college Is the outgrowth of st. Matthew g
Institute, founded by the Brothers of the
Christian Schools in 1866 and incorporated
under the general laws Of the District OF
Columbia with power to confer academic
degrees. In the latter part Of the seventies,
in consequence of the increasing patronage
of the institute, the brothers acquired
portion Of Gen. Meigs' estate on Vermont
avenue and erected thereon the marble
structure now in use. The school moved
into its new home In 1880 and adopted the
name st. Johns Collegiate Institute. Its
corporate name was changed In 1877 to St.
Johns College.
The college has an ideal location. 1t is
sufficiently removed from the business cen
tiers for quiet which is Indispensable to the
good work of student and at the same
time is easy Of access from all parts OF the
city. The building, which is in harmony
with the architecture of the netghborhood,
Is commodious, well lighted. heated and
ventilated. The class rooms are equipped
with all of the conveniences necessary for
the work and comfort of the students. The
recreation grounds are large, shady and at
tractive.

Catholics devoted to the cause of Christian

PREPARES FOR COLLEGE.
Chief Function Of Miss Madeira's
Schol for Girls.

There has recently been considerable
increase in the number Of private schools in
Washington, and the established institutions
are making extensions and Improvements,
all of which tells of the growth Of the city,
educationally and otherwise.
Among the new institutions to be opened
In October will be a boarding and day
school for girls that will be somewhat diff
ferent from those Of the same class already
in the field. Miss Madeira's school, the new
institution in question, will make prepara-
ton for college its chief business. In doing
this the endeavor will be to keep the num-
Der of instructors SO large in proportion to
the number OF pupils that each pupil may
be handled as an Individual and not as one
of class. The faculty has been chosen
with particular care, all of the women hold
ing not only the ordinary college degree
but having had postgraduate training of
one kind or another. Among the members
Of the faculty are Miss Harriet Richardson
and Miss Lila Taylor. The school has also Sc
cured the services of Fraulein Won Unschuld
to take charge of the department of piano
music. A special feature will be made Of
the music course. Miss Madeira herself has
for ten years been the head teacher of Eng
ash and history in the Friends School.
The new school will be housed in the
most desirable neighborhood in the city, a
short distance south Of Dupont Circle, on
10Th street.

tory School.


The Army and Navy Preparatory School
is located at 4101 Connecticut avenue, in
Fernwood Heights-a subdivision just be-
yond the residential portion of the city.

DOING A GREAT WORK.
State Female Normal School at Farm
VILE Va

An institution which Is doing a great
work for education in Virginia Ia the State
Female Normal School, situated at Farm
Vile, q pleasant and healthful town of
about 5000 inhabitants. Founded in 1884
for the training Of teachers to carry on
the work Of popular education in the state,
the school will begin its twenty-third sue
cessful session September next. It Is
probable that there will be an enlarged en-
rollment Of students over that Of last ses-
sion. The total number Of persons who re-
ceived instruction in the school In the last
scholastic term was 75S.
The central idea controlling the man.
agement of the institution-that of inspir-
ing young women to enter the profession
of teaching with clear and accurate views
of the various educational problems that
confront the public school teacher--is being
constantly kept to the forefront. This was
at the basis OF the establishment of the in
stitution and it's maintenance by state ap-
propriations, the Peabody fund and tuition
fees, paid by students from Virginia In ex-
cess Of the number receiving free tuition
and by students from other states, Is d.
rectly along that line
The school enjoys many special benefits
from its location. Hampden-Siidney College
is nearby, and the social life of the town
has the advantages that have come from
over a hundred years or wholesome In
duefce. Farmville has good public schools
and churches.
The old buildings in which the school
started have all been replaced by more
comfortable and attractive structures of
brick Besides class rooms, laboratories
and offices, there are home accommodations
at present for 420 girls. Abundant pro-
vision is made for comfort and convenience
through ths institution by an ample equip
ment of bath rooms electric lights, and
steam for beth power and heating. The
school is also provided with a gymnasium
furnished with modern appliances for physi-
cal development.
The rules of discipline of the school are
d. vised with peculiar fitness for young wo-
men about to assume the care and respon-
shbilities of the dignified profession of
teaching. There are few fixed regulations
While the school is undenominational the
interest of the religious life is carefully
guarded. ]. L. Jarman is president of the
institution.

BETHEL MILITARY ACADEMY.
has Been Doing Excellent Work
Since Its blishment.

The Bethel Military Academy, located
near Warrenton, Va, is almost too well
known to require introduction to the people
of Washington. The excellent work done
by the academy since its establishment
soon after the civil war Is attested by hum
dreds of enthusiastic alumni throughout the
United States. Recently-the school now
being under control Of Col. William M
Kempar, a graduate of Hampden-Sldn
College and successful teacher-the course
of study has been broadened and changed
to meet the requirements Of pupils prepar-
ing to enter the universities or to go directly
into business. Maj. Albert G. Smith was
the founder Of the school. and 1t soon took
rank among the foremost educational instl-
tutions Of its kind In the south. In 1877
Mai Smith died and his mantle fell upon
his son-in-law Maj. w. r. A. Mcintyre
Under his guidance the school continued to
prosper. Col. Kempar's management OF the
Institution has been entirely satisfactory
The academy Is located near Warrenton'
fly miles from Washington, In the FAR
famed blue grass region Of Virginia. War
renton is a town of 1000 Inhabitants, noted
for it's handsome houses and its wealth and
culture. The original purpose of the foun-
der of the school in locating it in the coun-
try four miles from Warrenton, was the
removal from city influence. The academy
is surrounded by refined and cultured fam
lilies, who take friendly interest in the
cadets, and in whose homes they are al
lowed to visit.
One of the chief advantages of the school
lies in the arrangement Of the buildings
Barracks consist of cottages arranged In
semi-circle. with the superintendent house
as keystone, and the school buildings IN
the opening.
Each cottage contains four rooms, and
eight cadets are in each set of barracks.
By this plan health and order are preserved
and the risk of one Is not the risk of ALL
BY the system Of quarantine in operation
contagious diseases cannot get beyond a
cottage, and students are not compelled
to suffer from numerous Ills that come
from overheated and badly ventilated
buildings.

PRACTICAL INSTRUCTION.
Advantages offered by National
School Of Domestic Arts.

Practical courses in cooking sewing and
tailoring are offered by the National
School Of Domestic Arts. located at 175e
M street northwest. The-institution is the
successor of the National Cooking School
the scope of which has been largely In
creased under the new management. The
next session begins September Is.
A feature of this school is that its classes
are limited. Early matriculation is there
fore necessary in order that the prospective
student may be assured of entering for the
term. Careful individual work is required
of all students. The school is provided
with excellent facilities. The corps of In
structors consists Of persons having ex-
pert training in the particular branches in
which they are engaged.

ENTERS NEW HOME.
United States College Of Veterinary
Surgeons Enlarges Its Scope.

New and enlarged quarters for the COM
ing session have been secured by the United
States College Of Veterinary Surgeons OF
this city. The college now occupies one
entire floor Of the Colonization building at
the corner Of AZ street and Pennsylvania
avenue, fitted up as a large lecture hall.
with auxiliary apartments. The scope of
the Institution this session will be enlarged.
The college was organized in 1884, and
has been continuing its work of teaching
the science of veterinary medicine with in
creasing success and along gradually
broadening lines. It Is we'll supplied with
facilities. having offices, laboratories, lee
ture room. microscopic room, dissecting
room, hospital and farm. The hospital is
devised for the treatment Of horses and
smaller animals 1t can accommodate fifty
horses at a time, and has room for many
more animals of smaller size.
The farm in connection with the college
is used as an auxiliary to the hospital. 1t
Is located on the Virginia shore of the Po-
tomac, with good railway communication,
and can be reached within an hour from
this city. 1t contains about 100 acres.
The outdoor practice of the institution is
extensive, including many of the large sta
bles Of this city and the surrounding coun-
try. By this means a wide scope for the
obtaining of practical knowledge of the or
binary diseases and injuries common to
dents of the college. The extensive inspec-
ton Of live stock before and after slaughter
allows the student to become proficient in
this line Of sanitary work
An important feature Of the instruction
afforded students of the college is the &C
feasibility of the various departments Of
the government for scientific research and
investigation located in this city. Promi-
nent among these In this connection is the
bureau of animal industry
The college Is conducted by corps of ex-
perenced and well-trained veterinarians. c.

Sea Superstition.
From the phlldelphia Record.

From the Philadelphia Record.
All the old seadogs at League Island
agree that the new battleship Tennessee
is destined to experience some misfortune.
When the commission pennant was unfurl-
ed on the Tennessee instead of floating out
in long narrow streamer, 1t wrapped IT
self around the mast and continued to do
so every time it was unwrapped. The sail
ors say that this happens rarely. but when
it does 1t forebodes evil. When the battle
ship Missouri, on which the disastrous tur-
ret explosion occurred, went into commits
sion her pennant did the same thing.
