Dewolf H.C.
Pine Bluff, Ark.

Dear Sir,
In reply to yours of the 6" I would say that the establishment of a night school at this time would be likely to operate unfavorably upon the day school. Our night schools have very generally failed for want of patronage, but I shall favor one at Pine Bluff whenever the school rooms are constantly filled during the day, which ought to be at once. Let something like the enclosed notice be published and read in the Sab. School and churches.
Very respectfully,
Wm. M. Colby
Supt. Edn.
