Adult School organized at Lynch's
No. 6-Lynch's School, near Lincoln
has organized one of the most in
teresting and helpful programs i'll
teaching adults, in Sussex county
The first meeting was held January
3rd with a very large attendance
The people in the district are Sc
interested in such a splendid Oppor-
tunity that it is doubtful that the
school house will be large enough
to accommodate them all. Profes-
sor Hudson, of Milford, has a very
large music class, which is receiv-
ing instruction on different stringed
instruments. Laura c. Walls is
the teacher in business English and
business arithmetic. Dora Calhoun
has a class in handcraft. A ques
tiOn box is used, so that each in
dividual may have the opportunity
to ask questions to be discussed at
the next meeting. Teaching adult
schools in the past years has been a
miserable failure, due to the fact it
was open for illiterates only. Pro-
gressive people are always willing
to obtain knowledge.
