Glasgow's city schools opened for
the school year of 1915-1916 on Mon
day morning, September 18th, with
the largest attendance in the history
of the local institutions Of learning.
The plan of Prof. Williams Of OPP
ening the schools week later than
last year worked splendidly and q
full attendance greeted the teachers
when the doors swung open Monday
The school term began =
week earlier last year and many Of
the pupils were late in getting start
ed, many holding off until the second
week of school before enrolling, but
as the term this year commenced. =
week later, every pupil was ready
when the school bells rang for the
new term.
The total attendance in the city
schools to Wednesday night was 456
as compared with 37o pupils enroll
ed last year. The big increase in
scholars reflects the rapidity of the
growth of the city and the excellent
work being done by Prof. Williams
and his efficient corps of teachers. In
the high school alone there are II
pupils. Thirty six Of this number are
beginning their first year, 20 are soph-
omores, Is Juniors and six seniors.
Prof. Williams expects that this num-
ber will be greatly increased within
the next few weeks, as many from
outlying districts are expected to en-;
roll, and every day since the high
school term commenced, new pupils
have been steadily coming in.
In the north side grade school there
are 1873 pupils, 80 of whom are being
taught by Mr.. Lawton, 81 by Miss
Gaynor, 81 by Miss Harlfn and 30 by
Miss johnson. ,
In the south side school, there are
PAL pupils, IS being instructed by
Miss Parker, 36 by Miss Harroun and
IS by Miss Fair, 80 by Miss Eber-
sole, 80 by Miss Hickok and rs by
Miss Hammond and Mr.. Huber.
Prof. Williams was busy man
Monday morning when the burden of
another years work was assumed by
him. The opening day was spent
largely in assigning the pupils to their
respective classes and arranging the
routine for the coming year, all the
classes being organized and put in a
fairly good working order.
No additional courses were added
this year, as the great expense of
building the new high school and get
ting the departments already estab-
lished in good working order would
not permit it.
Students in the high school have
their choice of wide range of sub
jects, which have been confined under
different courses. Pupils desiring to
take up college work after gradual
ing from high school may select sub
jects that will prepare them for this.
Then there is a business course for
those students who desire to get a
good business training while attend
ing high school. Among the subjects
in this course are bookkeeping, short
hand and typewriting. The instruct
ors in these subjects are we'll quail
led to give excellent instruction and
graduates from this course are well
prepared to take their places in the
business world.
The Domestic Science course en-
braces many subjects and 'provide4
excellent training for those who wish
to become proficient in this line and
the Manual training course affords
excellent opportunities for those de-
string this kind of training.
To secure the best results in schoo
work there must be hearty cooper
alton between the parents and teach
ers and Mr.. Williams and his facul
ty are striving to accomplish this end
Parents can greatly assist the schoo
work by seeing that the students arr
prompt and regular in attendance ant
by providing suitable conditions TO-
home study. Students who do no
spend two hours daily in systemati
home study rarely do satisfactor!
> work. Irregularities in attendanc
and home study are the usual caus
es of failures.
The athletic work at the new higl
school has received set back by tn
inclement weather this week. TIL
