Any one who is willing to work ten hours a day at the brick-yard, or in the laundry, through one or two years, in order that he or she may have the privilege of studying academic branches for two hours in the evening, has enough bottom to warrant being further educated.
After the student has left the night-school he enters the day-school, where he takes academic branches four days in a week, and works at his trade two days.

Besides this he usually works at his trade during the three summer months.

As a rule, after a student has succeeded in going through the night-school test, he finds a way to finish the regular course in industrial and academic training.

No student, no matter how much money he may be able to command, is permitted to go through school without doing manual labour.

In fact, the industrial work is now as popular as the academic branches.
