To be acourate, about 640,000 ‘children of New York went back to school. They came from sky-raking tenements and upholstered apartment-houses, with | ~ elevator and haliboy trimmings, and the funny thing about it all—the thing that shows the really respectable size of Greater New York—was that while out in the town of Richmond, which is :on Staten Island, two hundred sun- burned country boys and girls were trooping into a typical little old school- house,at Public School No. 147, at Bush- wick avenue and Slegel and McKibben | streets, Brooklyn, an army of all ages, 8,500 strong, was jamming the class- Yooms and overflowing into the street. | ‘The little Richmond scho4l-house on the Fresh Kills road is the smailest Greater New York, and the big biick, stone and marble affair with new idea glassrooms and nickel-plated fittings in Brooklyn is the largest. 2,800 In This School, ‘Two thousand eight hundred boys and | @irls crowded Public School No. 1, one , Of the largest in the city, at Catharine, Oliver and Henry streets, when it opened {ts doors, Henry street opposite the main entrance of the school was a mass of children and parents before the school gong rang.
