out money and without price," It may be
thought that what is so easily obtained will
not be appreciated, and We fear this may bo
the case; for although the night schools have
been opened several years, teachers provided
and all arrangements made, the scholars have
been few and irregular. Why should this be .
Is 1t not because our citizens have not cxerted
themselves as they should to induce a largo
attendancei We appeal to employers TO urge
their young men to 80 TO these schools, and to
all who desire the promotion OF virtue, intelli.
gence and industry, TO use their best endeavors
to secure the presence Of those who would
otherwise be frcqucntiDg places Of evil and dc.
