idea of Building New High schoo is
Understood 70 he Abandoned for
the Present-MnEic City
Gossip.

Tuesday the public schools will open and
It is expected that employment will be
given to about 100 teachers. Some Of the
rooms being prepared are not ready, but
will be before the week is out. Then the
number Of teachers and ~janitors will be in
creased. An entire course OF study has
been prepared by Superintendent Mclean
and this will be carried out unless the
Board OF Education desires to make some
changes later on. Most Of the buildings
have been placed In good repair and the
early finish of some Of the additions now
under consideration is expected.
Under the management Of the present
board and with the advise Of Attorney
Sutton and with the hearty consent Of
Superintendent Mclean quite a saving has
been made in the matter of supplies and
the placing Of contracts. While the board
will naturally come out with an overlap at
the end Of it's fiscal year provision will be
made for the payment of teachers and other
employees.
1t is understood that all idea OF build
ing a high school building with the funds
at hand has been abandoned, as 1t Is con-
sidered by the members OF the board that
the money can be put to a better use at
the present time.
Labor Day.
Today the business houses and the banks
will be closed in accordance with the usual
custom and the South Omaha labor unions
will celebrate the day at Syndicate park.
The program Of the days exercises was
printed in full in The Bee yesterday. As
far as was given out yesterday there will
be no change in the program.
Taking a Census.
The Ministerial association of South
Omaha through a committee of which Rev.
George VanWinkle, pastor of the Baptist
church is pastor, will proceed shortly to
take a religious census of the city Of South
Omaha. This work will probably consume
some little time, but those who are in
terested consider that the information OBJ
tanned will be valuable.
sheep Here.
Feeders of sheep assert that there is
going to be a continuance Of the demand
for feeder sheep at this point. Nebraska
stock men are taking in all the sheep
they can conveniently carry and 1t is ex-
pected that the feeding of sheep will be
engaged In on a large scale this winter.
1t is asserted that probably 1000, 900 sheep
will be sent to feed lots in Nebraska this
fall.
Meetings Probably Postponed.
While both the city council and the Board
Of Education are billed for meetings to-
night 1t is possible that an adjournment
may be taken by both bodies on account of
Labor day. There is an understanding that
the council will adjourn until Tuesday night,
but about the Board Of Education nothing
can be stated with accuracy. There is lit
tie for the council to do, but with the board
1t Is different, as the schools open Tues
day and final orders may have to be given.
