SHALL WE HAVE A NIGHT SCHOOL

The news item elsewhere in this
issue in regard to the possibility Of
q night school indicates practical
move in the right direction.
The night school movement, as
operated in other communities, is
not primarily for the benefit Of the
younger generation, although they
are profiting from 1t, but 1t is
equally for the benefit of the
adult who desires to pursue his
education along some line that
was missed during his youth, or
that has aroused his interest in
later years. Anyone who has
taken an extension, or correspond
ence course knows how difficult
: studying alone is, and how much
more valuable the group instruc-
ton is. It is to satisfy these needs
that the night school is most valu-
able.
Our high school represents too
great an investment to lie idle If
there is a chance Of additional
use of the plant. When one con-
siders that it is in actual use less
than six hours a day, five days Of
the week and nine months of the
year 1t is plain that the greater
benefit that can be derived the
better.
However, If we are to have a
night school 1t must be determine
ed by the interest displayed by
prospective pupils. It cannot be
begun until enough interest has
