A LARGE INCREASE
Comparison of Night School Alt tendance Figures of 1907 and 1908 Shows D.
 cided Gain.

The last of the night schools to open in this city for the coming winter opened last evening when the Russian school which Is held at the Cedar street building opened for the fall term. The opening of this school was delayed ow- ing to the Hebrew holiday season which has just passed
 The attendance at the building last evening was recorded as 26S which is an increase over the opening attend ance last year of 192. Ten rooms were opened at the building last night while last year only eight rooms were main taned In the ten rooms there was room which was opened for the ex- elusive use of the Polish people of the city In this room Samuel J. Nathan son who Is principal of the school says that S5 Poles registered.
 At the Boardman building over which William H. Hackett presides an attend ance of SO7 pupils was recorded. The average attendance for the first week In the school last year was 2o5, Alfred 10 Porter who has charge of tho Hill house elementary school reported a reg istratlon of 240 pupils which Is an in crease of HIS over the average first week attendance at the same school last year and an increase of 42 over the weekly average of this year
 The attendance at the Italian school which is maintained at the Hamilton building was given as l50 The aver age attendance for the first week last year was recorded as 70 pupils This is an increase of almost i20 per cent
 The total attendance at the four buildings last evening was recorded as 9i1 which is an increase of 4Oi over the average attendance at the same four buildings for the first week of last year, This tends 10 show that the value of the evening school instruction Is fast becoming recognized by the working population in this city.
 It also tends to show that the mat. ter of providing means whereby this particular class will be benefited by the instruction is one that will require se- rlous attention in the future
 Al present the attendants at these schools are given all the advantages of the day school pupils fin that they are provided with the same quarters This matter should be distinctly remembered as it Is well known fact that fir many other cities where night school arc maintained the pupils are obliged to attend In old dilapidated buildings and In some places grocery stores are utilized In providing accommodations for the scholars.
 The courses of instruction as qrovid cd by the local school authorities it also commendable especially the in struction as provided in the Roardmar advanced school where thorough cours es In mechanical drawing. boolt-keep ing, etc. are maintained with great ad. vantage both to the students and tc the instructors.

been compelled to establish a pound

Unless the dogs can be tanned they

to make Nome safe for women and

When one is waiting in the tube
