NIGHT SCHOOL STARTED WITH 700 ENROLLED Large Variety of Classes Offered in Work at Technical. BY RADER WINGL , Sincere determination marked thd opening of night school this week at Technical High School. Mom than 700 students quietly went about the work of gaining an education. Night schools in Indianapolis are in an experimental stage with rules and methods changing to fit the needs of the students. The school is built for the individual, according to Edward Greene, principal. Almost every course offered in regular high schools can be taught at night school. Commercial courses predominate in enrollment, it is said, with salesmanship, commercial art, mechanical drawing, machine and tool design and architectural drafting heading the list in popularity. Classes for Girls Typing, shorthand, business English, business arithmetic, bookkeeping and comptometry also 1 show a full enrollment. Girls are not neglected, and ths classes in plain sewing and dressmaking meet regularly. One man asked for lessons in dress designing, Greene said, but he had to be turned away. There is no instruction in that subject. Instruction is not only for primary and beginning students, but also for the more advanced and skilled workers. A class in plumbing is offered to journeymen plumbers only. In the academic subjects, mathematics and English lead the list. The most popular subjects in the metal trades is machine shop practice, sheet metal pattern drafting and sheet metal shop problems. Meet Three Times a Week Automobile and electrical trades comes in for their share of* work. Classes are being held in automobile general repairing and carburetion, elements of electricity, electrical power plant maintenance, electrical signal, light and power wiring. Classes are held Monday, Wednesday and Friday from 7:30 to 9:30 p. m. Students may register at any time during the semester. Many gain the idea that the night schools are for the down and out men and women who “never had a chance.” A visit to a class room dispells the idea immediately. The students are earnest in their work and merely are grasping the opportunity to advance a step or two in the way of life. “Say, buddy,” said a night watchman, “we have almost 200 automobiles parked in the grounds every night there is a class.” NATURE CLUB ELECTS William Aust Named Temporary Head of Tech Group. William Aust was named temporary chairman of the Nature Study Club at Technical High School at the first meeting of the semester. Edith Zaps was named chairman of the nominating committee with Aurelia Davis and William Aust as assistants.
