Schools of Mitchell.
Monday there was a scurry-
ing around among the various house
holds of the city for the children
to get off to school, for with the
hour of 9 o'clock the fall term of
school opened. The vacation days
were over and the last hours were
employed the hardest to extract the
last bit of fun there was left before
getting down to a hard term of
school for the next nine months.
There was not much accomplished
in the first day. The pupils assem-
bled in the different departments and
enrolled; they were Informed of the
new books they were to have, and
then school was dismissed for the day
for it was a legal holiday in the
form of Labor Day
The faculty of the Mitchell schools
is increasing every year by reason
Of the great growth of the city. We
remember right we'll when ten or
twelve teachers comprised the entire
teaching force of the city, but today
it requires a faculty of twenty-seven
teachers to look after the education
al interests of the rising generation.

the following teachers, and it is
noticeable that there are quite a few

in the nature of an assistant teacher
in the primary grades. There are
so many children in this department
