THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS. They were. Opened this Morning With Splendid Prospects. A Total Enrolement of 709. Owing to the icsignation of several teachers last week, the full quota was short. The vacancies were looked after at once and new teachers examined the latter part of the week. Up to today noon the teachers were not all assigned te their respective places, but by tomor row it is expected that all will have charge of their proper school. Prof. Drummond has been very busy arranging matters to the best possible in tercst of the schools, His ability in that line is well known, and under his careful leadership, assisted by his excellent corps of teachers, there can bo no doubt of suc cess. Wc began cur visit to the schools this morning by calling at the first ward school where we found Miss Hattie La- throp presiding as substitute over the first primary, and had 44 pupils in attendance. The second primary is in charge af Miss Katie Oliver, who has an enrolement of 1; another class, however, is to be ad mitted to her room which will increase the number considerably. Miss Fulmer is teaching the seond ward school and had 45 pupils this morn ing, all bright and intelligent looking faces.

The east fourth ward is entering on its second year under the control of Miss Etta Shepard, first primary, who had Si pupils, and Miss Cora Woodroe with 20 pupils, in 2nd primary. At the high school wc found the schol ars nil taking an interest in the opening of the year's work, and the teachers busy arranging their classes and getting mat ters in proper shape for th ir duties. Our first call here was ot room 1 where Miss Edith Hanna presides over 30 brjgh looking pupils. Miss Hanna is recently from tlcnese, 111., and expressed hersell as pk-ascd with her school and surround ings. Miss Anna Murphy was found iu room 2 with the 4th and 5th grades in charge. There were 25 in attendance. Room first primary, is taught by Miss Gertie Kerney, where we found every seat occupied, there being CO in attend ance, and three in a seat.

We found that they were organizing this forenoon and by tomor row will be ready for regular work They have 50 students in attendance. 3Iuch credit is due to Mr. D. K. Barr, the j mitor, and to the school board for the improvement about the grounds of the high school building, new fences and sidewalks have been built and the grounds seeded down ai.d cleared up generally, giving it a neat and tasty ap. pearance. 3Ir- Barr informed us that they had recently purchased two new Dorrence rocking grates, to be used in the boiler; it will save in the expense of fuel from $200 to $300 anuuallv. The new boiler room, a much needed i.nprovemeut will soon be completed. All the school yards in the city have Iieen treated to new fences and sidewalks, together with other improvements, which a.lds grcat'y to the neauty fcof the sur round ings.
