The public schools of the city We're
opened yesterday morning for the
school year Of 190l-O2, and the attend
ance, according to Superintendent
Howell was generally a little lighter
than usual.
He attributes this to the fact that

Der Of children, who left the city on
vacations. have not yet returned, he
thinks, and next week will show an in
creased attendance. He issued orders
| yesterday to the principals of all
| schools, directing them to furnish a
| statement to him, not later than to-
morrow, showing the number of pupils
| registered in each school
The attendance yesterday al the High
| school was the largest in its history.

| as could be learned, was about $50,
| which Is seventy in excess of the num-
| Der registered last year.
Prof. Josln, the new principal, made
a brief address outlining the changes
in the curriculum and expressing the
| hope that he would have the hearty
cooperation of all the pupils in his ef-
| forts to place the Scranton High school
in the front rank of similar institutions
| in this country.
New kindergartens were opened yes
| terday in the old No ) building in the
| Tenth ward. in No. building in the
| Twelfth ward, and in No. . building in
| the Seventh ward. There were good
sized classes al each of these places.
The training school, which has been
| removed from the High school to No.

opened with a class of forty or six
| more than last years class. The forty

j. R. Dainty Charged with Imper-
sonating a Lawyer and with
False Pretenses.

\ hearing in the case of j. r. Dainty,
who is charged with impersonating a
lawyer and with obtaining property
under false pretenses, was held yester-
day morning before Alderman Ruddy.
The prosecutor, Charles Standemeyer,
was represented by Attorney Frank
Donnelly. while Mr.. Dainty's interests
were looked after by Attorney NJ. w.
Lowry.
The charge made by Standermeyer
IS most peculiar one. He came into
possession of the Holtham hotel on
West Lackawanna avenue some time
ago and while he was away in New
Yorl. an execution was issued against
the place on a judgment note for $40,
held by T.. Robinsons sons.
When Standemeyer returned from
New York he claims that he met
Dainty. who pretended to be a lawyer
SO he says, and who took him up tc
Attorney NJ w. Lowry's office for a
consultation. Standemeyer says that
Dainty seemed to be very much a,
home in Attorney Lowry's office and
pulled down several law books to re-
fer to them.
Dainty proposed to him, he claims
that he issue bill of sale to him
Dainty in return for the loan of $500
StanGemeyer agreed and the bill OF
sale was issued. He says that Dainty
took the bill of sale and gave him $500
but afterwards took the money back
giving some excuse. The place was
sold out by Dainty "A few days after the
issuance of the bill of sale.

The task of making the assessment
for the next fiscal year was begun yes
terday morning by the members of the
board of assessors. Better progress
was made than even the assessors
themselves had expected and it is
probable that the assessment will be
completed before the required time.
Acting under the advice of Recorder
Connell, the assessors decided over a
week ago to make the assessment in a
body and they all started out yesterday
morning for the First ward armed
with this years blotter and the city
ensreer's map.
The streets were taken block by block
and every property on each block was
valued before coming to the next. The
valuation decided upon by the major
ity Of the members of the board was
declared to be the proper one in each
instance and was entered on the book
Assessor Seamans said last night to
Tribune man that If as much work
is done every day as was done yester-
day there would be no trouble in finish
ing the rough work of making the as
sessment by December /, or one month
esriier than the time limit fixed by
law.
We made excellent progress yester-
day" said he, "and will get through
with the First ward before the end
of the week. If we do not have any Sc
we're weather we should be ready fol
the hearing of appeals on January L.
The assessors have decided to follow
the example of the Allegheny assessors
and will classify all compactly built-uI
property as first class, which pays full
rates.
What will the assessors consider e
be compactly built-up property Mr.
Scamans was asked by the Tribune
man.
"An business blocks and all residenc,
blocks which are thickly settled" wa:
| the reply.
Mr. Seamans explained at some lit
tie length that the main Residential
streets of the central city, North, Wes
| aud South Scranton and Green Ridg
would be included within the propert!

Where street is only sparsely set
| tied or, in other words, where there ar
numerous vacant lots between houses

as suburban or second class, Whicl

Stepping from her sheltered past.
