within whose walls a combination Of IA

In charge Ofs the Sisters Of the Holy
Cross, a teaching order that during more
than half century of educational work
throughout the length and breadth of
these United States has earned for itself
reputation second to none in the land.
In 1853 st. Mary's Academy was opened
in the old building on Fairfax street. Ten
years ago the present home on Prince
street was purchased, and with new and
more commodious surroundings the school
increased to such an extent from year to
year, that three additions have been
made to the original mansion.
In entering the building, one is I'm

neat simplicity of its apartments. Here
are to be seen spacious. well-equipped
class rooms, study hall. and assembly

dormitories, and extensive library, music,

characteristics OF It's work.
The Stenographic Academy in the Colo
RADIO Building is noted for the energetic
and progressive manner in which it con-
ducts its work. Though established but
a comparatively short time ago. it i'm
mediately sprang into favor, and is now
recognized as one Of the best shorthand
and typewritng schools in the city. The
high place which it has won in popular
esteem is largely due 10 the conscientious
and painstaking work Of It's teachers.
In establishing this school the proprie-
tors early inaugurated the policy not
only OF giving their students thorough
instruction, but of fitting them for posi-
tions in the least possible time, believing
that greater success would rebound to
their efforts by following this policy than
If they adopted the plan of retaining
students over a long drawnout cesrse.
To this end they abolished entirely class
teaching and substituted therefor indi-
viduaI instruction, extended the hours
Of study, and specialized in shorthand
and typewriting. The results OF this poll
icy have fully come up 10 their expecta-
tons. as it has enabled them to shorten
thought necessary TO gain a practical
working knowledge In any Of the standard
systems of stenOgraphy.
Before the establishment Of the Stano-
graphic Academy the prospective short
hand student was obliged to look forward
TO from six to nine months hard work,
with all expenses incident thereto. before
ne would be prepared to accept a posi-
tion. The same long struggle must be
undertaken by the young girl who de-
