One day when winter had just be

Uncle Wiggily had built his hollow
stump bungalow, the rabbit gentle
man twinkled his pink nose and
said:
Il will hop out and look around
to see if everything is all right be
fore it gets any colder. He had
some carrots in his cellar and also
some turnips and cabbage, but he
thought he might, perhap, see some
other food he could store away So
that when deep snow covered the
ground he would not have to wade
through it to get something to

ATTACKS NIGHT
CLASSES TRAIN
OLDER FOLKS
Learn to Read and Write
in Grades; Ages Vary
From 10 to go.
BY RAIDER WINGET
(Times School Page EditOr)

One of the most individual eve
ming schools in indianapolis is oper-
ated for Negroes at CriSpuS Attucks
high school.
There is nothing like it in the
school system of the city, and it is
outstanding in results obtained.
There is an enrolment at present
of about 200, and the total will be
boosted to about 800 before the end
of the term, according to M Nolcox,
principal.
The high school accommodates
about two-thirds of the enrolment
with an age average of 20 years and
extremes of about 16 and as.
Old Folks EnroIe
The elementary school, however,
has extremes of eighteen and sixty
years with an average somewhat
higher than the high school.
The higher average for the grades
is caused by awakening" of the
Negro in indianapolis. Those who
started in the grades ten years ago
and dropped out now are returning
to complete their education. The
older persons, perhaps, never re-
ceived the opportunity to start, their
grade school work and now are
grasping at the chance to complete
their elementary education.
Old folks who neither can read
nor write their names come for in
struction. They are given in-s
diyidual aid in reading and writing
and are encouraged to continue
their work. A number of them are
content to learn to read the Bible
and write their names.
Enthusiasm Keen
Enthusiasm is a poor word to de-
scribe their interest in the work.
They come night after night with
a logged determination to master
"book learning" They are guided
along scientific lines Of education
until their desires are gratifed.
The high school classes are typi-
cal of other night schools. The age
average is about the same, and
most Of the students are in night
school for the same cause. Many
of them we're forced to drop their
regular high school courses to start
work, and now the night school
gives them the chance to obtain a
diploma.
Variety of Subjects
A unique grading card designed
by Nolcox at Harvard university is
used. The teacher punches a star
on the card for every portion of
work completed. The students take
great pride in their cards, and work
to "shoot holes" in the record.
The work offered includes ele-
mentary and high school work, sew
ing, woodwork, automobile mechan-
les, sheet metal work and all COM
mercial subjects. Students may
enroll at any time, and officials Of
the school seek the chance to aid
prospective students in the selection
of their work.
