Mr. Elliott's letter reads: The copy of the dictionary you handed me yesterday, and which you are using In your educational campaign, I have examined in a limited measure. Many points of excellence are at once apparent Authority of compactness of form, helpfulness in pronunciation, excellent maps, census tables and historical data all of which are in convenient form and ready for the student's or layman's immediate use. It is a good thing. Thanking you for compliments. Respectfully, F. M. ELLIOTT.

Three hundred Hammond persons last responded to the invitation of the board of education to. avail themselves of a free night school education. The number will undoubtedly grow, but already It indicates that the night school is a step in the right direction to bring the school to the people. Kvery ne) uh horhood is well represented. Some families were represented by two or more members. It was nothing unusual to see a married couple among those enrolled, and debating among themselves as to what nights each should attend so that one or the other might be at home with the baby. There were married women in line waiting to put in an application for sewlne. miliinery and cooking.

The board last week notified the company that unless the repair work would be under way within ten days that the city wonlci do the. work and that its sureties woild bo sued for the cost. The ten days expire next Monday. In view of the many repairs that have to be made in arious places along the street, traffic on Hohman street will very likely have to be limited to lipht vehicles, as the work necessitates the taking up of the old pavement wherever it is in bad shape.
