SCHOOLS STARRED MONDAY
Vacation Days Are Over With and
Teachers and Pupils Start in
on Long School Term.

unWelcome one as 1t called the child
rem to the various school buildings of
the city. 1t meant a scramble for
books. brushing up the clothes and
getting in ~presentable shape for the
opening of the school year. The
teachers and pupils got about all
there was in the three months of va
cation. To some it meant work and
to others work and play were both
mixed.
Over in the high school Superin-
tendent Hoff and his high school
force started off with a large attend
ance, and here as in the other de-
partments the morning was devoted
to organizing and classifying the
scholars that they might begin actual
work Tuesday morning. There we're
books to buy during the rest of the
day and the school book repositories
were beseiged the greater part of
the day in getting the necessary sup
plies for the beginning of real work.
During the vacation season the va
rious buildings have been put in
shape and many repairs made. The
largest undertaking was the moving
of the Lincoln school building on the
east side to the northwest corner of
the block to provide a site for the
new high school building. 1t was
something of an undertaking to get
the building over there. After that
was accomplished G.. Scheurenbrand
and his force of men placed a fine
stone foundation under the large
structure, and a basement was also
added for the steam heating plant.
The foundation that Mr.. Scheuren-
brand built is a better one than was
originally built, and with the grounds
nicely graded the new location ap-
pears very pleasant. The Whittier
building was papered throughout,
and four rooms in the high school
building were newly tinted. On the
southside in the Eugene Field build
ing there was but little done other
than adding a fire escape to it.
The schools start out under the
most favorable circumstances and all
indications Doint to a very successful
year.. There have been several
changes on the faculty and the new
people come with the very best of
recommendations. j. ]. Manthey is
the new principal, and there are two
other men teachers on the high
school faculty, M. d. Teeters, who

Lindsey, who has history and Eng
fish. All the teachers were in the
