Evening School to Be Opended
In New High School Building

On Monday night, Of next week
it is purposed to open the night
school, in the new high school build.
ing, meeting at eight o'clock in the
assembly hall on the top floor.
Night schools throughout. the coun-
try are meeting with much success,
and have merited the APPROVAL Of both
state and federal governments, in fact
both governments have arranged a
means whereby some financial aid is
given to the schools that conduct
night schools.
One of the primary purposes Of
night schools is to give to foreign
ers an opportunity to learn to speak
and write the English languageA
Classes will be provided, caring for
for such lessons.
Another series of courses will be
offered to men and women who may
not have had the good advantages
boys and girls of today have, and
who would as result like to review
the common branches of arithmetic,
grammar, spelling, penmanship and
the like.
But a further series of courses will
be offered if there is a sufficient de-
mand to justify. For instance the
new high school is we'll equipped for
some Investigations in the sciences
physics, chemistry, biology. And
there is sufficient number of men
and women who would find interest
and pleasure in such courses, it is be-
lieved that instruction can be pro-
vided.
Some night schools have found a
good success in advanced sciences as
may be decided-Political economy,
sociology, commercial law, civics-a
competent teacher will be secured.
1t will be the purpose of the night
school to ofer such courses as may
be desired, provided there are a suf-
ficient number of students interested,
and suitable instructor available.
The night school will meet three
times week for an hour and half
or two hours, continuing for three
months-a length of time sufficient
to accomplish much, without proving
burdensome.
The board of education is spon-
sor for the night school and are
prepared to do all in their power for
its success.

Material for invisible Writing Used BY

was revealed in the early days Of the
war by the arrest Of man In Pater-

The man, held as an alleged spy In
a Jail in Brooklyn, Is said to have
come from Holland and to have been
employed In silk dyeing establish
ment in Paterson. His unique method
of sending messages to Germany
called for the use Of silk hosiery Of a
peculiar dye. 1t Is said that he had
received dozen pairs Of these socks
from German agents In Holland and
that his method was to soak them in
water and use the coloring matter
which they gave forth as writing
fluid. As this dried 1t became Invisible

which, however, the federal agents are
said to have worked out.
They, in turn, in learning the secret,
opened his letters and changed the
contents and forwarded the letters.
The information thus received by the
Germans proved Of little use to them.
But for long time, 1t Is said, there
was not enough evidence on which to
convict this man, until one day
through carelessness he left one Of
the socks where naval intelligence
officer found It When confronted with
this the man Is said to have confessed

months. and though the train bearing
him from New York was almost two
hours later than scheduled the great

White House showed no abatement in
numbers or enthusiasm.
Though the President had spent
busy afternoon in New York. follow
ing his debarkation there early in the
afternoon, there was no fatigue no
ticeable in his manner as he stepped
from his train eight minutes before
midnight and passed through the
cheering thousands to his car. HIS
expansive smile and cordial manner
gave emphasis to his statement that
he had never been quite SO anxious to
get home as he was this time.

surged forward against the ropes that
marked the route the home coming
