PUBLIC SCHOOLS OPEN.
Opening Exercises of The Main

Held This Morning.

This morning the opening exercises
of the public schools of this city were
held, large number of pupils and
visitors being present, and very IL
teresting program was prepared for
the occasion. The school buildings
were crowded to their utmost capacI-
ty, and it is expected that the enroll
ment will reach between 900 and /,
100. The program consisted of short
addresses by members of the faculty
and by others, all interesting, in
structive and highly edifying. Prof.
Woodley, superintendent of the
schools. delivered an especially force
ful address ou the subj,c of docs

porated statistics, drew parallels and
gave to the students present many ap-

of education. Rev f. J. Currie and
W. M. Conner also delivered very
interesting addresses.
In his speech Prof. Woodley dwelt
especially upon the fact that the par
ents of the children, the patrons of
the school, gave too little real live in
terest to the school work. He show
ed that this school is one of which any
community might justly feel proud,
and compared it with some of the
leading seats of learning in the state,
showing that a graduate of this
school stands better chance OF OBJ
