to get back into its old habits, must
not merely 'backslide,' but build back.
do you catch the essential differ

Again the face wore that intensely
keen and kindly look, while the eyes
shone with the set interest which leads
the truly great philanthropists of the
earth to spend their lives in behalf or
those less fortunate, who are hand1-
capped in life's battle.
II will have four departments in my
school this year. The first will be art,
with special attention to music and
sculpture; the second will be thera-
peutic curing of incurable diseases.

third will be remedying backward chill

Gets Much Encouragement
st have received most favorable let
tiers commencing my system, most or
them being from abroad, where I
studied in slum work and am better
acquainted with conditions, possibly,
even than in this country.
1.-THE writer's of these letters all be-
lieve- in my corner stone-namely. in
the possibility of rebuilding the ner-
yous sytem and not merely of resting
it, or even giving it up as lost, when
once it is weakened, as many have
done.
"As for the Hoegee place, which
bought recently for the location Of the
school, 1t is a beautiful site. with a
most attractive building on it. 1 paid
100000 for the house and the fifteen
acres Of grounds, with considerations.
The house stands on an eminence
about $50 feet higher than the sur
rounding country. The building is Of
mission style. and is in the heart of
some beautiful gardens.
1.-THE land is bounded, might say,
by the ocean on one side and the Glen
dale valley. Griffith park and the Hol-
lywood hills on the other sides.
81 feel like congratulating myself
for selecting this site, inasmuch as
two big improvements are to be made
there.
Pending Improvements
"The Pasadena Seaside trolley line
will be built in time to come along
the Riverside-seaside boulevard, which
runs between the Hoegee place and
Griffith park; while the Mt. Holly
wood line will pass us on the other
side.
1.-THE house really faces three ways
to the west, south and east--while
Griffith park is to it's north. and the
Mt. Hollywood line to the west. The
latter line is to be similar to the Mt.
Lowe line, although not so steep"
The Hoegee residence, on the Los
Feliz road near Hollywood, is one of
the show places of the vicinity. 1t was
built by William H. Hoegee, one of the
most prominent and popular mer-
chants, who have been leaders in the
business life of Los Angeles.
Situated on high ground, the place
commands an excellent view. The
house contains twelve rooms, con-
servatory, roof garden and other fea-
lures which make 1t admirably adapt
ed to Or. Landone's needs.
