NIGHT SCHOOL
IS POSSIBLE
Glasses Will Be Started if
Demand For Them is
Shown by People.

Night classes in the city public
schools to aid in the government
plans for the Americanization of
foreigners are a possibility providing
there is sufficient demand for them,
according TO F. F. Burchard, secre-
tary of the city school board.
Under the law we are bound to
form night classes whenever ten per-
sons sign up for them" said Mr..
Burchard today. Therefore, if there
appears to be any demand for such
classes they will of course be started.
An attempt was made to start classes
of this kind three year ago, however.
When the class opened there was one
lone pupil present. although the plan
had been given wide publicity"
Mrs. Agnes Rex, city supervisor of
the poor. is anxious that such work
should be started, feeling hat educa-
ton in English and kindred branches
would greatly aid many families who
as 1t is are often close to the poverty
line,

failing Major Albert E. Brown, infan-

ment Of the establishment Of a reserve
officers training corps unit at the To-
cal institution.
1T would be decidedly inadvisable
to start the military work at this late
day." said President Kane this morn
Ing in discussing the situation. Com
pIete disruption and disorganization
of the now smoothly running academic
schedule would undoubtedly, follow.
and the military work would also be
organized at a disadvantage because
OF the many confronting obstacles"
ST have advised Washington that
as long as the establishment of the
corps has been deferred SO long we
at the university feel that it now
ought to be postponed until fall when
we could give the idea of the reserve
officers training corps a more COM
plete and satisfactory tryout," he con-
tinued. LAS the situation now stands.
the faculty is somewhat divided upon
the necessity Of a unit Of the reserve
officers training corps at the Univer-
sity Of North Dakota. If the corps
were given a tryout under the un-
favorable conditions which would
most undoubtedly prevail at this time,
q fair estimate of its advantages or
disadvantages could not be secured"

ceived at the university, is as fol-
