CITY AND DISTRICT. THE NIGHT SCHOOL OPENED. Scenes at the Fran Ballding Last Ev one BOYS ANXIOUS To LEARN—A SMALL ATTENDANCE OF GIRLS— WHAT THE BOYS AND THE TEACHERS SAID. A fringe of dusk objects ran around the rail- ing in front of the Franklin school building last evening, and similar clusters, like black spots, could be seen in the dim light on the steps and sidewalks. A closer inspection showed that these objects were boys who were waiting for the doors to open for the first session of the night school for w'ite children. Nearer the door stood a few giris, who rather timidly stood apart and seemed to shrink from observation, Perhaps it was the gloomy night or the fact that It was a new experience, or may be the policeman at the corner had something to do Siu At at any Fate, the groups were very qulet. Occasionally a laugh could be heard and voices would call out, “Jim, are you there?” “Where are you, Pat?” and Jim and Pat would respond, and then there would be quiet again, broken only by the marmar of voices, hat do you do during the day?” asked a STAR reporter of a. well-dressed boy about si: teen Yeurs of age, who was waiting with the “Tam learning to lay bricks,” was the reply, and then he went on to say that he had not been able to go to school since he was a small boy. Presently the door opened and THE BOYS WENT TROOPING IN, and were shown toa room on the second floor, in the south end of the building. Supervising Principals Stewart and Gage were present and alco Mr. Quinby, who is the principal of the night school, with his assistants, Miss M. Kelly and Miss Flora Henley. The boys ali crowded into one room, and the fifty six seats were unable to accommodate more than half the number. When they had taken off thelr ats and came in the lighta very good idea id be obtained of the personnel of the new school. The general impression obtained from thelr faces was favorable. Asone of the teachers remarked, they were nice looking boys, They seemed to have faces of more than usual intelli- gence and were well dressed. In age they ran from about twelve years totwenty-five or thirty. There were but few of the latter. Perhaps twenty was the maximum age, There were several mustaches and one bald head, the | atter evidently premature, but the majority were boys of school age. The girls got off in a corner of thenasel ve and numbered ten or ve. They were evidently shop girls, and f the teachers said that she hoped more girls would come, and special efforts would be made to induce them to come. DIVIDING THE SCHOOI.. As soon as they were all seated Mr. Quinby,in order to grade them into two schools, invited | those who could not do addition and substrac- tion to go into the adjoining room. The re- sponse was very prompt, and it was noticed that those who felt themselves wanting in these Tespects were the older ones, ‘This rather crade grading had the effect of ‘relieving the over- crowded room, and as others came dropping in | sents nber which is a very se. “I think that more would ve here, Mr, Stewart, “but tor the tact that a ver’ sy one and the boys are so much occupied that many have been taken from the day schools, Atter the holidays there will be a large attendance.’ In the second room the lady teacherssupplied the boys with paper and asked them to write their nun: 8, the letters of the alphabet and the numerals, Ouly one boy was found who could in both rooms were tiken, maxing the nu of scholars ubout one hundred, good bezinning for the enterpri * remarked this season re hand writing. There were three boys discovered who also attended the day schools, and they | were allowed to go home. SUPERINTENDENT POWELL EXAMINES THE BOYS. In the other room, Mr. Powell, the su- perintendent of the public schools, came in and put the boys through an oral ex-| amination in arithmetic, in order to as- | certain what course of Instruction should be | adopted, After they had wrestled- with such questions as how much « gallon ot milk would be at seven cents a quart, andp bushei of pea- nuls ul ten cents a peck, and endeavored to tek the superintendent how many buahels of oats his horse wonld eat in three weeks if he fed. him a halt peck roe nes. aduy; Mr. Powell suid tune they spowede Dreoy fale averages Hee and there be picked out a boy who looked rather vacant the-o questions and sent hin into the other room, bat as u rule nearly every hand went up whea he asked what the answer was, Some of tie boys when they answered rose in thelr places, showing their public school | training.

MR. RANDALL, IN HIS DISSENTING REPORT, says that the principal change is the distribu- tion of certain appropriation bills.
