READY TO REOPEN
SCHOOLS SEPT. 6
Senior High School Expected to
Be Taxed to Capacity

Preparations are being made by
the school department for the OPEN
ing of all public schools IN the city
on Tuesday, Sept 6. The school
accommodations committee has
spent about $4,000 in the repair of
buildings and an additional eXpen-
ditude of about s12, 900 has been APP
rropriated inSthe reconstruction of
The old Burritt school at the cor
ner of Main and East Main streets
TO serve temporarily as a Junior
high school unit.
Principal Slade Returns.
Most of the principals and many
OF the teachers who have been
away from this city during the past
two months are returning to make
ready for the opening. Principal
Louis =. Slade of the Senior High
school returned yesterday from his
summer home in Massachusetts and
is already at work on pre-term ar
rangements. His assistant, Miss
Mile G. McAuley, will be back on
duty on Thursday September !,
Supt. Stanley II. Holmes is expected
home during the latter part of this
week.
Senior II. S. Crowded
The Senior High school with an
estimated enrolment of about 1900
students will be crowded to it's ca
pacity. the junior high schools will
be better off this year than last year
because of Il large amount of re-
pairs in the buildings of the Central
Junior High school and the old Bur-
'.itt school, and the elementary
schools will be able to take care of
their enrolment in every place eX-
cept the Northend school and the
Monroe school section, if the new
Robert J. Vance school on Vance
street is not finished on time.
There will be few changes in the
faculties this year, due probably to
the increases in salary granted the
elementary school teachers. The
Senior High school will not have any
more than five new teachers, the
Junior high schools should have less
than u and the elementary schools
will lose few teachers.
