Tenleytown section. He was graduated

We further feel that your presence

Your presence is also an encourage

some time in force by this association
TO bring our members and the purposes
of our organization in touch with prom

trict, so that they may understand not
only the local needs and necessities in
behalf Of our territory, but the general
public improvements we have advanced

OF the entire District, believing as we
do, that any appropriation OF money to
be expended in the District and every
public improvement established al

very great extent local benefit
1t has been and hope it will continue
to be the effort OF this association to
broaden its influence and to not only
support but inaugurate measures OF a
general character involving the welfare
OF the entire District. This policy is
illustrated by the numerous resolutions
which have been iavorably considered
and adopted by this organization within
the last two years.
We have advocated the improvement
OF Rock Creek Park which is located
in our section OF the District and we
have set forth in the most formidable
way possible, the importance and actual
necessity which exists and has so long
existed for the extension Of Thir-
teenth Fourteenth and Sixteenth

and for the benefit OF our section, but
for the benefit of the old city OF Wash

by his legal associates than Attorney
A. L. Shoemaker, whose Offices are in
the Columbian Building on Fifth

pearancc at the bar in 1893 and at once
entered upon the practice OF his pro-
fession. Coming to Washington at an
early age from Montgomery county,
where he was born. he passed through
the various branches OF the public
schools OF the city, graduating from
the high school some time prior to
1888, in which year he won his first
diploma as a graduate of the university

ready distinguished in the field of edu-
cational work among girls. The course
of study embraces English, Latin,
Greek, French, German, History and
Geography, Mathematics, Science and
Sacred Studies. The supreme import
ance OF English for English-speaking
people is a feature Of the work of this
institution which is impressed upon the
minds OF pupils. Every lesson, it is
explained by the principals, is made "a
part of the pupils training in English,
and her standing in any subject depends
in part on her clear and correct Eng

adapted to the requirements of little
folks, receives the same care and atten-
ton that are given to the advanced
grades.
