THE SCHOOL IN ENGLISH
IS PROGRESSING FINELY
One Hundred and Sixty Foreign
speaking Residents Are Now En
rolled, Fifteen of Whom Are
Woiren
The unprecedented enrollment of
foreign-speaking residents of the bor
ough, now numbering 160, in the school
established by the Rev. J, H. Hoyer,
pastor of the First M. E. church, to
teach these people the English language
V.JIS announced this moruing by the
founder to be very pleasing to him
and to have exceeded his most san
guine expectations.
Of the total number enrolled, fifteen,
or nearly one-tenth, are females. The
work is progressing satisfactorily and
the Kev. Mr. Hoyer is now assisted in
his labors by six or seven of the local
Higih school Seniors and a number of
members of the Bpwonth Lieague of his
church.
As soon as the pupils are advanced
sufficiently to spell words they are giv
en a first reader especially prepared for
such work, which is divided into three
farts. The first part is a simple re
view of American history, the second
]>art is devoted to geography and the
third part consist", of civics.
Most of the male students are em
ployed at the local plant of the Penn
sylvania Steel Company, some working
in the daytime, others at night. The
largest attendance at school on any
one night so far has been 89. Gram
mar and sentence construction are the
gist of the work up to the present time.
Wiliiam IJ. Bennett, superintendent
of anthracite missions, located at
I'ottsville, attended the session of the
local school Monday evening and deliv
ered an interesting address on "Char
acter Building." A review of the -work
done bv the scholars since the school
commenced was held Wednesday even
ing and showed great advance by all
who have 'been attending sessions reg
ularly.

its path and was run d<jwn, while the
occupants were spilled in all direction?.
