Mr. Hunter c. White, chairman Of the
comnittss on evening schools, made a
long report, reviewing the work OF the
present ter "A so far a. h has progressed and
showing tho rapid development OF the
system and the corresponding increase in
the needs of the schools.
Five new schools have been added to
those maintained last season, including
an evening High School, two advanced
schools and two eommon schools. The
evening High School, in the High School
building, admits only grimmar school
graduates or those passing an exsmfna-
tion such as Is required for admission
to the day High School. Pupils are not
allowed to attend but part of the week,
some evenings for home study being de-
manded. An average OF 265 regularly at
tending pupils bAve availed themselves OF
these privileges, 146 attending three
evenings per week and 1l9 attend
ing two ev Bings q week. The teach
-. k1A - twk
standing In their course in college, and
srs apt and enthusiastic instructors. The
pupils are from every class, including Ia
borers and day school teachers.
The attsIaspoe several times exceeds
the expectations OF the com nittee, al
though Is URs realized that there was
strong demand for sucE a school. The
GdVEncec schools, four iE number, are CO.
ing ths Work that Is done ia the tact
thres years Of the grammar schecl
course. Among the EeN sohoois IL oEs
for AcmeniaBs, and one 30 iurnish sec
tioE OF tke city not before accommodated
with evening" sckool facilities. IL hes
been necessary TO somewhat increase the
expense for jsRitoTs and teachers by these
additions. The probable running ex-
pebEes OF the new schools after the first
ysar will be about $4,000 for full term OF
20 weeks.
A resolution accompanied the report re-
qussting the city solicitor 20 make
further appropriation of 1900 for the
maintenance OF evening schools. The
resolution passed.

special committee appointed 10 confer

tho power of the school COM
mittee to pay its secretary fer
extra services, reported favorably and
offered q resolution that Secretary Rose
