Buffalo's evening at fended by between 14,000 and 15,000 may have to be closed early thi Never has Buffalo had a more pep ular better-appreciated institution than the night schools, and.

there Is but little doubt but that; the counoll will come to the rescue, educational officials declare. Increased attendance and the on sequent hiring of new teachers, are reasons given for the added cost -of operation of the big It is understood that enough of the original $100,000 appropriation, for 111 5 1916 is still available to keep the evening classes going for four weeks. There are seven, weeks 'still remaining in theterm whicb ends March 24th The matter of, more money for evening school work has b'sen brought before Superintendent Emerson, and no doubt will be, brought to the attention of Councilman Heald this week. With the evening schools opening the doors of opportunity to thou sands, there Is little possibility or allowing the schools to sessions before the regular It is figured that the operative cost of the'evening schools -under -very careful and scientific administration will cost $11,800 more than last year. About 22 more teachers-than last year were necessary because of the larger classes and at 2 a night brings this item up to $4,800 more for teaoh-ing cost than in 1914-1916.

An extra or thereabouts was added on to the general teaching cost by increases in salaries granted a number of instructors, while a $13,000 deficiency from 1914-1915 had to be figured in. In 1914-1915 just $90,000 was appropriated for evening- school work and it cost $102,000 approximately to run the classes that year, leaving about $12,000 to. be added on thU season. 7' (J Just how popular the evening schools are, becoming and' what a fixture, they are. is shown by the fact that In the eleventh week of the first term of the 1916-1916 season Just closed, exactly 11,080 pupils were in-actual attendance, while in the same, period, a -year ago there were only 8,800 going to classes at every session.

This shows an increase of about 2,289 pupils for this year. Great credit is due Superintendent. Emerson and Dr. Smith, who is director of extension work for the educational department, and who is also at the head of the evening schools.
