The character Of the boys and girls
coming to school Is one OF the subjects
that has caused the most serious thought
on the part OF those having the schools
in charge. On the first night Of school
the children come trooping In, showing q
diversity that; on Its face, was = sign Of
difficulty In arranging them for study.
Some have learned scarcely any spelling,
some hardly know the alphabet. Others
have gone through subtraction, and are
ready to begin At multiplication. Some
have gone to day-school, and know q lit
tie about the branches taught; others have
caught up bits Of knowledge from out.
side sources, and can give no idea Ms to
where they belong on the ladder Of learn
ing. Under these circumstances, 1t be.
comes work Of great difficulty to classify
the large number who come TO each
school. To add to the trouble, many Of
the pupils come because they are forced

have good time with their comrades.
With such as these II 10 next TO impoSsi.
bic to do anything definite, and the teach.
er is forced TO use his own judgment TO a

It will be seen at once that it is no easy
task to rule this mass OF childhood. The
boys, many Of them, are wild, unkempt,
untutored savages, who use their sleeves
for BpittoonS, and who enjoy nothing
better than to get a chance 10 stuff their
tobacco guilds Into the Ink bottles, for the
benefit Of the day-school pupils who

No description can give any idea Of the

the teachers must handle their young
mischief.makerI, and, doubtless, 1t Is

ORIGIN OF THE NIGHT SCHOOLS.

Prof. F.S. Williams, formerly Super.
in;endent Of the Wheeling public schools,
was an earnes, advocate Of night schools,
and in his monthly reports to the Board
OF Education strongly recommended that
such schools DO established in Wheeling.
Finally, at meeting Of the Board held
on the goth day Of November, 1878, a
resolution was offered, by Dr.. Hupp, we
believe, instructing the Superintendent
to open, without delay, night schools in
the First, Fourth, Sixth and Eighth
Wards. This resolution was referred TO
special committee composed OF one
member from each district, viz; DR.. I.
II. Logan, Of Madison district. William
Stewart, Of Washington district; B. F.
Caldwell, OF Union district; Dr.. J. G:
Hupp, OF Clay district; S. J. Ellitritz, OF
Webster district; Andrew Wilson, Of Cen.
ire district, and jesse Wheat, Of Richie
district. At 4 special meeting OF the
Board held Nov. %, the committee
recommended that FIVE night schools be
opened on Monday, Dec. s, at the follow
