NIGHT SCHOOLS.

?i IT wa » with considerable surprise that I noticed m the Saturday's edition of your valuable paper a local re "the £ e88 !!l? ?* ab <"»& evening school m Hamilton. 1 In .reply, I beg to inform you that such a school has been m exutence m Hamilton East for some time past, under the following oircu instances • On my arrival -here, some six 'months 'since, I conceived the plan of adding to my inoonxe by holding evening classes three meats a week frbin 7 tilt 9, at the very moderate charge of one shilling per week, and oannofc say that my expeuta. tions were fully realised, as the result will ahow. My average attendance amounted to two, consequently after deducting Is 3d per week for lights, I realised the baud* some sum of 9d per week, equal to 3d per night or lid per hour. This I continued for aboufour months, with no better success. I then removed the school to my private residence, increasing my terms to £1 Is per quarter,-which resulted m th 6 attendance of three pupils only, which was not very encouraging. However, on the completion of th» newschool £ contemplate reopening my evening class, on the same terms as ab arst, viz. Is per week, wh«n £ trust to be , better supported. — 1 am, &o, H. O.
