Twelve hundred of the proudest children
to be found in the city, little girls with
perpetual swing to their short skirts, and
little boys ready to challenge any other
boy Who cast a slur on their new posses
sion, reported, were duly received and
seated at School No. 20 on Danforth ave-
nue., this morning at nine o'clock
Everything went smoothlyand there was
no overcrowding.
On Friday, when the school was thrown
open 70 the public, it was announced that
the school would open for regular sessions
on Monday morning. The children who
had been attending the afternoon and
regular sessions of School N. Is, and the
children who had been attending the ses-
sions held in the 'Adinks's" rooms, Ocean
avenue near Dwight street, were told to
report to the new school on Danlolth
avenue, at nine this morning, and tickets
OF admission were distributed to the prim-
airy pupils The regular teachers on the
STAFF at the time old School No 70 burned
down two years ago, and have been
teaching No. 20 pupils in their temporary
quarters, ever since, were also told to re-
port with their classes and di so. Tne pu-
pils from the Minkss rooms marched 10
the new school with their teachers.
Everybody, both teachers and puplls,
seemed greatly pleased with the schooi
and its accommodations. Although IN
the rSeighborhoood of seventeen hundred
children were rendered schoolless at the
burning of No. 20 School two years ago,
only twelve hundred of that number re-
ported for re-admission, and the directors
are still wondering what has become OF
the other five hundred children
1t was evidently expected that there
would be considerable crowding at the
o9enfrg of the new school, and new puplis
,o-A not 10 be received until the begin
ming of the 1nidwfnter term, next Monday,
so that not over thirty new pupils maze
anplication this morning, but it is expect
ed that the number will be very large
next week. 1t is also expected that many
more of the old pupils will return during
the next few days, and the 'Mlnks
quarters. for which. under present cir
eumstances. the Board of Education has
10 need. will be retained in case OF an
oyerllow emergency, until returns are
