STUDY IS RESUMED
IN ALL SCHOOLS.
Attendance for FirstDay,
According to Official
Estimate, Is $4,000
EXPECT INCREASE

Public schools throughout the city
opened yesterday morning with a total
attendance estimated at about $4,000
The attendance will be materially in
creased within the next two weeks, the
fschool authorities assert, and A Alt
man, president of the Board of Educa-
tion believes that the decrease as a
result of the fire will not be as great
as has been expected. By this evening
complete returns of attendance will
have been received and from this the
present population of the city can be
quite correctly estimated,
Through a failure to receive instruc-
tions through the mails many of the
principals failed to report the attend
ance to the superintendent yesterday.
The attendance of 40 per cent of the
schools were received. however, and
these showed a total of 147OS. AS
many of these are the leading schools
it is not likely that the remaining
schools will bring the total up to more
than $4,000 Among other instructions
sent to teachers and principals is the
following:
principals are requested to careful
ly register all pupils applying for ad-
mission to their respective schools, and
beginning Monday, July %. and con-
tinuing until August 6, to send to this
office daily not later than 1870 p. n
the number of pupils enrolled in each
class and the classification. No pupil
must be denied admission on account
of lack of ROOM"
