proportion the grammar,
primary and kindergarten grades. OF the
seven in the senior grade five are young
men, three of whom live out of town, two
in Newark and one in Spring Valley, and
two are young ladies. All intend to pre-
pare for college There is about an equal
number of boys and girls among the new
pupils, many whom come from out of
town and several from Bayonne. Has
brouck has also reaped a rich harvest
from among the public grammar school
graduates of this city.
The youngest pupil on record is little
Master Cedric Atkinson, son of Professor
w. Patterson Atkinson, formerly of Has
brouck Institute faculty. now of the High
School This little man is just three years
of age and among the bright youngsters
in the kindergarten. He is probably not
only the youngest pupil ever. on record in
Hasbrouck, but in the whole city. Al
ready he has won all hearts.
The faculty, too are all on hand, with
the exception of Monsieur e. G. de Vilaine
graduate of the Paris University, who is
taking the place of Professor Henri Null
Ter, teacher of French and Spanish. Mon
sieur de vilaine. however, is not a new
man. He was of the faculty for some
years before Professor Muller came, and
has simply been taking vacation of two
years
Both pupils and teachers for the most
part are ''brown as berries" showing
the marks of a recent return from coun-
try and seaside life. and summer gossip
prevails during all hours of recess. As
yet the pupils are not quite settled down
to their books, but an excellent discipline
prevails during all hours of recess. As
as regular as clock work.
