EyrsIse scHooLs-One Of the moe. interesting aud
valuable deparment Of the system Of popular education
in our City that Of the Evening Schools Let any Of our
citizens step into the first Public School building which they
zee lighted up and they win be lees surprised than graft
fed the spectacle that will present itself Hundreds OF
pupils Of ell ages above fourteen year earnestly perusing
those studies from which they debaed during the hours
usually devoted to labor there nightly assembled for
improvement in the various branches taught in these
schools The Female Schools specially interesting
they often embrace large classes Of domescs and others
who are 30 much confined to their household duties The
Sixth Annual Report Of the Board Of Education Evening

t6nsve cir uatop We learn from this Report that the pro
jet for establishing Evening Schools first carried into
effect in the winter Of l547e with SIX schools which regis
tired 1924 scholars and reported 22i the at

There was a much larger attendance the second term at
which time several schools added the original
number The number register was G,976, with
average attendance Of $3.50 The expenses for the term
were slffO1 7s, or cost Of 80 81 for each scholar
The number Of schools has been enlarged there being in
all wt MY three of which fifteen for white males six for
white females for coored males and one for eoored
females Thee boos located in the Fourth Fifth,
Sixth Seventh Eighth, Ninth Tenth, Eleventh. Twelfth

account Of s330l 76 This expenditure includes
the fitting up and furnishing Of schools in the

The value of these institutions be estimated by
a condensed view of the schedule Of occupations

regard the number of persons in the city engaged in the
several Ceilings named in the schedule is impossible
assign any ratio approximately to the several pro
fesons trades Of those who attend school The chsrac
ter of these schools plainly exhibited in this schedule
Their adaptation the wants Of every class OF society
fu y proved by the numbers of those who attend them
and the fact that adults become pupils learn the alphabet
is argument strongly in favor of the institution The
very judcous observations of the Committee in regard to
Domescs are worthy the thoughtful consideration OF every
family in which they are employed We have oien
spoken Of the needs Of this class Of workers
and are glad TO concur the suggestions contained in the
