Two Noted Brooklyn Teachers to Open a
School Here.
From the two leading papers OF Brook
lyn, N. Y, the Brooklyn Daily Eagle
and the Daily Standard Union, the fol-
lowing extracts are taken with reference
to the establishment of day school for
girls in our city.
1t certainly speaks we'll for the lit
erary advancement of this place, when
two such well-known and highly success
full educators can be induced to leave the
old and well-established order of things
in the fourth city in the union, and give
the advantage of their experience and
ability to Los Angeles. The school is
located at 410 West Tenth street, con-
venient to the electric and cable car
lines. Miss Parsons is sister of G. w.
Parsons, Of 139 South Broadway.

THE MISSES PARSONS AND DENNEN TO OPEN A
SCHOOL IN Los ANGELES.
worthy compliment has been paid to two
accom- plished Brooklyn instructors the Misses
Alice Knight Parsons, A. B., and Jeanne Whit
ney Dennen-by the citizens of Los Angeles,
Cal
Since 1885 they have been the principals of
the New York avenue institute. They have
given the institute such repute as comes only
from bread and comprehensive educational
views complete grasp of the problems which
scholastic training solves and intelligent pur-
pose intelligently carried out. The results OF
their work havs neen shown in the recor s of
the pupils-records which no seat of learning
of IT'S scope would have reason for concealing.
1t has recently been announced that the Brook.
lyn careers of the Misses Parsons and Dennen
have virtually closed. They are going to Cali
fornia. The announcement Is accomplished
by the intimation that this change of scene is
to some extent due to what the princiral
have succeeded in accomplishing here. Over
lures from Los Angeles came in shape which
in Itself involved the handsomest kind of com.
pliment, and the result has been the establish
ment of a new school there, of which the
Misses Parsons and Depnen wi a have charge.
Thy carry. with them the highest recon-
mendations from such exalted authorities as
the president of Yale college, the president of
Smith college, and the president of Packer in
stitute. Their departure from Brooklyn is
much regretted by those in position to know
the character of the work they have done here.
The aim of the principals will be to make
this school equal If not better than any similar
school in the Golden State. While the design
OF the principals will not e to make their
school preparatory to college, they will ex-
pect pupils to meet the requirements for enter
ing such colleges as Smith. Wellesley, and
Stanford. An efficient corps of instruc ors have
been engaged. In modern languages pupils
will have the advantage of studying under ma.
tive teachers. In music and art unexceptional
advantages are offered.
Miss Parsons is a graduate of Wells college,
in Aurora, N. Y. This is the college from which
Mrs. Grover Cleveland graduated. After leav-
ing Wells, Miss Parsons went abroad and spent
two. years studying in Paris, Vienna, and

and Dennen wish them the success their tai.
