Fellow workers, come listen to us speak a few words of plain talk:

What is most inconvenient for you all? It is what is commonly said: what is spoken cannot be written, what is written cannot be recognized, and what has numbers cannot be calculated. You all who are working people, you must both labor and have no one to teach you, so how can you write a few characters and calculate a few sums? Now there is a best method, which is that our First Normal School has established a night school. In the first half of this year, there were many students, and some among you may have heard of it. This school is specially established for you workers. From Monday to Friday, class is held for two hours every night, teaching letter writing and accounting, all of which you need at all times. The teaching materials will be distributed by us and do not cost money. Attending class at night also does not interfere with your work. If you wish to request to study, please hurry to the registration office of the Normal School within one week to sign up.

Some say the times are not good and fear violating the martial law order. On this matter, we can provide a guarantee. After enrolling in the school, each person will be issued a lecture pass. If you encounter military police who question you, saying you are a student of the Normal School night school will present no obstacle. If there are any difficulties, we will act as your guarantor. On this level, you can rest assured. Come quickly to sign up, do not delay any longer.
