City Superintendent Addison p. Po-
| land looks for the usual yearly in
crease of from 1900 to 1900, which
will make an aggregate enrolment of
$4,000 in the Newark public schools.
| Rev John A. Dillon, superintendent
of parochial schools for the diocese of
| Newark, looks for total registration
of 10000 in the local schools under his
supervision in this city or an increase
of 1000 over last term.
| The first local school to open it's
| doors will be the Ohed Shalom
| Hebrew School I'm the synagogue
name, at High and West Kinney
| streets. The term commences on
| Sunday morning at $3.50. and there
| after sessions will be held on Tues
day and Saturday afternoons and
| Sunday morning. Rabbi Charles r.
| Hoffman, who will supervise the
school, anticipates substantial gain
| in membership as the school is open
to the children of members of all
, iitOASW CONGREGATIONS III TIC city, anu
its work Is supplementary to the cur
riculum of the public schools which
the pupils also attend.
| ParoehiaI Schools to Open.
On Tuesday morning the twenty
! six schools in Newark. as well as all
| the others of the 1875 throughout the
diocese, will open. Registration will
] be on the opening day, and the term
/ Will commence as soon as the sisters
and brothers in charge have listed
their pupils.
| Extensive repairs and additions
have been made during the summer
and all is in readiness for the recep-
ton of the pupils. The sisters and
brothers who have attended the six
weeks term at the. summer school at
the Catholic University in Washing
| ton have returned to Newark with
many new ideas for the perfection of
| details of management, as well as the
latest developments in approved
methods of teaching.
No additional parochial schools
] have been built in Newark, but the
| cornerstone of 100000 structure will
be laid next Sunday on the Hudson
Boulevard IN " Johns parish in
Jersey City. and plans are being pre-
pared for another school in st. All
drew's parish, Bayonne. Increases
corresponding to those looked for IN
| Newark are anticipated in the 1926
parochal schools in the diocese,
! which had an attendance of $4,000
| last year.
Public Schools Last. s
] The last to get under way will be.
the public schools, the term COM
mencing ON Monday, September IA.
with enrolment on Thursday and.
Friday of next week. While a dozen
or more teachers are warbound In
Europe the officials hope all will have
returned within a week, but should
any of them be unable to get home
in time substitutes will fill in. The
authorities have no definite informa-
ton as to which teachers are out of
the country.
With additions being built to four
schools and plans in course of prep
aration calling for one new school
building and three more additions, a
decided step toward the enlargement
of the local school system Is under
way. The steady Increase in the num-
! Der of pupils has made it necessary
that the Board of Education act ac-
cordingly. /
OF the four additions now being
erected, one is expected to be finished
and ready for occupancy about
week after school opens on Monday,
| September IA. Another, 1t is said, will
be finished later this month, and the
other two will be completed early
| next year.
/ The twenty-room addition to the
West Side School is now practically
! finished All that remains to be done
is to scrape the floors, install desks
and other furniture and put in neces-
sary fixtures. The addition carries
out the intended plan when the school
was first erected with the exception
that the new addition contains
twenty instead of sixteen classrooms,
as was at first planned.
The addition, which will probably
be ready during the week of Septem-
Der 20, contains, in addition to the
classrooms, toilets, stairways and
teachers rooms.
! The week following is expected to
mark the completion of the new Haw-
thorne Avenue School addition, of the
than the West Side Schools extern
sion. This addition will consist OF
| but eleven class rooms.
Work on the two additions-in fact,
on all those under way and planned
is being rushed at topmost speed so
| that the new rooms will be ready for
| the pupils as soon as possible. The
! forces of workmen on the first named
additions have been increased and the
| buildings are rapidly being made
ready for occupancy.
Lafayette Street School.
The addition to the Lafayette Street
School has now progressed to the
| third floor. This is the largest addi-
ton that is being erected to any Of
the local schools. 1t will contain
twenty-eight class rooms in addition
to a gymnasium and other rooms.
In the first year that the small
school board started building opera
tons the Lafayette School was erect
ed with fifteen rooms and an audi
| forum with the intention to balance
the building later with an addition of
| fifteen rooms. In the meantime con-
ditions changed and the added in
crease of pupils made it necessary
that twenty-eight new class rooms
| be added.
The addition is expected to be fin
ished some time in February.
An addition to the North Seventh
Street School will probably be opened
| in March. 1t will contain sixteen
class rooms, an auditorium and gym
nasium. The work has progressed up
to the middle OF the first story.
The addition makes 1t necessary
thai the Sixth street end of the old
school building be considerably re-
arranged, and this work is now be-
ing done.
Bids have just been opened calling
for the erection of an addition to the
Thirteenth Avenue School, to consist
of eighteen class rooms, an auditorium
and gymnasium.
