THE WOMAN'S COLLEGE
Tenth Scholastic Term Begins
September ll-Most Favor
able Outlook for Ensuing
Year.

The tenth scholastic year of the
Woman's College. this city, will be.
gin on Thursday, the eleventh of
September.
Perhaps never before in its his.
tory were conditions more favor
able to a year of healthy, helpful
activity than in those which fore.
shadow the coming term. Few
changes were required in the
buildings beyond the annual re-
freshment of paint and paper.
Few and unimportant changes
take place i'll the faculty. Four
OF the original mem mbers enter upon
their tenth year of service, while
OF the sixteen regular members
the average term of service with
the Institution is four years. Mrs.
a. L. Brooks, of Alabama. who
for the past five years has been at
National Park Seminary, becomes
lady principal in place of Mrs.
Myers. Miss Hope Dill, of Hunt
ingdon, Pa. a graduate Of Smith
College, takes the place in the
preparatory faculty of Miss Smi.
ley; Miss Gring takes the place
of Miss Steckel in the musical
faculty; Miss Helen Constien, of
Ashland, Pa, becomes trained
nurse in place of Miss GrieSmer,
and Miss Mary Albert, Latrobe,
Pa, becomes secretary.
Prof. Beckwith, the director of
music, has spent the summer in
study amid the most inspiring
and helpful musical advantages
in London. Miss Lauterbach,
teacher of French and German,
has through her vacation visit to
her home in Leipzig come again
into direct touch with the vernac
ular. Miss Miner, teacher of
mathematics, will gain a general
inspiration from the summer spent
abroad. President Apple, while
utilizing his short European trip
primarily as a vacation, lost no
opportunity to visit schools while
abroad and to gather ideas on
every hand that might be helpful.
These will be embodied into the
work at Frederick wherever prac-
ticable.
OF general interest to students,
old and new, will be the announce.
ment of the paving of Church
street in front of the college dur
ing the summer. This will greatly
enhance the beauty, comfort and
convenience of the college sur
roundings.
The admirable arrangement
whereby a graduate nurse makes
her home in the institution as
student teacher, and while ordi.
narily busted with her own studies,
in times of sickness devotes heI
whole time and professional skill
to the care of the patient in the
secluded precincts of the infirm'
ary, is continued. 1t is ineXpen
sive to the institution and most
satisfactory to both students and
parents. The college physician
continues in the employ of the
institution and calls when needed
without expense to parents. This
combined employment of physi'
clan and nurse constitutes almost
a health insurance to patrons. 1t
at all events guarantees closer
professional supervision and care
of health and attention in sick
ness than is enjoyed in the aver
age home.
AS the coming year completes
the decade of the institution un-
der its present management, no
effort will be spared to make it
the best year in every way. To
that end all the varied energies
of directors, faculty, students
and alumna will be directed.
Prof. James ii. Apple is the
president of this excellent insti-
tuition, and will minister to its
material and intellectual welfare
during the coming year as ably
and efficiently as in the past.
