The public schools of the city opened yesterday and owing to the stormy weather the attendance was probably considerably smaller than it will be later in the week. The attendance in the South Holyoke school has not been reported, but these records were made in the following schools: High school, 675; Appleton, 440; Bridge, 22; Elm, 289; Elmwood, 535; Ewingsville, 24; Highlands, 504; Nonotuck, 223; North Chestnut, 312; South Chestnut, 482; Springdale, 192; West street, 432. The prospect seems a greatly enlarged enrollment in many of the schools.
