THE OMAHA DAILY DEE: WEDNESDAY, SEDTEMDER C,' 1003. OPENING DAY FOR SCHOOLS Rain Makei Attendance ImalUr Than on Borne Former Occaiioni. PUBLIC AND fRIVATE BEGIN WORK ladlcatinns Are that at Utah School Siuarrsldeat Attendaeee Will II l.araer Than Isnal. Many a prospective klndergarttyr and pi Unary grader did not fT'i away even with the bunch at the opening 6f schools, Tues day morning because of the chilly weather and the steady downpour o( rain. Princi pals aald the enrollment on the Aral day thla fall may run behind those of other year when the opening; day waa fair. The sloppy streets and the leaden skies k( pt parents Iri all parts of the city from sending tender younuaters to school and they decided to wait for fairer meteorologi cal conditions. The public schools began the year's work without delays, accidents or unusual events, so far as reported to the office of the super intendent. Only a few teachers were de tained by sickness or other reasons from taking charge of their classes and sub stitutes had been arranged for In advance. The slxa of the staff was increased by seven Instructors for the three additional rooms in the new Deals school, one at Druid Hill, one at Monmouth tVaik. one at Central Park annex, called the Omaha Heights school, and the new manual tteun Ing department ai the Pacific school. The Pacific manual training school will he In operation within a few days. The slow arrival of materials and supplies caused a slight delay. High School Shows Increase. At the high school the advance payment of tuition for outside students Indicated a larger attendance from this source than ever fcefore. In addition Principal Water house Is counting on an increased enroll ment of Omaha students. No attendance reports will be In until Wednesday morn ing, . howeVer. Superintendent Davidson does not anticipate any Increases In the grade schools. : The manual training department at high school is to he given a chance to spread out some by a provision for extra room made by roofing over a siiace between the new and old buildings. The work will cost about 700, and a permit has been secured from the city for the construction. The. classical departments of Crelghton university and nearly all the parochial and convent schools and academies opened Tuesday. AH anticipate a bigger attend ance than ever before, but were unable to give accurate figures until later In the walk. The " commercial colleges and business universities began the season's work Mon day with membership rolls showing grati fying advances over last and previous years. rnnntr ftehoola Open. County fhierlntendent of Pc.hools Bod well reports today that of his ninety-nine teachers forty-three, or 4J per cent, are new ones. Most Of the rural schools of the county opened their sessions on Monday, the only exception being those county schools which are within the environment of Omaha. 8 WHEHK MEN OK POETHY GUT OK sentimental Side of Transition from Vacation to "U-nl." "Now, Johnny, I will not call you again. You know school begins this morning. Bister Nellie lias been tip this hour and is nearly ready for school," remarked a fond Omaha mother Tuesday morplng to her 10 year old boy.' No doubt the same remark fell from the lips of a hundred fond mothers. "Alright, maw, I'll be up In a few minutes. Bay, Nell, Where's my shoes. I believe you hid them on purpose," drawled urn dujt ne aonnca nis new scnool suit In many cases the name of the boy was not Johnny, nor that of the girl Nellie, but anyway the Omaha' public schools opened Tucsaay 'morning, fcnd that meant much In moat of the homes. In a collective sense Johnny and Nellie were on hand even If In some cases the boy did have to do a rapid sprint to get under the wire before the bell rang. w nue me nrst aay or scnool is not a representative one of the school year, yet It has particular significance In the life of a boy or girl; has no less significance to the loving mothers, who In most cases have been busy for weeks arranging new garments for the young hopefuls, and means a busy and anxious day for the teacher. -v From time immemorial the sight of & group of school children tripping merrily to their lessons, care free and buoyant, has moved poets to tune their lyres to the music of the child and to cause sages to stop and gather new Inspirations. It Is one of the sights that makes the whole world kin. ' As Omaha's army of school children about lft.OOO gathered at the various places o learning Tuesday morning many little In cidents occurred along the way to remind the "old folks" of the days that are no more for them. Clasped arm In arm were -twos and threes of the older girls, exchang ing girlish confidences and telling of vaca tions spent. Girls somewhat younger told each other of the new dolls they had re ceived and of the many doll dresses they had made. "The littlest girl" had to come to school with her mother, older sister or a brother, and took a doll with her, just for the, first day. In a half-frightened way she looked around the kindergarten room and held tightly to her dollle. A for the boys! "Bleaa their little hearts, , every one of them. There are no bad boys," says Bob Burdette. . , It Is said It Is harder for a boy to give up his summer vacation than It is for a girl. To change from the outdoor life, with the trees, birds, animals, old and easy clothes, sun-tanned skin, the ole1 awlmmln' hole. playln Indian, penny shows and all the . rest of It, to new clothes and the confines . of a school room, s not the easiest task for boy. 'But. all the boys were on hand and stood at attention while the girls , kissed the teachers. ONLY URE AND 0STR0M FILE Two landlaates for Coital? Commis sioner Go n Record at Court House.
