THE SCHOOLS. They Open Up for a Hush in Fall Business. LARGEST ATTENDANCE KNOWN, There Are One Hundred Pupils In the High School Alone Twenty-One Seniors. OTHER SCHOOLS BEGINNING TODAY. .THKl'L'UUC ICIIOOLS. All work and no play makes Jack u dull boy, and it is equally true that no work and all play makes him perhaps a still duller boy. It was with almost universal gladness that the pupils of tho Paducah public schools ictumed to their studies this morning, after n vacation of three months. The schools opened somewhat later than other public schools, but they opened with a rush, and there was something pleasant as well as familiar In tho joyous ding-dong of the eovcral clanging school bells. Books, slates, tablets, satchels nnd book etraps and a few lunch baskets wcro much in evidence, and Supt. Mcliroom wns the busiest man In towu. The teachers arc all fresh aud bright from their summer trips and visits, and expect to do better work than usual. Mrs. May was the only one ill on tho openiug day, and Miss Lizzie Chapeze, the substitute, opened school for her. It Is now impossible to determine the enrollment. Supt. McBroom, however, spent most of last week is-Euing entrance cards, and today worked incessantly at it from 7 : 15 a. m. until 11 :30, aud most of the nftcrnoon. The enrollment on the opening day last year was 18CG, nnd Supt. McBroom estimates that this year it will equal, if not exceed, 1950 or 2000. The high school attendance is the largest over known, there being au even hundred at the start, witli a probability of several more. There are twenty -one in the senior class, thirty in the junior clas and forty-nine in the ninth grade, or frcshtnau class. Should twenty more come in these three grades, a new teai'lier will have to bo provided. As it is now there are really more than two teachers can successfully instruct, it is thought by many. Miss Chnrlottc Fields, who was re-i lected to the position of teacher of vocal music in the public schools fur the ensuing term, returned yesterday from Detroit, where she spent the summer, and resumed work this morniug. Miss Fields is a charming joung lady with many admirers iu Paducah who will warmly welcome her back. i'uof. iutfield's tcnooi.. Prof. C. B.
