and supper at the Opera House on
Thanksgiving eve. The object is to
raise funds to purchase new books.
This Is a most laudable and praise
worthy move and should be most lib
orally patronized. 1t is . matter in
which every citizen should be inter-
ested for a good library with up-to-
date books Is a public blessing. 1t
Is educational and every good citizen
should be interested in education.

pleasure don't forget this one. If
you don't want to dance be present
and get good supper. II you don't
want to eat good things then go and
have a good dance. II you can do

do either then buy ticket as a true

ton with his colleagues 20 make all the
alterations in the Jewish time tables that

The same correspondent also pointed
out that II the manipulation Of the clock
necessitated the beginning OF theatrical
performances during the summer months

Jews would be prevented from going TO

declares in the St Petersburg Gazette
that the women he has trained have
turned out brilliant successes.
AS might be expected. they excelled in
craftsmanship. but a severer test
came. when the immature students were
sent about the country to gain practical
experience. Prof Bielelinbsky says that
they were so successful IN practical work
that many received bonuses on leaving.
Women engineering students are now
employed in the Nikolaieysk Shipbuilding
