Gated on the second floor in the Seattle
National bank building, and there is am
pie accommodation in the place for 100
scholars.
Prof. Charles Pagan, of the Mercer

will soon be assisted by Miss Clymer, who
has been elected assistant by the board of
directors. Both are capable, efficient and
earnest teachers and will do admirable
work.
The pupils in attendance at the night
school now are among the best young peo-
pie IN the city. They range in age from
Is to % years, and are all deeply intent
upon getting as much advantage as posi-
bic from their brief hours of study. OF
