CHILDREN REGISTER
GETTING READY FOR OPEN
ING OF SCHOOL. MONDAY.
Principals Report Normal increase in
Numbers-New Additions to Schools
Partly Relieve Congestion.

The fail term OF the Public schools viii
open Monday morning, and children are
registered today and tomorrow at the
sixty school houses. the principals having
returned from their vacations to take
charge OF the registration. The additions
to the Burnett Street. Hamburg Place, AD-
ington Avenue and South Eighth Street
Schools are ready for occupancy, and tne
addition to the Thirteenth Avenue and
South Eighth Street Schools should be
ready by October l or Is. The average in
crease in the school population of Newark
ranges from 5000 to 5000 a year. Only two
buildings are now leased for use as school
buildings.
The registration in all parts of the city
was normal, according to the principals i'd
charge. In the schools where additions
have been made ready to receive the pupils
the increase in registration has not been
noticeable, probably because the children
who were to be transferred went to their
old schools to receive the necessary per-
mits from the principals. In the Hamburg
Place School the increase in registration
was about one hundred, and in other dis
tricts it was on the same scale.
]. Wilmer Kennedy, who was recently
appointed assistant superintendent, was at
his old post in the Miller Street School this
morning, to take the names of the young
sters. He will organize, open his school
and get 1T in good running order before
leaving 1t to take up his new duties. His
successor has not as yet been appointed
and there are many speculations among the
principals as to who will get the position,
for the Miller Street School is large and in
a desirable part Of the city.
1t is not known as yet whether a local
man or an outsider will receive the APP
p%ointment.

day classes. but at present There are small
prospects of it.
1t is probable that in a short time As

will have a series Of grade meetings
started. All OF the graduates of the Nor
NAL School have received classes. besides

COAL FAMINE
LOOMS UP
'GRIMLY
Danger That ConfrOnts Us
If Sudden Cold Snap
Should Come.

Whether coal will go to famine
prices during the coming winter is
something that interests all the people
of Newark, as well as those of the en-
tire Atlantic seaboard.
Should there be an early cold snap
this fall a shortage in the supply will
be found a serious matter, and If the
inter should be hard and prolonged
the results would be almost appalling.
Already there is a far larger demand
for the so-called steam sizes than the
coal producers can fill, and this, they
say, is bound to increase by the very
nature of coal production until manu-
facturers turn to the use of other sizes
of coal or to soft coal.
This condition, the coal operators
claim, is due in part to the nature of
coal mining and the various difficulties.
such as increase In the price Of sup
plies which the producers have found
lately, but chiefly, they maintain, to a
great scarcity of labor. Mines are pro-
ducing thousands Of tons of coal a day
less than their proper output, because
miners are scarce and refuse to work
more Inan a certain humber OIL udyS u
month.
On the other hand, the greed of the
coal barons is held almost entirely re-
sponsible for the actual and threatened
scarcity.
Whether or not the householder will
be i-nconvenienced depends entirely on
the severity of the weather. There is
nothing which could be termed a scar
city of coal in the household sizes; in
any event the pinch probably would be
less there than in the steam sizes. But
there is so large q demand for coal of
all sizes in excess of the supply, and
the quantity Of coal now on hand is so
much less than the normal because of
a late spring, that there is no telling
what suffering will be entailed by a
sudden and decided weather change.
