Night School Students Work Under
Disadvantages.

Sioux City. Dec. eff the boys and
girls who attend the Sioux City
schools during the day time were
obliged to learn their lessons thru an
interpreter, how much buster would
the truant officers be? Nevertheless,
that is the way -one-fourth Of the peo-
pie who enter the night school which
opened Monday evening in the Arm
strong building are obliged to absorb
the rudiments of an education.
About thirty-five pupils have enrolled
in the school.
"They are a bright class Of pupils"
said Superintendent w. M. Stevens,
predicting that the success Of the night
school this year would be even greater
than last year. Mr.. Stevens regarded
it as promising sign that so per cent
of those who entered the school were
pupils who had attended the school
last year. The number is about the
usual one for this time Of year.
81 was present when some of the
pupils who needed an interpreter came
in," said Mr. Stevens. Some Of them
brought parent or other relative to do
the talking for them, and others relied
upon the services of the interpreter
who acted in that capacity last year
under the direction Of the board"
