NEW QUARTER STARTS AT THE NORMAL; NIGHT SCHOOL CLASSES OPEN
The public schools opened yesterday after the Christmas recess with an unusually large attendance.
The one change in the teaching force was that O. J. Franklin, who filled the vacancy left by Leonard Hozlid, in manual training.
The first semester will end Feb. 28, the second June 20. With the elimination of the Easter recess there will be eight months of school instead of the usual nine. The parochial schools also reopened yesterday.
Teachers and pupils declared they were glad to be back, as the prolonged closing for prevention of influenza had made vacation monotonous.
Attendance at night school was rather light. Room remains for additional students in cooking, sewing, and painting. The instructor of the telegraph class suggests those wishing to enter the course come at the next meet, 7 p. m. Thursday, as a review of the entire work will start them. Students may enter at any time in the typewriting, shorthand, and bookkeeping as the work is largely individual.
The new quarter started yesterday at the Normal school with twenty-three additional students. Classes were organized in economics, French, English, observation, theory and art and algebra. The model school resumed its sessions.
The county training school began a week ago. Its third quarter starts Feb. 17. Because of the enforced closing for influenza, each quarter will consist of eight weeks instead of usual ten.
