WAR EFFECTS
ARE FELT IN
NIGHT SCHOOLS
Decrease in immigration Means
Probable Falling Off in
Juvenile Registration.

immigration to this country. due
principally to the European war, will
probably result in a falling off in the
registration among the juvenile pupils
OF tho public evening schools. This
decrease will largely be offset by
decided increase in the adult classes.
There were more than 1000 adult
pupils attending the evening schools
during the last term, and it is prob
able that this years registration, par
ticularly in the adult classes, will be
considerably larger"
A. V. Taylor supervisor of New
ark's evening schools, made this
statement today anent the registra-
ton of pupils for the evening schools,
where sessions will commence next
Monday night.
MIR. Taylor declared that in many
of the schools the registration has
been very encouraging.
"On Monday night | visited the
Arlington Avenue School, which is one
of the new evening schools, and there
I found a large number of pupils had
registered for the evening classes"
said Mr.. Taylor
It was contended by Mr.. Taylor
that the increase in the adult classes
will be largely due to the fact that
the foreigner desires to avail himself
and herself of the excellent educa-
tional opportunities that are now Of
fered in the local public evening
schools.
Naturalization Classes.
I'VE will have naturalization classes
for foreigners in all of the elementary
schools In these classes we first
teach the pupils the English lam
guage, and the second object, ana a

izenship," said the supervisor.
According to a pamphlet issued by
the Newark Board of Education the
courses in the evening schools are
planned to meet the actual business
requirements and give TO those who
pursue them excellent opportunities to
increase their efficiency in their daily
WORK"
