LOCAL NIGHT SCHOOLS
SESSIONS FOR SEASON CLOSED
LAST NIGHT.
Shorter Term This Year on Account Of
Smaller Approximately
of the Pupils.

The night schools of the District. both
white and colored. closed last evening for
the year, after remaining open for term
OF sixty-one nights Last year the aDpro-
priation by Congress was sufficient to carry
the night schools over until May 1, and
they remained open for seventy-five nights
fourteen more than for the present year.
The appropriation for the coming year
shows increase of 50 .000 and II is hoped
by those in charge that the night school
pupils will have more than five months OF
school during the coming year.
All of the schools report that the term
just passed has been unusually successful.
The removal of the age limit was regarded
as a step in the right direction. the night
high school in particular being benefited
by the change. The pupils over twenty
one years of age are said to be in every
instance steady and reliable. and they have
a good influence over the younger element
in the school, An instance OF an older
pupil with the younger pupil is shown in
the Gales school, where a man under IN
struction in the sixth grade has boy IN
the fifth and another in the seventh grade.
Below is given list of the transfers OF
the Gales night school. The school opened
the 1st of October with an enrolment or
1870 and closed with 125 of the same pupils
