THE PUBLIC SCHOOLS.
THEY WILL THROW OPEN THEIR POR
TALS TO-MORROW MORNING.
Something About tho Schools of Ameri
cas—The Number of Pupils Already En
rolled—The Proportion of White nnd
Colored Pupil* Given.
To-morrow morning at 8:30 the public
schools of Amotions will throw open
their doors snd begin their thirteenth
scholastic year. i
For the past week Superintendent
Bizien has been kept busy, at his office,
enrolling the names of pupils and issu
ing admission cards and he expresses a
great deal of satisfaction with the out
look for a busy, prosperous year for the
schools.
During the week the applicants for
admission cards thronged the superin
tendents office and up to laat night 1,347
names bad been enrolled—that number,
of course, including both white sod black
pupils. Of that number 810 are
colored'pupils, leaving 637 white ones
enrolled for the next year, l’rofesaor
Bisien says that about all of the negro
pupils have already registered, but that
they will not attend school as regularly
or begin as early in the season os the
whites. The white pupils, he says,
come In slower, but once in they nro
very regular in attendance; on the othor
bind, the colored pupils vie with each
other In seeing how early they can regis
ter, although it may be weeks or months
before they actually begin attendance,
as they work In the cotton fields during
the fall, to a great extent
The number so far registered shows a
considerable Increase over last year and
that will be augmented as the whites
begin to come in regularly. In anticipa
tion of this very Increase, six additional
teachers have been appointed and many
Improvements made in the school build
ings.
About the Jackson school building, as
renovated and enlarged at a cost of
•bout $20,000, there Is an air of stability
and grandeur reflecting credit on tbe
city.
Situated on one of the prettiest lots in
the city, surrounded by beautiful shade
trees, the building and gruunds are well
adapted and arranged for school pur
poses. With spacious balls extending
lengthwise and crosswiso, sixteen large
and well-ligbted acbo 1 rooms, a beating
system of great simplicity, lavatories
and perfect sanitary arrangements, play
grounds unsurpassed for comfort and
beauty, the Jackson-street school Is In
deed a charming place for the children
of Amerlcus. Although it could hardly
bo recognized now as the Farlow Col
lege, yst svsry year adds to the sweet
memories and endearing associations
that cluster around the institution.
The addition of four rooms to the Mc-
Kay-hlll School house, making It a
thirteen-room building, will accommo-
modato all the pupils that may apply for
admission.
For the coming year there are engaged
twenty-eight teachers, enough to pre
vent overcrowding the rooms In the
school or overworking the teachers and
giving, of course a greater opportunity
to the pupil.
Aroericus Is proud of her public school
system and she may well be, for in its
thirteen years of existence, not one
pupil, white or blook, has ever been
turned away on account of lack of room.
Professor Bizien speaks in glowing
terms of the coming scholastic year for
its outlook It brighter than was ever
hoped for.
The pupils are ready for the opening
of school, and Monday morning the
bright and happy faces of hundreds of
little ones will gleam with pleasure at
roll call.
Tbe boys and girls of Amerlcus are
proud of tholr schools and take a deal
more interest in them than one would
think.
The board of education will meet
Monday afternoon to fill* any vacancies
In the corps of teachers, and It will bo
their sad duty to select a successor to
Miss Annie Gyles, whoso death occur
red only recently.
Tbe schools will open for business at
8 o’clock Monday morning.
A New Scheme.
II. A. Harris has a captivating scheme
that I* sure to take. He issues a "pre
mium purchase ticket” to Ills customers,
from which tbe amounts of purchases
are punched; and when goods to tbe
amount of $10 have been bought Harris
throws in a “chromo,” which is a cray
on portrait of yourself free, mado by the
Acme Copying Co., of Chicago, from
your photograph. Specimens can bo
seen at Harris' 303 Lanjar streoL
At tho Uaptfat Tent.
The Baptist church in conference last
Sunday adopted important changes in
the deaconship. Six deacons are to be
elected at the October conference. The
pastor will preach on the subject this
morning for the special benetU of tho
members, but the public generally are
invited to be present and hear the ser
mon.
