the Coming Winter

At meeting of the physical de-
partment committee Tuesday night it
was decided that efforts be made to
form an industrial basketball league
the teams will be composed OF play
ers representing the different factor
les of Bennington and any shop is ell
ligible to put in team. The league
will play two games on one night of
each week, probably Monday night
and the players will not be requested
to pay a membership fee at the "Y"

team.
The teams wishing to enter should
put in their applications right away

The Monday nights before that time
will be used for practice and the
picking of players.
Another suggestion made was the

matter will be looked into right away
The athletic series for the Junior
class starts this afternoon and thei;

EVENING COURSES
FOR ADULTS IN
NEW SCHOOL
CIasSe In Arithmetic, English,
Cooking and Sewing
UNDER HIGH SCHOOL TEACHERS
Plan to Make Building Useful For
People Of Mature Years Is Be-
ing Worked Out

In connection with the work in the
new high school building there will
be evening classes in English, in
Guiding grammar and composition
and in arithmetic and bookkeeping.
Plans are also under way for evening
classes in cooking and sewing.
These classes are for either young
people who have left school or for
adults. A good many people find
when they get to mature years that
they did not get schooling enough
when they were younger and would
welcome a chance to take short
winter course in English and arith
metic under the trained teachers of
the high school Then there are for
eign born people who would like a
chance to learn to speak and read the
English language.
In town like Bennington where
so many girls are employed in the
mills and offices large number fail
to learn at home to cook and sew
and there is a demand for inst;uc-
ton in these lines. Not a few young
married women find that they need a
course in these branches. Hereto
fore the school district has had no
facilities to answer the call. but the
new building has a modern up-to date
plant for teaching domestic science
and has teacher who is specially
trained for the wo.k.
The policy OF the school trustees
will be TO supply the demand for
these evening courses as far as pos
sible Thuy do not know how great
the demand is and therefore request
all those who wish to join classes IN
any one or more of the four branches
arithmetic, English, cooking or
suwing-to give or send their names
TO Superintendent \. W. Narney or
Principal +. d. Mabrey as soon as
possible so that a working plan may
be developed 1t is important TO
know in season how large the classes
are to bo
The board of school trustees at a
special meeting Wednesday evening
considered the question OF co-operat-
ion with the public recreation IL
structor, who is maintained in BEN
ninstcn through the patriotic effort
of the Civic League. but did not take
any final action in the matter. Supt.
Varney was authorized to consult
with Miss Vossler and to accept her
services at the graded school build
ing as far as II seems desirable in
maintaining system of calisthenics
during rest periods and in promotion
of healthful organized play at recess.
The request for the use of the new
school building for two or mO,e eve
nngs per week for social center and
neighborhood wo-k was pot acted on
It is not yet clear how fully the new
evening classes will occupy the build
ing nor is the plan Of work proposed
fully understood.
