THE EVENING SCHooLs.-Before the system
OF evening schools W as esta bills he'd in this city
there was some excuse fer ignorance on the
part Of certain class Of youth. Thousands
OF boys and girls, who ought to have been at
tending school, were constantly employed in
some business capacity during the daytime,
and consequently were unable to attend tn e
day schools. Now, however, there is no ex.
cuse Tor those who acquire a common ed duca
ton. The evening schools present every ad.
vantage 10 youth Of both sexes whose time ia
occupied during the day. BY proper derrre
OF application. as much progress can be made
In gaming knowledge during the long Fall
and Winter evenings as is usually attained In
the day schools. 1t may be said, however that
1t is too severe task tor boys and girls to a.
tend school In the evening, after avine worked

physical, in the other intellectual, Mauy of

~ working hours, and With NO such facf,it "a
as are offered by the evening schools The ten
hour sy stem of labor lea yes fourteen hours tor

time for repose there are still seven hours for
study and relaxation-Quite enough If proper

who cannot attend school during the daytime
