Mrs. Annie Bradley Uses Umbrella
With Effect.

Mrs. Annie Bradley OF 2o1O street north
west, smashed her umbrella into flinders
over the heads and shoulders OF two young
men 1917 street and Pennsylvania ave-
nue. about o'clock yesterday afternoon.
A crowd OF more than one hundred per-
sons witnessed the incident which was ex-
citing while 1t lasted. When the umbrella
flew to pieces Mrs. Bradley hurried to a
cab and left the scene.
Mrs. Bradley said the men had been fol-
lowing her for several hours, and that she
became exasperated at their insulting atti-
tude. Her action in defending herself, she
said. was entirely justifiable.
According to Mrs. Bradley's story. she
had been shopping at a number Of stores
during the afternoon. and every time she
came upon the stiset size saw the two men
waiting for her. She finally became much
agitated and sought refuge IN cafe ct

mer by the publicity given to two OF the
principals, Mr. Emery NJ. Wilson OF the
Central and Mr.. NJ. F. Swartzel of the
Eastern. People who never before thought
of high school instruction are asking all
about the high schools-how many are there
and what they are.
Prior to the year 1876 there were no high
schools in the District OF Columbia AS
early as 1s4s the city council passed an
act to authorize the establishment OF such
a grade Of school, but for some unknown
reason the authorization was never acted
upon. For twenty-eight years no step was
taken toward Offering better educational
advantages to the graduates of the gram
mar schools, but in 1876 the Advanced
Grammar School for girls was organized
In the Seaton building. The succeeding
year a similar school for boys was insu-
tuted In the Thompson building under the
instruction of Mr.. L. A. Paul, with a course
of study limited to one year. In 1878 bet
ter accommodations were offered by the
removal of the school to a building facing
Judiciary Square, and the first assistant
was provided.
Advanced Grammar Schools.
The Advanced Grammar School proved so
great a success and so eager were the peo-
pie of Washington TO take advantage OF
the opportunities provided that the course
was extended to two years and still an
other teacher was provided. In 1880 the
high school was formally organized and
opened in the Franklin building. The sue
cess that attended the new organization
was such that every inch of available space
was soon absorbed 1t was then discov-
cred that an independent and specially de-
signed building was an absolute necessity.
This was brought home with particular
force when in 1881 the course of study was
heightened to three years. The matter had
been called to the attention of Congress,
and IN 1880 an appropriation was secured
for a building to be used exclusively by
the Washington High School. The new
building was first occupied in 1852 by the
consolidated Advanced Grammar School
for Girls and the Boys High School, with
Mr.. Paul as principal.
So immediate was the appeal of the
school to the citizens OF the city that as
early as 1887 1t was necessary to rent sew
eral small houses in the vicinity of the
school. which were known as the annex.
But even then a halliday system of in
struction was necessary for the first and
second-year classes.
Congress made appropriation in 1883 for

more In the way OF individual instruction
and attention than had been possible at the
crowded parent school on o street. At the
Capitol Hill High School. 1t was then
called, the academic and scientific courses
of the first year only were pursued. The
new school experienced a rapid growth,
and from the start stood out prominently
on the horizon Of high school history. 1t

an addition to the building at 9TH and o
streets and the new wing, in which the
library and the laboratories are now To-
Gated, was ready for occupancy in 1870
Even then the crowded condition continued
and the policy OF having branch schools
was inaugurated. Much comment has
arisen over this policy, and at the present
time the concentration OF all business pu-
