morning will be seen numerous familiar
professions. composed of the youth of the
national capital on the way to the various
graded and high school buildings, to renew
their studies and recitations for the coming
nine months. These professions will serve
as reminder that the vacation period is at
end for the children of the public schools,
and that they must turn their attention to
the duties of school life and deny them
selves many of the privileges enjoyed dur
ing recent months.
Three months ago the youth of the city
turned their steps from the school build
irgs in happy frame of mind. pleased
with the prospects of the good time they
were anticipating upon the close of school.
The warm, lazy days of June held induce
n.ents for pleasure and play hard to re-
sIst. and when the pupils were finally re-
leased from the obligations of study and
confinement in the school rooms was at an
end there was joy among the juveniles.
Though they were glad to gain their re-
lease three months ago, they will be almost
equally as glad next Monday to surrender
their freedom and enter once more upon
their school work. This will be especially

rolled among the great army of youthful
seekers after know edge, and yet timid at
the thoughts of assuming such RESPONSE
billties and mingling with many other
boys and girls. The mysteries of the kim
dergarten will be revealed to the beginners.
and they will struggle with the intricacies
which fall to the lot of the chart class.
but their timidity will soon pass away and
in its place with their predecessors, will
come self-reliance and confidence, and the
first process In the development of good
American men and women will have been
completed.

various rooms in many of the school build
fngs throughout the city and there have
