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.

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.
