The school is held in one of the old gram
mar-schnol huiidin"S in the heart of the
city o: Fall River, and it is noteworthy
fact that every mill corporation without ex-
ception, which is not located SO far from the
centre as to be unable conveniently TO avail

youth # one of the classes in their turn are
discharged for the purpose of attending
