ONE HUNDRED AT NIGHT SCHOOL

THAT IS PRESENT PROSPECT OF Y. M. C. A. NIGHT SCHOOL

The Corp of Teachers and the Classes They Have - Excellent Chance for Employees

"The Y. M. C. A. night school has twice as many applications this year as ever before," said Secretary Johnson yesterday. Four years ago there were thirty-six students; three years ago, fifty-three; two years ago, ninety; a year ago, sixty; and this year the prospects are for considerably over a hundred.

Ten classes have been formed with a corps of nine paid teachers. There are John R. Allen, junior professor in mechanical engineering, who will conduct a course in heating and ventilation; W. H. Hawkes, of the High School faculty, who will lecture on electricity and magnetism; H. J. Goulding will have a class in mechanical drawing. Mr. Goulding is secretary of the engineering department in the U. of M. and has taught mechanical drawing here for eight seasons. H. E. Gardner, who was formerly principal in the schools of Missouri, will have geometry, algebra, and arithmetic. Mr. Gardner is a post graduate student of Michigan, and specialized in mathematics. George R. Kelly wil conduct a course in civil service, and Roy V. Coffey will teach bookkeeping. Mr. Coffey has been a teacher of bookkeeping for five years for Brown's Business college, which has its headquarters at Peoria, Ill. He is at present taking the higher commercial course in the University. J. C. K. Lindhout will teach penmanship. He is a senior law and was trained in the Ferris Institute at Big Rapids. Warren H. Smith, a Michigan M. A., will conduct the work in reading, spelling, and business English. Mr. Smith was formerly principal of the schools at Pontiac and Lansing, and is at present in the real estate business in this city.

The great rush in the work this year, said Mr. Johnson, is for arithmetic and English. An extra section had to be arranged for to accommodate them. All the applicants in the school are employed boys and men, varying in age from 14 to 50 years.
