AVERAGE ATTENDANCE se.
Report of Night School Indicates Ap-
 preciation of It's Advantaces.

The report of Supervisor Albert S. Ames, principal of KiIlingly's night school. shows that the average attend ance at that school fer the two months ending Dec. 19 was 56.3 for each ses- sion nieht. This is a splendid show ing and equals that of cities in Con- necticut where the populations are five times that of this town Killingly' s night school has been especially suc- ceSsfUl and a magnet that has not only drawn but held a large number of stu dents because of the fact that the teaching force, made up of MT. Ames, Willis H. Shippee, Jr., Miss Hortense Grifhths and Miss Dorothy Gilligan, is an exceptionally able one for night school work and that the course of study is just what is needed and de- sired by those who would be attra cted by the opportunities presented by night school study. There are neither frills nor follies in the course of students just essentials. and the added value of a commercial course, the mastering of the principles of which means oppor- tunity for steady employment for suc- cessful students
 This year the net cost of the school will be inside the $400 appropriated by the town, and to any taxpayer who will sufficiently interest himself to visit the school when sessions are re- sumed after the holiday season there will be no room left to dispute that the money Is well spent; that for the amount mentioned the town is giving untold value to more than half a hun dred extremely earnest students, for those who attend the night school are not there for play.
