fluence upon the destinies OF the nation than
one might at first suppose. 1t means the ex-
tending of the means of knowledge to all men,
women and children who want to learn, who
are willing to work for knowledge, and whose
condition excludes them from the privileges of
the ordinary public schools. OF course the
results will not be immediate or universal.
the free night school is no longer an expert
ment, for 1t has been in operation now long
enough to prove that it can be conducted
easily. economically and benefcially, and
the opening of the schools IN this city
last week was not an entry into a new
territory but the revival of a system started
two years ago. The organization is exceed
ingly simple. consisting of classes Of three
grades, with an advanced course. Each build
ing is complete as far as the lower course goes,
and is provided with q principal and three
teachers. The schools are located as follows:
White-Frauklln building, Henry, Jefferson,
Wallach and Curtis. COlored--Stevens, Gar
nett, John T. Cook, Lincoln and Randall build
ings and the Mott and Hillsdale schools. The
building and is for pupils who have already
gone over the studies of the three lower
courses, either in the night schools in former
times or in any other way. Based on the theory
that all who come want to learn all they can
there is no system of examination or discipline
in the schools. All that was necessary for en-
trance was for the applicant to present himself at
a building in which night school is located
and go through the simple process OF enroll
ment.

There is the same strenuous earnestness
in the manual training rooms that character
ICES the other school rooms, only little inten-
sifed if possible. The greatest energy and in
dustry prevail. Robust young women. with
their sleeves rolled up to their elbows, barring
their plump white arms, plunge heroically into
seas of dough, pummel it, roll it, pound 1t I'M
I'll it is as tough as possible, and then then
faces flush as they open the door of the red-hot
stove and shove the Jumps OF softness inside;
By and by they will learn to make cake and
other fancy articles of food, but just at present
they are kept down to the more prosaic sorts OF
cookery, the rudiments, such as the washing
of pots and pans, the measuring OF materials,
the kneading of plain dough. In the sewing
schools a dozen bright faces bend earnestly
over bits Of white cloth, through which their
shining needles fash back and forth in an un
productive journey-fruitless in so far as tam
gible results go, but profitable In the training
impaired. Gradually the bit OF white cloth
will be formed into garments, PLAIN but ser
viceable, some instruction will be given IN the
art of cutting, and SO the process OF evolution
will progress.
The pupils in these schools Of cooking and
sewing look rather more in place than the ordl-
nary pupils. Their skirts and bonnets seem in
perfect harmony with the pots and pans and
needle and thread that form the appurtenances
of the rooms. A majority Of them belong TO
that class of girls and women who have gone to
school until they have been compelled to go to
work, and have never had the inclination or
the opportunity to learn how to cook or to
WELD a needle. There are many girls who
have natural Discrimination against dabbling
in batter or handling dough or pricking their
fingers with sharp points, just as there are
others who have decided tendencies in those
directions, and it is the former class who have
hitherto neglected their chances in this line,
who are to be most benefited by these classes.

grades differ somewhat from the grades of a

the nature of the studies themselves-that is.
