Young's School.

Editor The Washington Herald:
IN conjunction with hundreds OF the
alumni Of Emerson Institute in Washing
ton, I wish 20 give hearty approval TO
the movement under way to entertain
Mr.. Charles b. Young at dinner on the
evening OF December IS, 1909.
"Youngs school," as il IL affection
ately called, was established in 1852. by
Charles 3. Young. y. NJ, Ph. D.. a
graduate Of Dickinson College. Fennsyl-
vania. His advent into the educational
field IN Washington was the means OF
revoluuonizing the entire private school
system In vogue here at that time. and
although his start was unpretenuous, the
result which he was enabled 10 attain
by the credItable records OF his earlier
classes, soon gave to Emerson Institute
a reputation second TO none in the coun-
try.
In the ffty-eight years OF its life under
Mr. Young. It's high standard was stead
tasty maintained. No preparatory school
IN America can boast Of a prouder record
than this institution, which has received
as pupils the sons Of Presidents. Senators,
Representatives, judges. and officers OF
the army and navy, while many OF the
graduates Of earlier days have attained
positions OF eminence IN the professional
and business life Of Washington and
elsewhere.
I notice that a committee, composed Of
Henry /. Davis, chairman George A.
Provost vice chairman: James H Blount,
secretary, and Edmund J. Brady. treas
urer, f. theoretically devoting Itself 10
the necessary details Of the proposed en-
tertaiUment. and that all former pupils
and graduates are requested 20 send their
names and addresses TO James H Blount,
secretary. Cosmos Club. Mr.. Blount Is
making every effort to reach the out-of-
town boys" for YoUngs pupils may be
found in almost every city in the country.
1 am also informed by the secretary
Of the local alumni association, that the
| greatest interest IN the proposed occa-
sion is being manifested here in Washing
ton. where 80 many Of the alumni are
located.
