There was an average at- tendance of twelve. The attendance in the class on electricity was never more than six or eight, while the glass in arithmetic was also very| small. The class in English was open to both the men and women, | but only the latter remained for it.| The instructors were not to blame but the fault was in the fact that the men failed to realize their deficiency. Trustee Godwin considered that it | would be a step in the wrong diree-| tion to have the classes stopped now | they had 'been organized. He be-| lieved that ways and means could be taken to stir up the men and get | them to attend. { Trustee Laird said that perhaps] the call for men at the front had| been the cause of many men not at-} | | tending the classes. | Trustee Farrell said that at the | present time closé on to one thous-| and men were employed at the loco-| motive works, and that no .doubt th management 'of the plant, and that] | many meh could be secured for the| classes. He felt that the classes should net be closed until® another trial was given.

Trustee Renton pointed out that the Board had given the sum of $500 for the classes, and that the Government grant amounted to $300, a total of $800. Of this amount $200 was now on hand, to run the rest of the term, and the committee was doing its best to get through on this amount. The classes for the la- dies had been largely attended, ap: peared to be the most important, and for this reason the commitfee did not 'feel like throwing away the money on the men.

That high-class Vaudeville and photoplays are becoming the favor- ite entertainment for Kingston thea- | tregoers is easily seen by the large | audiences that nightly attend the | Grand Opera House. Last night a | | splendid bill was presented before | OVERCOATS---8$8.50, one of the largest audiences of the | season. Blanche Sweet, a photo-| play favorite, was seen in a: picturi- | zation of the thrilling detective mas- | terpiece "The Clue," a mystery that | involves the secret military plans and | almost causes the death of an inno- | cent man. The other picturesgshown | were a two-reel Universal photoplay, | "The Funny Side of Jealousy," a comedy picture, "Their Bewitched Elopment," the Pathe Pictorial News | and the Pathe colored pictures. The vaudeville consisted of Levere and Palmer in a harmony singing act that is hard to beat. Their sing- ing of "The Rosary" was the best ever heard in the theatre, and won hearty applause. Miss Palmer re- cited James Whitcombe Rielly's "I Aint' Going to Cry No More," which was- followed by Mr. Levere's song, "Poor Old Girl," and a duet both sang "As the Sands of the Desert Worm." The same bill will be presented every afternoon and evening for the balance of the week. "KIDDIES" WILL ATTEND. Them | Half Holiday For Big Fair.
