In-the annual report wiich he has prepared School Superintendent Gra- kam Jhas made the foliowing reference to_evening schools: During the spring an additional evening School class for begmners was opened in the Taftville school. There was a total enroilment of 48 with an average attendance of 27. Thirty-eight of these pupils couid neither read nor write English. At the ciose or the school—twenty-five nights—all of the rupils were able to read easy story books. The school in Broadway was car- ried on as usual. The total enroil- ment was smaller than that of prev ous, vears, due, no doubt, to the in- crease of night work in the shops and factories and the smalier number of immigrants, the wood representative of the Nor- wich fuel committee.

The town of Preston must purchase the books used in the town whether the individual buys them or the town authorities huy them. Books can be hought at whole sale cheaper than at retail.
