Lane followed Mr Boals Ho made no changes in the system but brought about several chniiges in the books used Ho remained in olllco two years nnd was then succocdod by H. M. James , then assistant superintendent of Dublic instructions in Cleveland , O. Mr James found himself iu charge of twelve buildings , attended by about four thousand pupils , in care of less than ono hundred teachers A striking feature of the schools of that time was the poor attendance This was attributed to the poor condi tion of the streets , very few bolng paved or graded and to some parental indlllofonco to the advantages of regu lar attendance In a list of a score of nthor cities , of similar size , tabulated by Mr Jarnos , Omaha stood at tlio foot of the list in the poicontngo of attend ance That gentleman at once gave at tention to this subject with gratifying results The increase both in enroll ment and attendance has boon marvel ous and has taxed the board beyond its ability to provide shelter for these crowds Casoraonts , hallways and store rooms in school buildings have boon hastily arranged and all sorts of build ings have boon * rented These schools In fair condition have boon enlarged and ton now houses , each soatlng from five hundred to eight hundred pupils , with about the sumo number of small buildings varying from oho to six rooms , have been erected within the last five yoatB In 1887 , Mr Hlnos , the fourth princi pal of the high school , accepted the po sition of state superintendent of Con necticut and resigned his position in Omaha Previous to 1882 , Omaha had a smaller high school class than any other city of its size in America The preparatory high school class was taught only in the central school This was not convenient for pupils living in the outskirts and to prevent these pupils from leaving school , this grade was established in several of the larger buildings H. P. Lowib was olootod the fifth principal Today the high school contains ono of the largest ol asses in the United States , oven comparing Omaha with many cities larger than herself This is proof that the care bestowed - stowed upon it by Mr James , Mr , Lewis ana the board of education is recognized and appreciated in the city , The trcmondous inoroaso of 245 per cent in the publlo school enrollment , uguinst the very moderate increase of 25 per cent in private schools , attests also the popularity of the former The Omaha business college , established by E. W.

Kuramo- row as a teacher of calisthenics , and latterly professor of gymnastics in the high Bchool The purchase 6f a quant ity of supplementary reading matter was an improvement ut this time und in accord with the most advanced oduca- tlonal theories Ab another inducement to take the high school course , the experiment of adding a mnnual training school was begun in 1884.
