NIGHT SCHOOLS

The legislature of Alaska at its last session passed an act for the establishment of citizenhip night schcOls of which few of our citIss have taken advantage. Skag- ESJ has no such school. There sra men working in different plac- Go Ia tue city who would be glad z such Gn opportunity offered it. S~H to them where they might be come better acquainted with our government, it's political machina-
 jOns. its history, etc. Especial Iy should these things be known HOW since the United States has entered the war.
 Tue purpose of the citizenship school Is to create better citi- EeEs. and to aid foreigners in the study of American government in order that they may become citi- Eens. English Language, History Ot the United States, and Civ il Government are required to be taught and any other subjects which gre desired may be taught.
 h the cities night schools are being largely attended, not alone by foreigners, but by leading busi- neSs men who are desirous of learning more about the communi- ties In which they sell their goods, or wi,S to knoW more of the gener- sl manner in which other business si are conducted. New fields for investment are studied; the war ReWs Is kept up to date; current events arc taught.
 Any twelve persons, 16 years of age or over, who are not now at tending school may petition to the judge Of the United States dis trict court for 0 night school. The petition will be investigated and if worthy the school will be grant ed with all expenses paid by the government, including the salaries Of teachers who will be paid to not exceed S6 an evening for two hours work. Further details may be had from the Daily Alaskan or from U 8. Commissioner Rasmuson.
 The Alaskan Is of the opinion that c night school is needed in SkGgway and that it would be of great benefit to many of the men who dI not have opportunities to study otherwise. Any one interest ed in the establishment of a night school Is requested to see the Alaskan and # enough men sig RIty their desire to attend the Al askaE will petition the government for the establishment of one in sksgWay, .+ II

 wish you would run me a small ad in your paper so that I can keep in touch with my many clients Wish ing you every success.
 Yours truly,
 Prof Earl Gray Honolulu.
