of the privileges of the day school un-
til they became too old to attend. Thus
their education has been limited to
the extent Of causing embarrassment
in their regular business. Then. too.
| there are many people living in Fargo
who are not familiar with the English
language and American conditions.
who can be materially helped by at
| tending the night school. The courses
pursued will be very flexible so as -to
meet the needs of the different classes
Of people. Good teachers will he en-

chanical and architectural drawing
