| Ensley, September 14-(special.)- )-At S:30
 o'clock Monday morning the doors of all the city schools will be thrown open and what promises to be the most sue cessful and effective year of the Ensley schools will begin.
 For the first three days of the present week the principals of the several schools cassed more than two hundred new pu- pills. Since the close of the past session of the schools the first of last June a large number of new residences have been erected in Ensey and not one of these Is vacant. The city school census which will be officially reported next Monday will show a school population of nearly five thousand pupils of school age in the district These facts each and all would indicate a large attendance. The past session the attendance was very large, but every one familiar with !, conditions in the city expects this year
 to eclipse it by a large number.
 Since the schools closed last June the
 Ensley board of education has been very
 busy making preparations to take care of Ensley's school children. A system of forced heat is being installed in the 1 Bush school, two new rooms have been added to tho Moore school, and two new | ones to the Davis school. At Palmer Ter race a handsome pressed brick grammar school of eight rooms, play rooms, and 1 office has been erected and will be ready 1 for occupancy in few weeks. New desks have been ordered for all the twelve rooms. Every effort possible has | been made by the board of education | fr,, fl,,A ! opening. but this has been impossible owing to the difficulty in securing labor
 and the brevity of the time after the | bond money was available. The school | furniture Is expected to arrive next week and the new building will be ready some time in October The superintendent gave | out the following notice about the open ing of school in the Fifth ward
 School Opening. By direction of the Ensley board of education all pupils in the first seven grades living in Tuxedo, Shady Side, South Ensley and South Highlands, will report for school Monday morning ih the Fifth ward Until the new minor buildings is completed pupils in the first and second grades will be accommodated at the building in Tuxedo used last year. All pupils above the second grade will report at the pavilion in front of Mir W. H. Zuber's residence.
 All parents are urged to send their children on the first day of school and not to wait until the new building is completed.

 Number of Teachers Increased.
 The increase fin the school popula- ton and the enlargement of the building has made it necessary to increase the number of teachers. The schools of Ensley will be taught the coming session by forty teachers. It is thought by the superintendent and the board that the schools will have the strongest faculty ever employed and that the work done will be of the best order Each teacher has been selected for her special fitness for the work assigned her, and the faculty will rank with that of any city in the state.
 In the high school especially has the teaching force been strengthened. In this department no teacher Is employed who has not done at least four years work beyond the high school course in some good university or college Professor rid. well of the departments of science and mathematics, Is a graduate of the Uni versity of Alabama. He has had several years of successful experience and was last summer employed in the Summer school for teachers in Birmingham, be- cause of his eminent ability.
 Miss Everett Mcclure, who will teach the English in the High school has a masters degree from Judson, and has i done special work In the University of Chicago. Miss Annie NJ. Baker, the teach CT of Latin and history, is graduate of the Randolph Macon Woman's col lege, and has had one year of exper- fence. Miss Harbeck, the teacher of drawing and manual training, is a grad uate of the Thomas Normal of Detroit, Mich Mrs. Walker, the teacher of vocal music, is a graduate of an Alabama Nor nal and the Thomas Normal Training school of Detroit, Mich. With such a corps of teachers the Ensley High school can offer a course equal to that of any city in the state and not inferior to the best in the country. A laboratory has been provided for the teaching of phy- sics, and it is the purpose of the board to fit up a chemical laboratory this ses- sion.
 Ensley Is justly proud of her high school. The attendance is increasing rap- idly and it is only a question of a few years when 1t will be known as the best in the state.
