Pupils of the Central Night
School Sorry the Term
Is Ended.
HI WORK OF THE SESSION.
Closing Exercises Of No. II Night
School Will Take Place
This Evening.

At the Central Night School in the High
School on Bay street, the greatest interest
has been manifested by the pupils and Prin-
cipal Dellingham and his assistants are
highly pleased with the work of the pupils.
The classes in ~stenography, bookkeeping and
mechanical drawing AVE made remarkable
progress and the pupils have expressed much
regret at the nearness of the close OF the
term, wishing that they could continue
longer. They hope that the idea of having a
Central School shall be continued next year,
perhaps on a higher scale.
Principal Dillingham; said last night that
the attendance during the term was very
gratifying, being about e~ighty-six per cent.
of the registration, and the great interest
taken by the pupils, conclusively showed
that the Board of Education had made a
wise move in establishing the school.
At the closing exercises tomorrow evening
a literary and musical entertainment will be
given to the pupils n their friends. Adj
dresses will be made by representative MEM
bers of the classes on the studies in which
they have been engaged, and an address will
also be made by Principal Dillingham;.
GooD WORN AT NO. IL.
Miss Van Wrinkle, principal of No. IL
night school, reports that the attendance
this season has been very good, considering
the fact that the central school has drawn
away a number of pupils, and compares
favorably with that of last year. The girls,
as usual, have attended more regularly than
the boys; there are three boys, however,
who nave not been absent one night in the
whole term. Tonight the closing exercises
will be held, and there will be an exhibition
of tine best work as well as an excellent en-
Ulz 1.- - kln farfa
ment will all be from among the scholars.
The programme viii be printed in the school
paper, The No.11 School Record. This
paper was started bp three ambitious boys
in the bookkeeping class. The Record is to
be 8 by IL inches and is to contain
four pages. These win contain original
ESSAYS and compositions by the scholars, as
we'll as the programme. The editors are
Richard Croad, Joseph Matthews and James
Reilly. They hustled around and secured
$50 worth of advertisements to pay for
printing their publication. Miss Van Win
kle feels very proud of the work done by the
school this season.
