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.
