Some Have Morning and Others Afternoon Sessions Of
CIasses-AI Report at R eguIar Schools.

The public schools of this city will
open on Monday morning after being
closed since December 81. The re-
opening of the schools has been
brought about as the result of ar
rangements made between Superin-
tendent of Schools Samuel p. Shuli
and Fuel Administrator Oliver f.
Ramsay and later favorably acted up
on by the Board Of Education.
All of the schools will not open and
none of them will have the same
number of study hours they have had
up to this time. The plan, as out
lined by Superintendent Shull is to
have the pupils of two schools use but
one school for their classes wherever
possible, thus closing down five
schools. AS arranged by Superinten-
dent Shull the pupils of one school
will hold classes in that school from
$3.50 o'clock in the morning until
2:s0 o'clock in the afternoon. Az
1890 o'clock pupils Of another school
come to that building and hold their
classes until 4:SO o'clock, thus giving
four hours Of study to all.
School No. Z, at Paterson street
and Madison avenue, will remain
closed. The pupils of that school viii

school No. 2, in State street, will
be closed and the pupils attending
this school will report at School No.
s, at Cortlandt and Easton streets, at
1880 o'clock, remaining until 4:30.
The pupils of No. school will .ueet
from $3.50 until 1880 in their own
school.
No. school in Smith street will
remain open but the annex, now
closed. No. school pupils will hold
classes in their school from $3.50 to
1880, and the No. 10 school pupils
will go to No. school from 1890
until 1880.
School No. 6, at Jobnstone and
Barclay streets, will be closed, it's
pupils going to School No. 8 in New
lille street from 1890 until 1880
o'clock. No. school students will
report at No. school from $3.50 to
1880.
The high school will not open. The
high school students will attend the
grammar school from $3.50 until
1890 o'clock each day. The gram
mar school students will have their
classes in their own school in the af-
ternoon starting at 1880 and continu-
Ing until 4:30 o'clock.
School No. 9 will continue open,
there being no school with which the
pupils of this building could CONF
bine. Nothing has been done con-
corning the opening of No. school
at Maurer.
Superintendent shull stated this
morning that he wished the fact en-
phasized that all of the teachers and
pupils will report to their regular
schools, even If the sessions are not
to be held in that building. After
the pupils have reported they will Sc
cure their books and all that is nee
essary for them to carry on their reg
ular studies in other schools
By thus doubling up at five of the
schools, coal is being saved in five
of the schools in which no classes will
be held and the students of all of the
schools will be given four hours of
study each day. Many of the teach
ers, who do not reside in this city,
have been in Perth Amboy ever since
January 2, the day the schools were
scheduled to open. The forced vaca-
tion will mean that the time lost
must be made up later in the year.
There may be a possibility of doing
away with the Easter vacation of ten
days.
st. Mary's parochial school in Gen.
ter street and st. Stephens Polish
parochial school in State street have
both been closed since the city
schools closed in order to conserve
coal Both of these schools are ex-
pecting to follow the example of the
city schools and reopen on Monday,
possibly holding sessions somewhat
shorter than usual.
