EVENING SCHOOL
IS OPENED.
   The evening school opened last night in an encouraging manner with a total enrolment of 146, which is larger by 20 than on the opening night last year. In two of the classes there is a smaller attendance than last year, but in the other there is a larger number.
   In the elementary class in charge of Misses Larkin and Scanlan, there were 34 last night against 27 last year; in the Greek class, in charge of Theodore Govostes and Miss Watts, there were 37, a gain of 15 over last year; in bookkeeping, in charge of Miss Munroe, there were 11 in the class compared with 21 last year; in stenography, Misses Murray and Walsh instructors, the class numbered 45, two more than last year; the class of mechanical drawing numbered 19, last year but 13. Harry West was in charge of the latter class.
   Mrs. Clapp thinks the outlook is good for a successful term. The scholars last evening acted as if they meant business and the discipline was good.
