his tract of 5000 acres of land, near
Dawson, thi county, and keyser, West

Il appears that the tract, beginning
near Westermport, extends around to
Potomac-about fourteen miles and Is
from one to two miles wide.

with coal when, about twenty years
ago. the United States Bituminous Coal

Mr.. Condict says "the altitude, soil

for peaches and apples" He has about
600 acres cleared, and will clear from 200
to 300 acres each year for annual addi-
tions to the orchard. After testing the
soil. government authorities declare that

CLASSES GRADED
WITH GREAT CARE
Night Schools Adult Roll Is
Largest in School
History.

That this years attendance Of adult
foreigners at the night schools is the
best in the history Of the District of
Columbia, and the interest manifested
is most extraordinary, was the state
ment made today by superintendent
Stuart. who is now receiving reports
OF the first months work Of the school
year.
Three times a week, on Mondays,
Wednesdays, and Fridays, at 1880
o'clock In the evening, the Jefferson,
Franklin, and Gales Schools are
thrOnged with Italians, Greeks, Rus
sian Jews, Syrians. NOrWegians, Ger
mans, and other grown for
eiguers who are anxious TO learn,
speak, and write the English
some Of these men and women have
been IN attendance ar the night
schools for several years, ana they
have now become proficient. Superln-
tendent Stuart takes great personal
interest in the night schools and
has obtained the best teachers pos
sible for the work. The students are
carefully graded so that the work is
progressive. and late or dull
pupils are not holding back those who
want 70 make rapid progress.
Besides the English language, these
men and women OF the old country
are learning mathematics and history.
Most OF them are in business IN Wash
luETOu, and the LDmES taught III the
night schools are Of immense value TO
them According to Superintendent Stu
art, these foreign adult pupils are the
most earnest and faithful in the public
schools Of Washington. Their only
cause OF complaint is that the schools
are not open every night in the week
instead of three nights.
Many women are taking the course
offered in the night cooking schools.
This includes foreign women as well as
Americans, while in the colOred night
schools many women are constant at
tendants- They are led into taking this
work through the influence Of their chill
dren, who are attending the day schools.
They see the progress made by the
children and become ambitious to better
themselves. The night schools offer just
such an opportunity as they are looking
for.
The Daughters Of the American RevO-
luton offer an annual prize for the
best essay on American citizenship by
these attendants OF the night schools.
and each year the number Of intelligent
and well written papers handed to the
examination committee IS surprising,
according TO superintendent Stuart
The foreigners in the night schools
catch the idea Of American citizenship
rapidly and enthusiastically, he thinks.
