Owing to the unusual interest
taken in the course of lectures on
astronomy by the pupils of the public
schools, the lecture committee has de-
cided to have one evening of the
course when children of the younger
ages will be admitted for the sum of Is
cents. It is believed that the lecture
on the planets will be the most interest
ing one to children, and therefore this
special arrangement will be made for
this week Thursday evening. The
special rate will apply to children of
the public schools below the high
school and to children of the various
parish schools, but not to the students
of the college or the university. It
will also be extended to young chill
dren not attending any school. These
