FIRST SESSION.
Evening High Schools Open
ed Last Night--Big Glasses

The fourth annual session of the
evening high school opened in the Eng
fish high school building last night and
to say that Supervisor j. j. Riordan
was a busy man is putting 1t very
mild. The total registration thus far is
991, which will. in all probability, in
crease to 500 within the next few weeks
Many who wished to see Mr.. Riordan
regarding registration last night were
unable to do so, but win probably en-
brace the opportunity during the next
few days. From present indications the
attendance will be double that Of last
year.
The character Of the attendants is an
interesting feature, embodying as it
does all sorts of pupils, from those of
the ninth grade to Normal school grad
yates Some are graduates of the high
school and others are day students who
are studying a particular branch.

7.30 o'clock, where they we're addressed
by Mr.. Riordan and DR.. M. B. Finn,
