draughtsmanship have been opened at
Mckinley Manual Training School
They will continue until the end of the
school year on five nights a week.
These classes are new to night schools

partment offers special salary induce
ments to men trained in radio opera
ton. draughtsmanship and machine
shop work. 1t is with the idea of
training young men in these vocations
that the new classes were instituted.
Thirty-seven men who will take the
course in radio operation were enroll
ed Tuesday night, and a total Of sixty
was enrolled In the new classes.
More classes and subjects have been
opened in the night schools this year
than ever before in the history of the
Washington schools. In Business High
School alone there is an enrolment of
1900. mainly in classes in stenography
and typewriting-
The total enrolment in the night
schools of the District today is 5,327,
the largest number ever recorded. In
stead of running classes in the night
schools three nights a week as for
merly, practically all classes in the
night schools are now running FIVE
nights week with full enrollments.
More enrollments in the classes in
draughtsmanship at the Mckinley
Manual Training School on Tuesday
and Thursday nights may be taken. it
was stated. as the Monday, Wednesday
and Friday classes are overcrowded.
