having had them closed for three
months.

younger ones, seemed eager and delight
ed for the chance to get back to school,
although a good many Of the boys had
rather surly expressions on their faces
which seemed to denote that the vaca-
ton period had been all too short for
them and they could stand a few weeks
more Of rest, OF rather a few weeks more
in which to indulge in those vigorous
pastimes which have taken all Of their
time during the summer months.

registration Of the children when they
arrived at the schools. All of the teach
ers were on hand bright and early, hav-
