NIGHT Schools for All
Is Deamer's Plan; Will
Make It Effective

The night schools in Fargo will be
given a much broader scope this sea-
son, according to action taken by the
board of education last night, at the
recommendation of Supt. Arthur
Deamer.
The object of these schools will be
to give to the people of the city any
thing in the way of education that
they desire providing that enough
people apply for a particular subject
TO warrant the board in hiring a
teacher.
Superintendent Deamer was au-
thorized bv the board to get the night
schools started at the earliest possible
time. and to offer such course OF
jnstructiOn as the people may elect
This means that the night schools for
adults will be conducted again this
year along broader and more progress
sive lines.
Mr.. Deamer said that his idea Of a
night school was one that would pro-
vide instruction for the people of. the
community along any line that they
might want to take. providing that
enough people could be secured who
want the same thing to warrant the
employment of a teacher for that
particular line.
Mr.. Deamer said that too often the
impression has gone out where night
schools are held that they are fol
teaching foreigners, who desired to get
a better conception Of the English
Language, American customs and the
like. He said that he believed thai
the schools owed it to the people tc
give them what they want in the way
of instruction and that the nigh
School should be for the native borr
who has not had the advantage of &
thorough education. as well as for tn,
