AN EVENING School is greatly needed
in our city for the youth who labors dur
ing the. day and hence cannot attend
regular school. We respectfully call at
tention to this important want. Let the
youth entitled to the benefit Of the public
schools, but who are prevented from at
tending during the day, petition the
Board Of Education to provide an eve
ming school. The School law of Ohio
contains a provision requiring Boards of
Education to provide such schools when
the proper demand is made. We would
suggest that the teachers mention the
matter in the various departments that
the public, and especially the youth
ma, know their rights in the premises.
