JEWISH WORKMEN AT SCHOOL.

Enrollment at the night school of the Jewish Educational Alliance
started yesterday at headquarters, 1702 Locust street. About
eighty-five enrolled. Jacob BILLIKOPF, who is at the head of the
alliance, said last night that he expected an enrolment of more
than 100.

The pupils will be divided into four classes, according to their
advancement in the art of speaking English. Almost all of those
who have enrolled are grown men, some nearly 60 years old,
and all are employed during the day. Few of them can speak
English passably and many not at all.

The classes will be taught by Jacob BILLIKOPF, Miss Dora FISHER,
Karl SCHREIBER, Miss Clara STERN and one other teacher not yet
appointed. All the grade school branches will be taught and special
classes in English conversation will be arranged. Enrollment will be
continued today and classes will begin tomorrow at 8 p.m. and
continue throughout the winter.
