Joymcnt. Anxiety for tho president has had Ita
effect upon society too anil cards were
withheld lor a number of affairs that had
hern p'snncd for last week and their Issue
indefinitely postponed. There have been a
few small affairs, and some of them have
been qulto elaborate, but whenever tho
fashionables have fathered In any numbers,
at tho carnival, tho Country club or tho
Athletlo club, tho merriment 1ms only been
half-hearted and it has seemed Impossible
to excite any real enthusiasm.
Tho women's Kamo at tho Country club
on Wednesday afternoon was fairly well
attended, but Saturday's gamo failed to at
tract tho attendanco that had been antici
pated and things out Dcnson way wcro com
paratively quiet. At the Athletic club thoro
havo beon games, whon tho weather would
permit, nud on Wednesday evening thcro
was tho usual hop, but on Saturday ull was
quiet thoro and tho usual week's end gaiety
entirely suspended.
Thcro has been no end of speculation re
garding the identity of tho queen and spe
cial maids of honor for tho Ak-Sar-Uen
ball, but thoso who know say that tho court
this year Is to bo composed of tho very
brightest of all Omaha'H young womou.
Of course, the question of gowns Is monopo
lizing no small sharo of attention Just at
present, for thcro nro other things to bo
considered besides tho ball, so rumor says.

PUBLIC SCHOOL TEACHERS
Superintendent I'eiime HmiIiiIiin the

nt I'rcnent,
OMAHA, Neb., Sept. 14. To tho Editor
of Tho Deo: Two or thrco of your editorial
utterances recently havo placed tho Doard
of Education In n falso light before your
readers. These editorials wero based upon
errors In matters of fact, and, knowing
tho deep Interest you havo always tnanl
fested in tho schools, and tho cordial sup
port your paper has always given thoso
charged with tho management of this Im
portant public Interest, I nm Bure you would
wish to have corrected tho wrong Impres
sions, which tho editorials referred to may
havo created In tho minds of somo persons
not well lmforraed about tho schools.
In Tho Deo for September 4 tho following
appeared in tho editorial columns:
Omaha has sixteen moro teachers on tho
staff of the public schools this year than
lait Year, but not n hIiilMh nilclltlnnnl nchnnl
room. Whero huvn tho new teachers been
pianieu;
Tho facts nro that In tho Omnha public
schools, thrco moro school rooms nro In
uso than wero In uso ono year ago. Tho
figures nro:
hcliool rooms In uso ono year ngo SCO
School rooms in uso nt tho present tltno 303
Tho facts nro, further, that tho public
schools havo upon tho staff at this tlmo
Just ono-hnlf of ono teacher moro than tho
number upon the staff ono year ngo. The
iigurcs aro:
Teachers employed ono year ngo 416
'leucliera employed nt present tlma.... 41CV4
Tho difference between tho number of
school rooms nnd the total number of
teachers represents tho number of suDor
visors, supervising principals, High school
teachers In excess of tlio number of High
school recitation rooms nnd kindergarten
assistants.
In Tho Dee of September 9, tho following
appeared in tho editorial columns:
Only ono of the five High school teachers
dropped on tho scheme of economy adopted
last spring has thus far been replaced. But
It Is early In tho school year yet.
Tho facts nro that, at the tlmo Hlch
school teachers wero to ho olected tho
Doard of Education knew, and publicly
stated, so that nny ono who cared to know
might know, that owing to largely Increased
attendanco there, another teacher In tho
commercial department of tho High school
would bo necessary, no matter what poli
cies of retrenchment otherwise might be
ndoptcd. This teacher was duly elected.
Shortly before tho schools opened she ro
slgncd. Another teacher was then elected
to fill tho vacancy.
At tho tlmo of tho election of teachors,
tho board decided to reduce by flvo and onc
half tho number of teachers employed In
tho High school, nnd to adopt a plan which
would enablo tho school to bo run with six
teachers lcs3 for the year of 1901-1902, than
would bo necessary If tho plans of tho year
1900-1901 wero continued. Tho plan wns put
Into effect, tho number of High school
teachers for tho school year 1001-1902. was
mado six less than would havo beon re
quired under tho plans In use last year, nnd
tho school Is now running upon that basis.
Since school began ouo of the regular
teachors has resigned,, and another has been
elected to fill tho vacancy.
Nono of tho teachers whoso services wero
dispensed with has been reinstated or re
placed. Tho board has carried out exactly
tho plans adopted Inst Juno.
It may lntorost you to know that, not
withstanding tho decreased teaching force
tho High school has now a membership
of 1,110", nn Incrcaso to date, of 107 over
tho average dally membership of last year,
the figures being:
Averngo dully membership 1900-1901..,. 1,303
