The SCHOOLS REOPEN.
Attendance at the High School
About the Same as on the Opening
Days of Other Years-Improve-
ments Made About the School
Building During the Year.

Yesterday was the first day of school
for the fall term. ana yesterday morn
ing found tn" school rooms filed with
earnest faced children. who we're
ready for their tasks after idle days
of the summer vacation and busy
teachers, who occupied themselves i'm
arranging the classes and planning for
the work of instruction before them.
The attendance at the High schuol
proper was 200 scholars, and accord
ing to comparisons made by city SUI
rerintnndont Carr. tho number was
ABOUT the same as on the opening day
or last year. Reports had not been re-
ceived last night from the schools
throughout the city. but il was learned
from other sources that the attend
ancc was somewhat light. The lethar-
Gy that the Semi-Centennial Cclchra-
tions could he responsible for, might
n&vc had something to do with the
school Childrons staying at home. 1t
Is expected that by the fore part of
next week tagging energies will be re-
lived and there will he a full enroll
mcnt of the scholars.
During the vacation period the
school board did heaps Of work in the
way Of improvements about the school
grounds and in increased accommo-
dations, and the happy result was at
traCtivc surroundings about the
| schools that needed attention, and
abundant room for pupils.
There were numerous minor i'm
provcments that went to make a com-
| nCndable ani creditablc showing on
| tho whole, but conspicuous among the
| c IeuSive changes were those at No
| 4. No. :, and No. schools. No 4
| grounds were not more than a barren
waste, but now ii has attractive sur.
| rCundngs that are sure to awaken the
artistic pride of the children, as
| should he true of all school grounds
At No, O. the grounds have been com.
| pletcly altered and the former uninvit,
ing appearance has been DELIGHTFULLY."-
| transformed. A new iron fence has
b'en erected about the grounds. The
| improvements at this school are no
! quite hni' q.
The principal change at no : SchOO
and most important one, is tn,
| equipping of four rooms with singl,
desks. This is move that calls fo
more than passing notice, and tn,
poIcy of the board to supply tn,
schools with this style of desk viii
bc commended for many reasons.

Chairman Collins mildly rebuked him
by declaring that in important mat
te!s like this one 1t was the duty or
committees to act without delay.
The incident was hushed for awhile,
until Just about adjournment time,
when Mr.. Nealon. dissatisfied and
visibly displeased with the course the
matter had taken, called for and in
sisted that the committee dispose of 1t
forthwith. The city solicitors opinion
was in the hands of one of the COM
mittee and it was only n question of a
few minutes to consider it and pre-
sent a report During the discussion n
motion to adjourn was made and Soc
onded among those i'm favor of the
three years contract In the mean
time Mr.. Nealon. MIR. Evans anl Mr..
Whitfield were clamoring for meet
ing of the committee, while the others
we're crying more loudly for the putting
of the motion to adjourn, claiming II
had precedence. Chairman Collins was
reluctant to put the motion. lie was
in favor of disposinG of the veto, but
there was such cry from the other
side that to escape from the quandrN
he put the motion to adjourn, which
was carried by the vote Of seven to
four, as mentioned beforc.a
The veto will he acted upon in the
meantime and should come up at the
next meeting, September %.
