The German school was formed early
in the spring, with the object Of giving
instruction in German to children of Ger
man parents, who were DESTROYS of OBJ
tanning a thorough knowledge Of the Ger
man language. The success which at
tended has led the society to enlarge the
school, and increase the staff of instruc-
tors. There were about two hundred pu-
pills attending last season. and it is ex-
pected that the number will be doubled
in the ensuing term.
The school committee has received
several communications requesting that
a class for adults be formed, for the in
struction of German. Such a class will
probably be formed in the near future,
if enough pupils can he obtained to pay
the expense of the undertaking.
T school rooms are located in Turn
Hall
