Vet Ferfsttinf Tha CaiMren Provisions for the re-opening of the San Francisco schools have presented s problem of extraordiaary magnitude but the situation has been met with energy characteristic of the Ndw Sun Francisco. Twelve temporary struct ures have been erected, and ten more are in course of construction. Monday July 23rJ. was an vontful day in the history of the public schools An enrollment of 27,000 is reported by the authorities a much larger percent age of the former registration of 40,000 than was expected. The number has steadily increased this week, and it is expected that before the term is over the number of young ''twigs" under going the bending process of our public school system will nearly approach the normal figure. The reduced attendance is accounted for by failure of many children to re port immediately owing to change of address and location. Others have temporary homes in nearby towns, their parents only waiting the rebuilding of their homes to Verame their residence in San Francisco. Aid for the rebuilding of the schools is coming in from all parts of the United States, in sums large and small. The spirit of generosity displayed will make a permanent impression upon the minds of the children of the fire blighted oity, and contribute greatly to the developement of brotherly love and patriotism.
