The arithmetic class in the Y. M. C. A. night school has always drawn the largest attendance, and little wonder. There is scarcely a subject that a young man uses more in everyday life. The number of men whose education in arithmetic has been neglected from one cause and another is surprisingly large. But the need is not only great, it is well provided for by the association night school. A thorough course of 50 lessons is offered in elementary arithmetic and the second year a man may return and complete advanced arithmetic. The instructor is Prof. L. P. Jocelyn, of the high school faculty, whose ability to teach mathematics is unquestioned and who takes a personal interest in the welfare and advancement of each student. The work done in these classes is of such a character that a student who has completed his course satisfactorily can enter the high school without further examination. The pride of the Y. M. C. A. night school, however, is the fact that its opportunities are not costly but are within the reach of the poorest young man who has and desire to better himself. One may take arithmetic by joining the association, which costs $2 a year, and admits to many other valuable privileges, and by paying a tuition fee of $2.
