The college la called the Washing ton Square collegiate division of New York University A, largo per cent of the students are school teachers and professional tn.env wiro are Innoc ulated with so strong a desire to com plete tlveAr college education that they are willing to turn night Into day, the cay having duties of tta own. ' FROM' EVERY WALK. f There we' lawyers, chauffeurs engi neers, , motormen and- students from almost every wlk of life, who realise the power of knowledge and seek to gain that eminence which education alone "caii give, .-; !V?:' y .'.-.'. , Married women who desire to rise above the level of the "pty round of cares the day brings," form one group of students.; These usually go in for literature or languagea" The majority of them live m the neighborhood of Stuyvsant Square "Waslilngrton Square! nn J rnoma- Dart, . - n There are also foreigners 1n the col ony. A small group of Japanese iform one circle. - This circle Includes the well-known M1sa Nobu Furua, & grad uate "fef the normal school of Nagasaki, Japan, . and there also a Chinese among those present. . ( . i '! THE DEGREE CONFERRED. . ? The lurgest contingent is composed mainly of principals and instructors from smaller towns -w'-ho have no col lege degrees. The might college does not confer the degree of bachelor ,of arts, but it does? give the degree of bachenor of science to pedagogy. This Is a stepping tone o higher things. - ; There are "commuters" who come from Albany and one who comes all the way from Easton, Pa., o pursue their night studies. Last year a girl prepared herself forXhe senior class at Vassar and while there continued to come ito the night school, (taking spe cial courses in English and Mathemat ics. .-'.'". ' In one way the curriculum of the night college 3s very elastic, for inas mtich aa the Institution' 4s yef in its experimental stages, it a4ms to supply everj' demand for collegiate work on the part of those who worie -by day. The night colleger is not 'endowed and Is entirely dependent on its fees, o Its supply of instruction Is made to meet the demand. Languages and English courses are, the most popular. One class is making a epecial study of seventeenth centuiry literature. In science, hlstiory.tpsj'cnology end eco nomics, one sees groups ot classes sametLmcs' containing only two Or three students.. All that one needs to do to get rtightt courses in the work he wishes to pursue, is to find a few friends to Join him in a request tor a course in such-and-such a study. The university has no desire to make ' profit out of these classes and is per fectly -willing to give any-course if the class wMU merely pay Its own instruc tor a nominal fee toward lighting and heating. PREPARATORY COURSES. 0 There are regular preparatory col lege courses given and for these there Is a steady and increasing demand. If a man or woman wishes to lay the corner-stone for a college education. they find all the requisites here, or if they prefer a business education, tne evening law class .'twill grant a bacca laureate in law, and the School of Com merce and Science and Finance main- tains a, full night curriculum. The night college, however, is no short cut to a degree. The night stu dent who is striving for a degree must Have had a thorough high school edu cation and be prepared to etand tests in all the branches he w ishes to study. .In addition to his .regular' work, ho mav.take two hours of lectures five nights a week, end this with hl other courses is about all even those with an infinite capacity can take, owimg to their limited time to work ton their studies during the day, i The average day student who gives all his time to his work can easly take fifteen hofrrs a week.

The most serious criticism that oould be made, of the monster ship, the Lusl tianla. is that it is built Inside to look as little like a ship as possible.
