/ In order that Lent may not inter-
fere with attendance &C night school,
the session will start Monday even
ing. November the first and it will
continue for fifteen weeks, closing
the Friday before Ash Wednesday.
| 1t is important that the registration
be completed before the first session
so that all arrangements may be com
pleted before the opening of the
school NJ: Mabrey is at the High
School building each school day and
he will be glad to register people at
any time. He will also be in his Of
flee upon Friday evening, October Is
and Thursday and Friday evenings,
October 21 and %, at half past seven
to register the people who may be un-
/ able to see him during the day. If
i possible, ali persons who are plan
ming to attend the school should reg
| lister before October %. No pupil
| win be admitted to any course after
the completion of the first week of
the session.
At the time of registering, each
/ pupil will deposit one dollar for each
course which he plans to take. This
deposit, besides covering the cost of
the books which are loaned to the
| Al % fnit
| of the person as regards his regular
attendance If pupil is absent six
| times from any subject he viii forfeit
his dollar and he win not be allowed
| to continue in the work of that
course The deposit is smaller than
is demanded in most towns.
II is clear that unless a student is
very regular in his attendance in a
| course of thirty lessons he not only
1, loses the benefit to be derived from
| the work but he also retards the work
/ of the faithful pupil. If any pupil
can not plan upon the necessary free
nights for the work which he elects,
/ it is not advisable for him to register.
A tentative list of subjects has
/ been made but is subject to change.
| No subject will be given unless ten
/ people register for the work and if
{; there is a demand for any subject
which is not listed it will be given if
/ it is possible to do so.
There will be two courses in Arith
metic The first course will be an
! elementary one and it will cover Ad-
dition, Satisfaction, Multiplication
! Division. Decimals and Fractions
/ The second course in Arithmetic Will
! be devoted entirely to the practical
shop mathematics. The course is
/ planned for any person who is employ
ed upon machinery and who desires
! to learn the formulas and their appli-
I; cation to machines. engines and
! boilers.
The course in Bookkeeping has
! been entirely reorganized. 1t is
! clearly evident that in course OF
! thirty lessons it is impossible to gain
| enough knowledge of the subject for
I an expert bookkeeper. For this rea-
| son this work has been planned to
cover several years. During the
! first year, thirty lessons will be CIV
! en- upon the general principles of the
subject. This course will be follow
/ ed in successive years by more de-
/ tailed and advanced course OF instruc
: ton. The work of the first year is
! adapted to two classes of students;
! besides the pupils who plan to com
! plete the full work it will be useful
/ to those people who desire TO know
/ something of elementary bookkeep-
ing,
/ Two courses in Reading are plan
! ned. The first is an elementary one
for beginners and the other is for the
I'members of last years class or for
! any person who can read a little and
/ who desires to improve himself in
| the art
| In English, course in composition
/ and reading will be given. This
! work is of high school grade and af
ter review of the principles of gram
! mar it will take up the fundamental
| principles Of rhetoric
! In Mechanical Drawing, the course
: will offer thirty lessons in Machine
| Drawing. In this subject each pupil
f, must supply himself with set of
! drawing instruments and he will pur
! chase the paper which is used in the
/ work The school authorities can

for two dollars and fifty cents il an
order is given to Mr. Mabrey before
! October 20.
