OVER 700 ENROLLED AT EVENING SCHOOL
Many Will Attend in Order to
 Become AneriCaniZed

In spite of the band concert, in spite of the Jewish holiday, and in spite Of the overtime and night work in many plants, approximately 500 men and women of this city assem- bled at the public evening schools last evening to receive the instruction offered there. This number is eX elusive of the attendance at the NOca- , tional High school. It includes the Central Grammar school, the Elihu Burritt school and the Sacred Heart school. Tn many classes the enroll ment is probably not moro than 50 per cent. of what it is certain to be- come. Particularly encouraging is the fact that a large majority of these people are enrolled to learn English, and to specialize in America.'' At the Vocational High school the en- rollment was 227.
 The splendid response of the Polish people to the privileges offered them is worthy example to all others. Older men and women, as well as those in the younger years of hope and promise, were represented. They have accepted the invitation of the city to help them in a manner that is highly commendable. The city will be proud of the results coming to these people by the end of the year in the evening schools, and the schools are thereby serving a wider field of usefulness.
 The Sacred Heart school has been opened under the same direction and on a similar basis to the other eve ming schools. It possesses a great ad- vantage in the convenience of it's To- cation. Its classes are public to all The teachers are appointed, directed and supervised, as are those in the other schools, by the city school authorities. It is hoped that a larger number will enroll and therefore se- cure it's advantages because of it's nearness and ease of access for them. The teachers of the evening schools are a we'll selected and devoted group for this specialized task of helping those who work all day and who then come to learn what they can at night.
 The plan will be followed this year of giving three evenings to regular study and instruction, with a fourth evening of recreation and social ac- tivity, such as is itself educational. It is this social contact and associa- ton that the foreign-born person es- pecially needs and finds profitable in giving him an understanding of social customs. The atmosphere of the school room will thus become more tolerable and attractive to him.

sent so soon after the German govern met, through it's Vice Chancellor, had so definitely laid down its policies on subjects which were uppermost in the minds of all the belligerents. He con- sidered it one of the plainest state mentS ever made by German dip lomatist, and contended that it made impossible a settlement by ConverSa- ton.
 Until the Central Powers are of open mind and are prepared to dis cuSs our views of what we believe to be right and justice and for the up lift of CiviliZatiOn,' continued the Sec retary, 'mere conversations for prac- tical results were useless."
 He could not help comparing Won Payers speech with the note and wondering what was the central idea of the Culpa bility of the allied peoples, addfng:-"They evidently think they can embitter whatever differences may exist between the allied countries and counteract the present allied suc- cesses on all fronts. I cannot bring myself to believe that this is an hon. est attempt at peace by understanding But I am driven to the opposite opin- 1On-that it is an attempt to weaken the forces in the field which are prov ing too strong for them.'
 MT. Balfour's speech was cheered by two hundred colonial and Ameri- can newspapermen, particularly the statements that the proposal would result in nothing and that the bel ligerentS were diametrically opposed in the colonial question. His refer ences to Belgium and Eastern treaties, as we'll as to Alsace- Lorraine, were also appluded.
