Graham Hall Is one Of the few Min
neapolis institutions where children and
Young girls can enjoy the advantages +
of q, home and Of modern school-the /
advantages Of a home in the truest
sense Of the word, with mother love and
mother care for all the troubles in the
lives Of the little ones-and the ad-
vantages of school governed by
capable and intelligent corps OF In
structors according to the best and most
scientific principles Of education. The
value of such a school is appreciated
at home and abroad and pupils from
all parts Of the northwest come to
Graham Hall.
The growth of Graham Hall since its
opening about six years ago has been
extraordinary. Miss Zulema A. Ruble
and Miss Carrie F. Bartlett, the prin-
cipals. opened the school the first year
In q house at Nicollet avenue and
Twenty-fourth street. From the begin.
ming the demand for more room was
urgent, and shortly thereafter the man
agement Of the school took possession
Of the two Miller. residences near
Eighteenth street on First avenue 5.
t. More Room Needed.
In this home they have boarded and
taught their young charges, but re-
Gently it became apparent that the
number of pupils who applied for admis-
sion was far in excess Of the accommo-
dations, The houses are delightfully."-
located, near enough to the center OF
the city to make them practically with
in walking distance, yet in a neigh
borhood which gives charming atmos-
phere of exclusiveness and retirement.
Finally the property was bought by
Miss Rubel and Miss Bartlett and last
fall the George Miller house., which has
been used as the schoolhouse proper,
received large and up-to-date addi-
tion in the form of an annex to be used
for the school department and now Ora
ham Hall is we'll equipped and in a
position to take care Of all its stu
dents. In the annex are many OF the
schoolrooms as well as the large and
airy gymnasium.

The gymnasium occupies the entire
length Of the building and is fitted uI
in the best and most approved manner
for the use Of the students. The de

the. pupils is, compelled to take he
