to give wage earners chance to do
this, evening classes in educational
subjects are to be provided which
ought to attract large enrolment.

pursuits and the course offered is one
that is worth the while of any would-be
machine worker or architect. A prac-
tical line of work will be given, in
Guiding practice in making working
drawings and in reading drawings and
blue prints This class will be taught
by a practical craftsman.
A brand new feature will be class
in show card writing, which has not
been offered formerly in this city. This
will be course for clerks and bust
ness men, and for all who wish to
learn the art of lettering. The max
ing of business window cards, price

kinds will be taught by a man who
thoroughly understands the subject.
Instruct Boys I'm Business.
For the boys, course is provided
to be known as the business prepar-
atory'' course. This is Intended for
working boys who have not completed
penmanship, spelling and business Eng
lish will be taught, the design being
to prepare the boys for a business
course later, or to make them more
efficient in their daily work.
Another class for which there seems
to be a real demand is class in Eng
lish for men speaking foreign Ian
guages. There are many men in the
city who have not learned to speak the
English language we'll enough to make
themselves understood satisfactorily.
If they are ever to become real Amer
lean citizens, they must learn the Ian
guage and know something of the in
stitutions of their new country, and
their chances of learning these things
are pretty slim. The Y. II. c. A. there
fore, is providing a means for all such
men to take up a study of converse
tional English, with work in writing
also, and there ought to be a large
number of men who will avail them
selves of the opportunity. Some diff
ficulty Is encountered in letting the
men know of this chance, for those
who need the work most are unable
to read the announcements in English,
and so they must depend upon friends
to inform them of the course that is
to be given for them.
Special Membership Privilege.
All of these courses are provided by
the association as a special member
ship privilege. They are open to mem
bers of the association upon payment
of small fee which goes to remuner-

STREET CAR MUSIC
 FOR THE CONDUCTORS
A Ballad Designed to Impart Informa-
 ton Concerning Transfers.

Superintendent Mitchell of the Phoenix street Railway company has composed d beautiful and touching lit tie ballad for the conductors on the various lines to sing All of them have committed the lines to memory but they have not yet been furnished with the music.
 The theme is the street car transfer The lines do not rhyme, but the rythmic effect has been preserved The ballad is of course varied for each line for the conductor cannot of course sing about transfer to his own line since transfers are given go. all other lines or nearly all other fines.
 A conductor of the Brill line was practicing the ballad, without the music, of course, the other day while waiting at the switch when he discov- cred a hiatus in it; a whole line was missing and therefore there will be an awkward omission of a whole bar of music. There is nothing about a trans fer to the Indian school line. The con ductor stopped the Indian school car which was passing and conferred with him about the balad and he too said that there seemed to be an omission from the ballad he was there to sing. there was nothing about d transfer to the Brill line.
 The conductors arrived at the con- clusion that the ballad was in unfin- ished shape and that MT Mitchell had got only that far along with it when he received that electric shock the other night
