 tSbiShng Classes.
MET MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS
Principal o. l.. Judd on Committee to Supervise Night Schools-Women Citizens Rights Restored-Briefs.

Orders for the opening next Mon day night of the evening school the establish ment of which received the approval of the voters at a recent town meeting, have been given by the town school committee and the chair man A. l.. Rogers and l.. H. Mills and Principal o. L. Judd have been appointed a committee to have charge of the experiment. The school will he in session on Monday and Wedncs- day nights from to 9 o'clock for an indefinite period.
 The sessions will be held on the upper floor of the new school house and it is thought that the attendance at the start will be sufficiently large to warrant the use of two rooms. With the committee was left power to select teachers and attend to other details in connection with the open ing.
 Members of the board in discuss ing the matter seemed confident of it's success and they are greatly encour- aged by the interest that has already been shown in the plans, particularly by non-English speaking residents Rev. F. l.. Grant secretary of the board, said this morning that em- phasis should be placed on the fact that the evening school is for women as well as men, many seemingly hold ing to the opinion that only male pupils would be considered. While the board claims to have over fifty unsolicited applications from young men who wish to attend the school, the members believe that the enrolment will be in excess of that number when the classes are in opera tion a short time.
 At the beginning the pupils, most of whom will probably have little, if any. knowledge of English will be drilled in such elementary subjects as 1 Cading, writing and spelling and later more advanced classes will be or GaniZed, providing of course, suffi- cient interest is maintained in the school to make it successful ] MT. Mills has an excellent working knowledge of evening schools, having several under his jurisdiction in the , district in which he. is serving the state board of education as supervisor. He will assist materially in getting the school well established. Principal Judd has also promised to work for the success of the plan and other members of the committee have given | assurance of their active co-opera- tiOn.
 Teachers for the classes will prob ably be selected from the regular force in the local schools. They will be paid, it is understood, at the rate of S1.25 a night for their services. It is believed that the $150 Which the town meeting appropriated for the school will be sufficient to cover the expense except for light and heat, which will come out of the regular allowance for schools.
 A few special evening school text books will be purchased for use in the carly training of the pupils and later the books used by the day classes will be of service.
