 Doubts for the success of the even ing school established here a few weeks ago have been dispeIled during the past two sessions the attendante oi1 both Monday and Wednesday cven- lngs coming up to predictions made by members of the school board when the proposition was first suggested to the voters. Two well organized class es are now conducted and the en- thusiasm exhibited by the members is cause for satisfaction with the men responsible for the esta blishment of the school
 Chairman A. l.. Rogers of the school board and Principal O. l.. Judd. both of whom have done considera ble for the school are we'll satisfied with the results thus far obtained and they believe that by the end of the term the tOWnSpeople will not only agree that the school as an experiment was d success but will vote to make it q permanent feature of Plainville's edu- catiOnal system.
 The two classes now being conducted are made up entirely of. non English speaking residents desirous of learn ing the language of the country They seem greatly interested in their work and apparently are appreciative of the efforts made in their behalf
 With membership of about fifty, which the school committee believes will be the maximum attendance at the school this year, it will be un- necessary to have more than two class es and the school will continue as or isinally established until the end of the term. Miss Brock will remain in charge of the beginners and Miss Stow will have charge of the ad- vanced class.
 Lecture on Frisco
 Arrangemen have been made for a free lecture to be given in the Bap- tist church Friday evening at 7:30 by Rev. $. D. Woods of Cheshire. The address will be on San, Francisco and the speaker will show over one hun dred stereopticcn views, including sev- eral showing scenes in the California city after the earthquake. MT. Woods will be assisted by Ed win Beardsley, also of Cheshire. whose recent lecture on California attracted much attention here.
 To Celebrate Anniversary
 Officers of the grange have decided to have the celebration of the anni- versary of the organization take place
 
 ing in Grange hall on Pierce street The affair was originally planned for February ?, but on account of the storm on that date the committee in charge decided to postpone it, and this morning it was announced that the occasion will be observed next Tuesday.
 The lecturer has prepared an ex- ceptionally interesting program and the grangers are looking forward to a most enjoyable evening"
 A history of the local branch of the organization since it's was instituted will be one of the features of the ses- sion. The grange is one of the larg- est and most active fraternal organi- zations in town. It is still grow ing and during the spring it is eX- pected that a number of new. mem bers will be admitted.
 Business Conditions Improving
 While the local factories are still running on short time and with curtailed working force, local manu- lecturers report an improvement in general business conditions and thes' claim the outlook is at present more hopeful than it has been at any time in nearly d year.,
 Except for the Bristol Manufacture ing companys plant, which is still slack there is increased activity in all the local factories
 The industrial leaders declare that orders are coming in with greater frequency than at any other time since the European war started. Manufa cturred articles are also being purchased in quantities of sufficient size to indicate that confidence is re- turning to the jobbers and the trade ] in general
