proficient enough to act gallants to the fair

will hereafter devote Monday, Wednesday
and Thursday nights to the gentlemen's
classes. The first two nights Will be exclu-
sively for gentlemen, while on Thursday
evenings they will have the privilege Of
bringing their lady friends. This action will
no doubt meet the hearty approval Of oil con.
cerned, and the prospect for q successful
school this winter IL very encouraging.
