All members of this society were very glad of the newly born Lithuanian newspaper Lietuva in Chicago.
A question was brought before the meeting as to how to establish an evening school for Lithuanians. It was said, that in such a large city as Chicago, we must have four evening schools. It was decided that Lithuanians ought to have at least two evening schools. A committee was elected to find favorable place to open an evening school for Lithuanians.
