Such place is Evening school No

evenings a week to the study of
grade school subjects they never

cation and have come back to re-

however, are learning to read and
write for the first time.
Progress Rapid, as Rule
In one class a group, whose ages
ranged from 10 to so, were labo-
riousIy reading word for word the
story of "An Eskimo Baby" SIM
pie, primary story. These people
take their schooling to heart and
seldom miss an opportunity to ask
questions or devote extra time to
their work. Several even have been
known to refuse promotion to a
higher class on the ground that
they weren't sufficiently acquainted
with the work to warrant advance
ment.
An interesting student at this
school is Sebastian Kraus, who emf
grated from Germany five years ago.
"A tailor during the day, Kraus
spends three evenings each week
trying to master the English Ian
guage, task for man near the
Cougar mark.
Principal Stammler contends that
progress is much more rapid in the
night school than in the day classes
because the night pupils come with
a purpose. She cites an example
