The Savannah morning news. (Savannah, Ga.) 1900-current, 1904-10-04

The Savannah and Chatham county
public schools opened at 9 o'clock yes
terday morning for the work of the
creased enrolment and last night
Supt. Otis Ashmore said the opening
was the best in the history of the
schools.
The reports from the country schools
have not yet been made, but in the
city schools there were 6.437 children
in their places as against a total of
1896 on the opening day last year.
The increase of AL consists for the
most part OF white children, there be-
ing an increase of 334 in the white
schools. The fact that this year the
schools opened on Monday and last
year on Friday may account in some
measure Tor the increase, though there
is a healthy growth under any condi-
tions.
In the High School there is a clear
gain of Y. This increase is undoubt-
eddy due to the fact that this year
there are no tuition charges. The
opening day demonstrated the wisdom
OF the action of the Board of Educa-
fion in adding an assistant lady
teacher to the High School faculty
This year there are three grades for
girls in the High School, as against
two grades last year.
Everything moved off smoothly,
completely demonstrating the eff
cheney of the system that has been
built UP by Supt. Ashmore. All the
teachers were in their places, and the
children went promptly to the proper
schools and the proper grades. There
was an absence of any confusion, and
work started promptly at the opening
hour.
Forecast of Grades Perfect.
The forecast of grades, MADE
by Supt. Ashmore, was perfect
in every detail. So accurate
had this work been made that
preparations were made in every
grade for the children. Every child
was given a seat, except at one or two
schools where there was congestion
of such a character that no adequate
arrangement could be made to meet
the demand. The great majority of the
children will be accommodated, how
ever. before the close of the week.
The greatest congestion is at the

CITY SCHOOLS OPEN WITH
INCREASED ATTENDANCE
Work of the New Year Started Promptly and
There Was an Absence Of Confusion

Anderson Street School. There are
enough children on the waiting list of
this school to nearly organize a new
grade. By means of transfers many of
these will be given seats in other
schools, though some will have to be
kept waiting for time Mr.. Ashmore
desires that all parents whose chill
dren have not yet been entered in the
schools put their names on the waiting
list at once, in order that he may
make definite arrangement regarding
transfers.
kindergarten Room in Use.
The room heretofore used for kinder
garten purposes had been fitted out
with desks before the opening hour,
and the room was nearly filled with
children. The few vacant desks viii
all be taken up by to-day, cards having
been sent to children on the waiting
list that seats were vacant and that
they would be accommodated at the
academy to-day. The wisdom of the
Board of Education in taking up the
kindergarten room for use as a school
room was amply shown.
There is sim room in some of the
higher grades in all the schools, the
congestion being almost confined to the
first grades. In great measure all
can be materially relieved within few
days, with the possible exception of
the first grade in the Anderson Street
School, mention of which has been
made heretofore.
Heavy Demand for Books.
AS soon as the opening exercises
of the school had been concluded the
teachers gave the final instructions con-
corning the textbooks The certifl-
Gates required under the law to be
pasted in the old books were taken to
the different schools by the teachers
and pasted in old books which can be
exchanged.
Shortly after the children were dis
missed, and the usual scramble for
textbooks followed. Connors' Book
Store reports. that yesterday it did
the heaviest school book business in
its history. During practically the en-
tire day the store was thronged with
children, seeking to buy and exchange
books.
This morning theFegular work of the
schools Will commence. Lessons have
been assigned and recitations will be-
gin in earnest. There is no reason
why there should be any delay, so per-
feet was the preliminary adjustment,
and the work in all the schools will go
on just as though there had been no
summer interruption.
