THE N1GHT-SCHo0L AT THE SOuP-HOUSE.-
This school is already success. The first
night, us we said on yesterday, there were
over thirty present; the second night, more
than double that number; and as all the
teachers had already as many as they could
accommodate the excess had to be turned
of. It was hard to refuse so many OF those
willing and anxious TO learn and whose
only chance to do so was afforded by the
self-sacrifcing young men who have under
taken the work. Appeals were made yes.
terday by parents whose sons would have
gladly embraced this means OF learning their
letters, but the room being already uncom-
fortably crowded they had to be refused. A
larger room or separate school and more
teachers is needed to care for the large num-
Der of those wishing to learn.
Here is an opportunity for the Young
Mems Christian Association to step forward
and assist in much-needed work. The
desire for instruction is increasing, and
those whose means will not allow them to
60 to the day-schools are anxious to 60 at
night. The time occupied III teaching is
only about two hours. The scholars now
attending the school are attentive, and give
but little trouble to the teachers.
1t may be stated that some OF them came
from Rockets, some from Oregon Hill, and
others from near the alnlshouse.
A list was made of all those who were
turned off on Tuesday night, and it will be
but little trouble to find them should the
accommodations be enlarged.
