Coast There are no under-towS and
side currents Ia catch the unwary
bathcr, the beach is like velvet and the
regularity with which the big rollers
dash on the beach make the bathing ut
Ocean City a positive luxury.
Ocean City is rapidly attaining the
reputation of being the only seaside
resort of the Atlantic Coast. More pco-
pie come to our city every year and this
season will eclipse them all.
About this time last year the Sisters
of the St Roses Industrial School of
Washington, ID. G.. were just putting
the finishing touches To their new sum
mcr home ut Ocean City. As it now
stands completed with its broad shady
porches. spacious halls and bright airy
rooms. il is indeed Home that the
Institution may well be proud of.
An artcsian well i'll the rear of the
main building, supplies water, so cool
as to make ice unnecessary and clear as
crystal which is pumped by wind
mill to the tank supplying the house so
that with the electric lights through
out the building, they have every con
vcniencc of Il city home.
The Mother Superior. when seen not
long since. said as does every one who
visits Ocean City. that she was more
than pleased with the new summer home
and the benefit derived from the pure
air, the fresh food. and the delightful
bathing: that both teachers and children
were eagerly looking forward to the
first of June 1T which time they leave
Washington for the Beach.
She expects Il large number of visiting
Sisters down throughout the season and
it Is proposed to establish Normal
School for the teachers in the Schools of
almost all the large cities of the South
during the summer months .-Oc,on
