After the special meeting of the

bers having completed their duties be-
fore 8 o'clock, several of them visited
the night school, in company with
Prof. II. v. Hotchkiss. A short time
was devoted to each class room. The
work of the teachers and pupils was
closely watched and the Board men,
bers, many of whom were at close
quarters with the institution for the
first time, expressed themselves en-
Enthusiastically, regarding the value or
the school and the work 1t is doing.
In the three rooms the pupils were
all orderly, earnest and studious. The
results, of course, varied with the par
ticular branches of study that were
followed and the greatness of the OBJ
stacle each particular pupil had to
overcome.
Prof. Fritch, who has charge Of the
pupils who are having difficulty in
wrestling with the constant complica-

SCHOOL BOARD MEMBERS
VISITED NIGHT SCHOOL
We're Nightly Impressed With Its Pratical Value
and Good Results.

These were mostly Germans and their
efforts were being directed in learn
ing to read and write. English.
The method employed was the read
ing of simple English sentences to
them, teaching the English equiva-
lents and so leading gradually into
the taking up Of lessons in the readers
for beginners. SThe earnestness OF
the efforts that were seen, the diff
Guilty that the tongues accustomed to
German sounds had in grasplng the
sounds of the strange English causing
great youths and grown men to STUN
BILE hesitatingly over sentences that
would have been second nature to a
four-year old American child was
among the impressive things that the
night school brought out.
Nearly all Of the pupils had done
hard days work. Yet they are in
their places night after night, patient,
industrious and ambitious, trying hard
to improve themselves and become
good citizens, of the class BY reason
of their perseverance and intelligence
that Is most needed by the country.
The members of the Board who saw
the work were nightly impressed with
1t and more than one was heard to
say, before he left the high school,
that the abolition OF the night school
would be nothing short of calamity.
