THE HIGH SCHOOL ARRANGEMENTS Where Some of the Teachers Have Spent the Summer. MORE ROOM NEEDED This has been by far the busiest day since last June for the officials of public schools of the District of Columbia.- At ali the school buildings for two hours this morn- ing and again this afternoon tickets of ad- mission for new scholars were issued to long lines of applicants, while the office of Secretary Falck was besieged with seekers after information. Everything is in readiness for the opening of the schools Monday morning at 9 o'clock, for the final details were determined on this afternoon. All the teachers have re- turned to the city from summer vacation jaunts, and they attended the annual teach- ers’ meetings, which began at 9 o'clock this morning, and will continue until a late hour this afternoon. The teachers of the respective school divisions assembled at the office of their supervising principals and were addressed by Superintendent Pow- ell, in some instances by members of the board of school trustees and by the su- pervising principals. The general trend of the speakers was to urge the teachers to be patient and faithful. It was made plain that the schools are provided for the pub- lic, and not for the teachers. Instructions were given in regard to the opening Mon- day, and the supervising principals an- nounced the assignment of teachers to buildings. A meeting of the teachers of the Central High School was held at 3 o'clock this afternoon. Dr. F. R. Lane, the director of the High School, announces that the en- trance examination and the examinations of conditioned pupils will be held Monday at 9 a.m. Promoted pupils will report at 9 a.m., while new scHOlars are not expected to put in an appearance until 11 a.m. At the Business High School the admis- sion of pupils entering the second year and the examination of conditioned pupils will occur at 9 a.m. The admission of pupils transferred from the elghth grade is booked for 11 a.m. All applicants for admission to the Business High School frem other than the city public schools will be examined at the Central High School at 9 a.m. As heretofore, the manual training and cooking departments of the local public schools will be a feature of the system. Mr. Chamberlain, the director of manual training, has prepared an illustrated cir- cular, which will be distributed early next week. In the circular it is set forth that High School boys desiring instruction in manual training must attend the Central High School. The circular explains the manner in which the shop work may be followed. Pupils may either elect the technical course, which provides six hours each week for work in the shops, or they Tray choose the academic or scientific courses, and have two hours’ shop work each week. ‘The two-hour course is an extension of the plan followed in the seventh and eighth grades. The six-hour course makes a spe- cialty of manual training, wood turning, forging and machine work, with drawing. Those pupils who elcct the technical course are prepared for the entrance examinations of the technical colleges or for a more gen- eral training if they do not expect to enter college after the completion of the four years’ course here. The illustrations of the circular are from photographs of work of pupils in manval training !n the past. As scon as the classes in manual train- ing are arranged the course of instruction will begin, and this will probably be about the latter part of next week. Below the high schools manual training is open to boys of the seventh and eighth grades. New shops will be opened next week at Brightwood and Brookland. In the cook- ing department instrvction this year will be also given at Brightwood and Wood- burn. The manuzl training shops on O street between 6th and 7th streets have been greatly {mproved since the close of the last school year. # High School Student: High School students, who have passed the first year, are to report at their respec- tive buildings and in the same class rooms to which they were assigned last year, promptly at 9 o'clock Monday morning. At the same time all conditioned pupils from last year end all applicants for admission, whose names are not on the certified lists for promotions, will be required to apply at the office for directions. All other pupils, including those whd are promoted from the eighth grade and the High School students who are to remain in the first year, are to assemble at 11 o’clock—girls on the first floor and boys on the second. The pupils will probably not be detained longer than an hour Monday, during which time they will receive a few preliminary instructions and be given a study course blank, con- taining the list of books required. lt is expected that the capacity of both the Eastern and Colored High Schools will be taxed to their utmost, if not overcrowd- ed, during the coming year. At the last session of the schools every seat in all the class rooms at the Eastern was occupied and it was necessary to utilize a room in the basement for recitations. As an in- crease of from 5 to 10 per cent in attend- ance is expected it is thought that the building will not afford adequate accommo- dations. Colored High School At the best last year the Colored High School was crowded, the enrollment being 675 pupils. Prof. W. S. Montgomery, the principal, states that-he looks for at least 750 pupils Monday. By pressing into service the lecture hall as a class room sufficient space, it is thought, will be secured. Prof. W. S. Montgomery was transferred last July from the supervising principalship of the eighth division to the principalship of the Colored High School and he has entered upon his new duty very hopeful and de- termined to do all in his power to elevate the standing of his schook In speaking of the colored High School Cadets Capt. Brooks, the instructor, said that he expected to organize a battalion of three companies with the increased at- tendance of boys at the school. He will endeavor to have them accomplish much more in the way of military attainments this year than heretofore. Among the Teacher: The High School teachers have been re- turning from their travels all through this week, and report a most enjoyable vaca- tion, and seemed refreshed and prepared for a year’s work. Dr. Francis R. Lane, director of the high schools, sojourned, with his wife, at East Gloucester, Mass. Prof. C, Fontaine of the French department of the high schools passed his summer, as usual, at his home, Charmain, Franklin county, Pa. Mr. W1 E. Priest, instructor of history at the Cen- tral, also summered at his home in the Schuylkill valley, Pennsylvania. Several teachers passed the summer holl- days in New England. Miss Helen M. Rey- nolds, assistant principal at the Central, spent the first half of the summer on the Massachusetts coast, and then visited the mountains of West Virginia, while Miss Hattie Morrill Cushing, teacher of anctent history, and Mies G. Y. Brosivs, teacher of English, spent the entire summer along the New England coast. Miss Cushing also paid a short visit to Asbury Park. Miss Annie Morrow Wilson, head of the drawing departmer.t at the Central, and Miss Irene O. Young, teacher of inathematics at the Western, were ong the guests at East Gloucester, Mass. Miss Young spent the first half of the summer studying at Cam- ‘rs. Emilie A. Nora L. Hoegelsberger and Miss Hays, two popular teachers of Ger- man at the Central, spent part of their leave at Lake Chautauqua, N. Y. Mrs. Hoegelsberger was also in New Jersey for some time. Miss Ellen Golden, teacher of Latin, spent her time at Waverly, and Miss Orr, teacher of English, spent the summer at Ellicottville, while Mr. L. M. Prindell, in charge of the botany department, so- journed in eastern New York. Among the teachers who crossed the Atlantic were Miss Ulke, instructor of German at the ‘Western, who visited England, France, Switzerland and Germany; Miss Holmes of and arithmetic secured leave of absence until next fall, in THE OFFICIAL WEATHER MAP.

Bryan Virtually Reads Out of the Democ Special Disy ing Star, RICHMONTI September 19.—The kevernor of Virginia, in his own state capi- tal, was read out of the democratic purty last night by William J. Bryan, amid the approving plaudits of 15,000- people. Chas. T. O'Ferrall, life-long democrat, some time advocate of the free silver in Congress, was the victim of the scathing arraignment of the fiery young Nebraskan. His name Was not mentioned, but was conveyed in a meaning so plain that even the small boys perched under the balcony of the great auditorium understood the allusion and greeted it after their fashion. The rasping of Gov. O’Ferrall was the cne sensation of the Nebraskan’s visit to Richmond, and it was a pronounced one. It has recently become known throughout political circles and by the general public that Gov. O'Ferrall, the chief executive of one of the brightest stars of the galaxy of free silver states, does net propose to support the Chicago ticket and platform. He will emp! ize this intention sow so well known by presiding at a meeiing to be held by the gold democrats of Richmond in a few days to ratify the nominations of » Indianapolis convention of gold demo- crats. It is said here that Gov. O'Ferrall’s disaffection has caused the greatest bit- toward him throughout the state. atement is made and generally cred- Sted that he proposes to retire from act politics at the closé of his term of office and confine himself to the practice ot law. Bolting Democrats. Mr. Bryan opened his speech with a reference to the class of bolting democrats supposed to be represented by Gov. O'Fer- rall. He said they were men whose tions were guided in the present crisis by their pocketbooks and not by their hearts or heads. He said if they honestly be- lieved that Bryan's election would be in- jurious to the country they should do the only thing possible to prevent it, namely, to vote for McKinley, but that they do not po: the courage to bear the odium which they feel would attach to espousing republicanism. In closing his reference to this class Mr. Bryan branded them as trai- tors to the democratic party, and said they should never return to it. At every sentence his remarks were cheer- ed by the audience and when he made the concluding statement the enthusiasm was teyond control for a few minut Ovation to Bryan. Mr. Bryan's entry and stay in Richmond was marked by the most extravagant demonstrations toward him on the part of the people. His reception at the Auditor- {um before an audience of 15,000 was of a character to gratify his most ardent de- sire. His speech Itself, however, sa in the particular whe h> made his telling reference to the local conditions, did not stir the audience to those passionate out- bursts of enthusiasm which have marked former efforts, although all the conditions were ripe. Given an audience of demon- strative Virginians thoroughly in sym- pathy with the orator, and one would ex- pect more demonstration thah occurred. When he spoke an hour later, however, to the overflow meeting in the street, he seemed to touch the popular fancy more thoroughly, or, at any rate, the res>onse was more spontaneous. Change in Bryan's Appearance. When Mr. Bryan faced his audience at the Auditorium last night -his countenance couid not conceal the satisfaction which he felt at the ovation tendered him. He has not changed much in appearance since the memorable day at Chicago which brought him the nomination: The only thing noticeable was that the lines around the mouth, always strongly marked, have grown deeper, and he is taking on the set expression of a man who believes that he is making a great fight In a great cause. It was a highly intelligent audience which heard him, but that fact did not deter him from venturing once in a while a bold assertion as a statement of fact. When he announced that the present in- flux of gold to this country was due to the very nomination of a free silver man the audience accepted it without question and applauded. He gave a soothing application to the tender sensibilities of the free coin- age people by saying that he used the term “gold bug” in the same kindly sense of the latter when he calls the silver man a lunetic. He stated to his audience that he did not come to Richmond to teach the pecple free silvét, for that they al- ready understood, and their minds were made up about it. The gist of his talk was an exhortation to the people to stand firm to their principles, and not to be swayed from their convictions by ulterior influences. This is said to have been peculiarly ap- propriate in the present instance, from the fact that it is claimed.a great deal of pressure is being brought to bear upon the labor and ratlroad vote of this section, by people in authority adverse to the demo- cratic ticket. rye From the character of the applause and the remarks made by the departing au- dience, they were disappointed in his ora- torical efforts, but Bryan did not lose any ground in their esteem. There was no mis- taking the depth of their admiration for Bryan and their devotion to the policies he advocates. The Governor's Position. The Richmond Times today publishes the following interview with Gov. O'Ferrall: “Since I began to study the money ques- tion, which was about a year ago last spring, I have been a strong advocate of sound money. I have read everything that came in my reach on the subject, and still adhere to the same principle. I am glad to say that on November 3 I shall cast my vote for such out-and-out democrats as Gens. Palmer and Buckner, who are stand- ing on a truly democratic platform. “On next Wednesday night I hope to pre- side cver a meeting of the sound money democrats at the Academy of Music in Richmond, when it will be my pleasure to introduce to the audience the speakers of the evening.” Fireproof Storage Warehouse, American Security and Trust Go.
