However, actual attendance at classes last night gave indica- tions that some of the courses may be discontinued. Sixty-three students were in at- tendance last night. More are ex- pected tonight by Night School of- ficials, but, unless at least ten students are enrolled in each class, those courses which do not re- ceive much enrollment will be dropped. Courses which are in danger of being dropped are beginning type- writing and beginning shorthand. Only four persons registered for those classes last night. The knitting class, for which 12 per- sons originally signed, .dropped in actual atfendance last night and will be discontinued unless more interest is shown. The same is true of English and Spanish in- struction. There are 18 enrolled in the ad- vanced shorthand class and 14 in advanced typewriting. The permanent schedule for Night School courses will be an- nounced next week. Regular class instruction will begin Tuesday. ———.e——— ENCOURAGING AIR-MAIL WORD GIVEN CHAMBER udge Lok ewre Kiven De- tailled Report of Bridge | .
