success by all who know of tho work
dono The average ntteudnuco of tho
class waB from eight to twelve young
men and boys This was tho first at
tempt at anything of tho kind in tho Y
M 0 L but as it has proven so much
of n success it will undoubtedly bo con
tinued in tho league work again next

this opportunity of again publloly ex
pressing thoir appreciation of the most
efficient work dono by Principal J B

L Sessions W W Huohks
President Secretary
In Norfolk there are a great many
young men who on account of tho fnct
that they are comiHilled to earn their
own living are unnble to nttend our
public schools Yot theso young men
are justly entitled to nt least an oppor
tunity for improvement along educa
tional lines The present financial con
dition of tho school district will not
admit of the establishment of n night
school and the 1 M C L has attempted
something along the line It was u
long Btep in the right direction and
much good has come from it I wish it
could be made possible for tho league to
take up the work upon a lnrgerscalo
J B Baknes
My Dear Mr Hughes In answer to
your request for a word relative to the
value of the work of the night school
conducted by you in connection with
that of the Y M 0 L permit me to
say that I hold tho same in very high
regard Such means afford the only
opportunities for nu education to many
young men of our larger cities hence
the evening or night school has become
a splendid aid to the regularly estab
lished hchools It is n noble work you
have inaugurated here the good you
have done we have no menus of measur
ing but the gratitude of tho young
men whom you have assisted in the
absence of a more material token will
in itself be a pleasant reward I hope
you will be in such position ns to en
able you to continue the good work
during the coming year
Sincerely yours
