Nearly $1,000 tourists have looked the
capital Of the nation over during the last
three weeks, and the fsvorite season for
visiting Washington is only opening. A
fact worth noting is that the Boards Of
Education In most of the states along the
Atlantic seaboard and in some states far
ther west are now making an annual
pilgrimage to the national capital a part of
the course of study. Perhaps 70 per cent
of the tourists who are now visiting the
capital are high school students and their
teachers. These seekers after knowledge
come in daily by the train load. WASH
ington is overrun with them. This practice
of permitdng-or rather encouraging-stu-
dent bodies to come here was instituted two
or three years ago by some of the New
England states and 1t proved so satisfac-
tory that 1t has had n remarkable growth.
The railroads entering the capital estimate
that not fewer than 10000 public school
students will visit here during the month
and the first half of May. Naturally. the
carrying companies are hopeful that the
practice will appeal to educational au-
thorities as far west as bthe Mississippi
valley.

Spring puts on varied and most attractive
garb in Washington, IN early April. Us
usIly the season for bursting leaf and
blooming flower is two weeks ahead Of
the Omaha banana belt. II advances rapidly
during the month and by May Gay the
city is full-robed in emerald, decked will
flowers. In late April and early May the
city is a delight to the eye-more attractive
as a spectacle than any other time of the
year. A thousand or mare parks. squares,
triangles and other public grounds dot the
city and are maintained and beautified by
the government. The small parks and
squares are filled with flowers of the earll-
est bloom. These are succeeded by flowers
and foliage of later bloom. Throughout the
season the changing process goes on. max
Ing a succession Of blooms that afford
visitors a never-ending charm.
The glory of spring in Washington Is
golden rather than %vernsl, write a cores
pendent, Here spring robs a sister season
OF a part OF her wardrobe and appears In
the dress OF autumn. The ~forsythla and the
Jasmine burdened with yellow blossoms,
dominate the city parks and the country
hillsides. Yesterday these shrubs were
brown and bare; today they are heavy
with flowers, while as yet no season-lasting
leaf has appeared. The gold has precedence
over the green.
While the forsythia and the jasmine bios

of the gold that ruled for a day. In truth,
the magnolia buds already are open, while
the trees which bear them are still desti-
tute of leaves. The magnolia bears the
gift Of fragrance which the forsythia
cannot offer.
Massachusetts avenue. from Thomas cir
Gle to Fifteenth street, is terraced. the
rounded, stone confined banks of earth
holding scores Of the forsythia shrubs. The
avenue is a burst of yellow. The beauty
of the street in this April season attracts
