That the people of frankfort do
not believe in terminating their ed
ucation when they leave school is
shown by the interest taken in adult
education. Though the State set
January 3rd for the opening date of
all night schools, our town insisted
on having classes long before this
date, and consequently two live
classes-one in English and one in
Civics-both boasting an enroll
ment of more than twenty students,
are now well under way. A poul-
try class, which promises to be
very large, would have likewise
started several weeks ago if this
would have conceded
with the plans of Mr.. Hatfield, the
able but busy instructor employed
to teach this class. Nevertheless,
this class will start January 10th,
and continue to meet once per week
for a period of 10 weeks.
The personel of the classes is an in
teresting one, including bankers,
brokers, the postmaster
and assistants, proprietor Of theatre,
druggist, one minister, one Sunday
School superintendent, the presi-
dent of the local school board, the
president of the P. T. A., the vice
president of the Century Club, three
or four local teachers, several for
mer teachers, the B. & o. station
agent and many others. Posters
have been placed in this and nearby
towns advertising these classes and
cordially inviting all men and wO-
men to attend.
