 Night School Gains Six.
 But gain of six in the registration was recorded last night when the sec ond session of the evening school was held. Only sixteen pupils are now en- rolled
 Principal Judd believes that the small attendance is not due to lack of interest but is rather the result of a misunderstanding, number of pros- pective pupils failing to report owing to their belief that they vii have to pay for tuition.
 The towns appropriation made at a recent meeting is thought to be | sufficient to cover the expense of the | school for the winter and it is not be- l lieved that contributions from the pu- pills will be required. Members of the school board are of the opinion, now ever, that those benefited by the school should help defray the expenses and voluntary donations will be &C., cepted.
 Principal Judd reported today that a number who were in attendance last night explained that they have friends who are anxious to join the classes and within a week the registration will probably be doubled.

Usher, has given rise to the belief that he has decided to relinquish his title of su- perintendent Until recently when he was relieved of the duties on various boards by the selectmen, George was the champion title holder of this sec- ion.
 The superintendency of the ceme- cry Is the only public office which le holds and while he has not formal y resigned his actions have caused lis associates to believe that he does ' lot intend to continue to serve .
