Colored Schools.
The final closing exercises in the colored
night schools was held at the Garnet School
last night with a display of pupils work
and appropriate remarks by Principal
Walker. Director Murch and Assistant Dt-
rector Evans.
In these schools the manual training fea-
ture receives a large share of the emphasis,
and the display of work In cooking, sew
ing millinery and bench work in these
schools, three of which, Armstrong, Stevens
and Randall. closed Friday night, was graf
flying in the extreme.
The work Of the business department at
Armstrong has made rapid strides, 1t Is
stated. in shorthand and typewriting. COM
prising among It's members several depart
mental employees who are thus preparing
for advancement IN the government service
A vocational subject taught at Armstrong
Is steam engineering. Three members of
this years class have qualified before the
board of steam engineers of the District
and have been awarded license.
The work In the elementary graded school
class has been with few exceptions uni
f0rmly good. The attendance has been bet.
ter and more regular than In any previous
year of the history of the evening schools.
This Is particularly due to the adoption OF
a graded series of text books for use in
these classes by the board of education
The work as a result has been really deli
mite, and definite promotions from one class
10 another can be made at the opening
Of the schools next fall. These schools
have received an extra amount of careful
thought and attention from Superintendent
ue Schools A. T. Stuart who has guided
their development with the ultimate aim of
ms king them as effective for adults whose
early opportunities have been limited as
are the day schools for the children,
The crowded condition OF the classes N
some buildings indicates the necessity for
the establishment OF another school IN
tie northeast section to accommodate tn.
many who are compelled to Journey a long
distance TO find instruction. This Will
carry larger expenditure and therefore
viii call for larger appropriation
The board of education however con-
thiues this system OF adult instruction
through its system or free lectures two
nights each week.
