The new Business Evening School,

mercial Evening School, opened last even
ing with eclat at the old quarters On the
corner of Bush and Stockton streets.
The school had been shut down for three
months, the chief changes ID It's reorgan-
ization being the change OF principal ana
the abolition or consolidation OF certain
classes. SO great want had been felt for
the evening instruction that the ex-scholars
of the Commercial Evening School held
mass-meetings on the subjects. demanding
the reinstitution Of their lost source OF
learning. The agitation was conducted In
an orderly manner, and. after much see
saving. the Board of Education adopted
plan last "Wednesday for the required even
ing classes.
AS result there was very large at
tendance OF scholars at the opening last
night. BY P. NJ. the approaches to the
building were crowded, and there was gen.
eral congratulation among The assembled
madens and young men upon the accom-
plshment Of their purpose.

the School Board the former princiD H..

{. fitzpatrick. Obsolete methods and lack
of executive ability were among the rea-
sons alleged for the change.
But Mr.. Lezirskv was not prepared to
Weld his scepter OF office Wlthouta struggle.
and in company with his attorney, y. Roths-
child, appeared early last evening to demand
his place as principal. On being Informed by
Mr. Fitzpatrick that the latter held his po-
sitiOn as a duly appointed principal, the
twain withdrew, apparently satisfied with
the formal refusal.
Principal Fitzpatrick al once proceeded
TO organize the classes. The w0uld-be pu-
pills included large number OF new CON-
ers. and this lent considerable difficulty to
the problem of classification. Added to
this only three teachers-Mlss Dora War
schauer, teacher of typewrlting, and Misses
Dora KOsminsky and b. Levlngston, teach
ers OF Stenography-were present to take
eight classes ordinarily in operation. Prln-
cipal Kilpatrick, however, proved host IN
himself, leapng like an other Curtius fully
armed into the breach, and orally examin-
ing large crowd of applicants Tor knowl-
edge.
Later on President Hyde of the Board
of Education appeared on the scene and
made the round of tile classes. he in-
ouired as to the number or new pupils IN
each. and ascertaned that it was about 10
per cent of the whole. Mr. Hyde made

According to one the pupils in stenog-
raphy who have progressed one, two, three
or more months will be segregated under
different teachers and not be Instructed by
one. The principal expects that the new
method will admit Of greater attention
being paid to each grade Of progress, and
that the more clearly defined demarkatlon
between the classes will prove greater
incentive to advancement.
According to the new plan adopted ad-
mission to the school is in accordance with
the following standard: First, graduation
from a grammar school; second. gradua-
tion from the eighth grades OF the evening
schools; third, examinations equivalent to
graduation from grammar school.
Judging from the appearance OF the
pupils last evening most OF them are en-
gagged in business and anxious TO improve
their position. or wish to obtain position
as typewriter. Every desk in the stenog-
raphy and typewriting departments was
filed, and the teachers stated that there
were standing applications for every va
cancy which might occur.
Principal Xii atrick said that tonight
more teachers would be present, and that
the work of classification would proceed
to completion without interruption or
delay.

of pupils have been fixed as follows: l.,
