The local |. Nj. C. A. is just In re- ceipt of the report of the educational work of the Associations throughout the whole country and 1t contains some interesting facts with reference to this branch of r. RI. C. A. effort. The past year was the best ..nn ..nn the his tory of the fifty years of the Associa- tion. Over 42,000 students were en- rolled in the night classes of the As sociations during the past season. A quarter of a million dollars were paid in tuition fees. With the report of the country as a whole there was sent a comparative report of the work of the local Association based on the number of members for each Associa- ton. This report shows the local ov- ganization stands well to the front of Associations of it's size in educational work.
 For the coming year the work of this department in the local Associa- ton is to be greatly enlarged and ex- tended. Last year the local Y. M. c. A. Night School enrolled over 100 students in its various branches of study. The subjects that are to be taught this year are as follows: Book keeping, shorthand and typewriting, mathematics and common English branches, Spanish for Americans and English for Spanish-speaking young men. A course in ciyics or political science, mechanical drawing and Eng fish for foreigners. Other branches will be taught if there is demand for them. The plans for the enlarge ment of the Association building call for three educational class rooms to provide for this work
 The commercial course including bookkeeping, shorthand and type ing will be taught by an experienced business college teacher, one who has had years of experience in this line of work.
 Mir F. c. Springtien who is to have charge of the manual training depart ment of the local high school this fall will teach the course in mechanic al drawing.
 The course in the Spanish for Amer jeans and English for the Spanish speaking young men will be taught by MT. J. O. Maldohado who has had excellent success with the classes during tho past two seasons at the Association building. Already a mum Der of men have enrolled for both the beginners and advanced courses. A new departure this year is the course of English for foreigners There has been a great demand for something of this kind among the miners of the camp and a competent teacher has been secured to conduct this course this year.
