The schools in the city ana many of the county were opened yesterday to an unusually large number of students. The registrdtion of pupils in the high school and the ward schools exceeds that on the first day of last year from r to l5 per cent. The total number of those entering the grammar schools of the city was approximately eighteen hundred against about sixteen hundred last year, and those of the high school numbered two hundred and ninety five with something near fifty wEo came but did not register, thus making good increase over the preceding year
 At the high school every means was used to get the students prepared for the actual work of school as soon as possible. All of the students were brought together in the assembly room. and there they were directed by Prin- cipal A. K. Stabler to the various teachers for the classes. Copies of the provisional program of recitations for this semester and the manual of the high school were handed to Nthe stu dents to enlighten them as to the schedules of recitations and the regula- tions of the institution. The manual is something new in the high school and Professor Stabler deserves high praise for preparing the work.
 Things in the student life there are already assuming fornf Those inter ested in athletics of the coming season are making a worthy effort to organize strong football team, and they are encouraged in this task because they realize that they have the best of foot ball material to choose from.
