THE PUBLIC SCHOOL OPEN
ING--There was quite stir among
our boys and girls on Monday
morning They had had two
months of vacation to frisk about
and grow fat, but the first of Sep
tember had come, the teacher from
whom they had separated the last
of June, looking wan and weary,
had returned with fuller cheeks
and brighter eyes to greet them at
the tap of the 9 o'clock bell, and
the little folks were very natural
ly in a hustle in gathering togeth-
er, their armful of books, to be at
/ the schoolhouse in time. The morn
/ ing was bright and the tempera-
tUre delightfully."- refreshing, and
the "act of resumption" was much
easier that has often been the case
in former openings, with the sum-
mer heat still remaining in the
sweltering atmosphere. The de.
partments opened as follows: Miss
Mary E. Spruance, Second Pri-
mary, 20 scholars; Miss K.L.Storm
First Primary, Al; Miss Lizzie Nc
Dowell, Second intermediate. "A

mediate, SO; Miss Emma Hough

Parrot, First Grammer, 80; and L
Irving Handy, High School, 38. The
