Schools Enrolled
444 Students
Yesterday
Large First Year Class in High
Schoo!
Unusual Interest Manifested
by Parents Who Witness
Opening Exercises

Long before the school bell began
to ring after it's summer vacation,
groups of happy children with
bright, alert faces and eager, ex-
pectant smiles, filled the streets on
their way to size up the new teach
er and to see what effect this new
thing called code was going to
have on the system, and if things
were really going to be as different
as those who spoke and wrote on
the subject from time to time prom
ised that they would be.
And they weren t disappointed a
bit-for without a doubt new
spirit was manifest. Greater pre-
paration had been made beforehand
and things were ready without the
confusion that has in many previ-
GUS times marked the one-time
dreaded first day Of school,
The teachers were all on hand
Monday morning and spent most
OF the day getting acquainted and
getting their rooms, books and
supplies in readiness for business
like start on Tuesday. Then OIL
Monday evening, Superintendent
Morris called all Of the teachers
together in the High School build
ing for general conference and
an informal get-acquainted meet
ing. After a few minutes of gen
eral discussion the primary, gram
mar, and high school departments
held conferences in separate rooms.
Plans were formulated whereby
those children who were condition.
ed III one or more subjects at the
tclOse Of last years work would be
permitted to make up the defici-
ency in marks by examination in
the conditioned subjects. 1t was a..
greed to dismiss the others after
the closing exercises and the dis
tributiOn of books.
All three Of the school buildings
presented scenes Of great activity
yesterday morning more than the
usual number Of parents attending
the opening exercise. At least a
dozen mothers visited the primary
school and greeted the teachers.
Newark is unusually fortunate
, IN having a sufficient corps of
teachers to begin the school year.
Two teachers are yet to be secured,
, an assistant to the primary teacher
, and one for the fifth and sixth
grade overflow. This difficulty was
, iobviated in the case of the primary
school vacancy by putting some of
the children on part time until the
primary, assistant can be secured.
The grammar school vacancy sup
erintendent Morris hopes to fill i'm
mediately. Some waste space in the
hall of the grammar school has been
: fitted up for an additional room
which will be used by the teachers
> Nor rest room during intermis-
tions and by Miss Snyder for de-
linquent students if there are any
who fail to make good in their
classes at the end of a given period.
: AS one of the teachers expressed
it last night, "The prospects are
better than ever for really good
school this year.
The presence of so many parents
e and the interest unaffected by them
r in the education of their children,
. lis regarded by the teachers as an
: other hopeful sign for an unusual
