ADVERTISEMENT FOR WORKERS' EVENING SCHOOL
[Text] Please hear a few words from me.

What is your biggest disadvantage? It is as described in the popular
saying: You can say it but you cannot write it; what is written you
cannot understand; given the figures, you cannot compute them. You
are working people. You have to work, and you have no one to teach you.
How can you learn to write a few words and do a few figures? Now there
is an excellent way. Our First Normal School has started an evening
school, specially for you workers. Monday through Friday, there will
be 2 hours every evening. We teach letter writing and accounting,
which are needed by you constantly. We will issue you the lecture
notes, free of charge. Evening school will not interfere with your
work. Those who wish to attend please enroll promptly at the registry
office of the normal school within a week.

Some people are worried about the situation and afraid of violating
the curfew. We can guarantee you on this point. When you attend
school, we will issue you a lecture card. When stopped by the soldiers or police, all you have to do is to say that you are a student
of the evening school of the normal school. Should you run into any
difficulty, we will serve as your guarantors. Please set your mind
at ease on this point. Please come and register promptly; do not delay
any more.
