The president OF the Union Theo-
logical Seminary had this to say about
Glnter Park:
when the question or new site
for the Union Theological Seminary
was under discussion three points es-
pecfally engaged our earnest atten-
ton. namely, liealthfulness. accessi-
bilitY and agreeable environment. AZ
ter tho most careful investigation
with all Virginia to choose from. we
fixed upon Ginter Park as the place
which fulfilled most perfectly the de-

years here has satisfied us that we
could not have made a better choice.
The health OF our students has never
been better in all our long history
than during these ten years.
There Is a. complete system and
an independent company operating a
modern house drainage system en-
abling every home-builder in the Park
to have sewers to their homes.
There are miles Of beautiful ma
cadamized streets. bordered by privet
hedges and beautiful shade trees. 1t
has a splendid school building. erected
with the view TO giving every benefit
and convenience - the children. the
building itself being pronounced one
OF the most up-to-date school build
ings for its size in the South, and 1t
has ample and attractive play
grounds
There are now under construction
about twenty homes. and the prices at
which the lots are held are considered
most reasonable. and lots are offered
only to the home-builder, the specula-
tors being an undesirable element in
this suburb. 1t has complete sys-
tenn OF street lighting and police pro-
lection. There are three deliveries OF
mail By city carriers each day.
Groceries are delivered daily TO the
residents at city prices. There Is a
double system OF street car lines. one
of which transfers to any part Of the
city for one fare. and the Park can
be reached from First and Broad
Streets in fifteen minutes. schedule
being maintained with cars leaving
every ten minutes. and 1t IS only six
minutes by the Bay line from Laurel
and Broad Streets.
One of the most attractive features
OF Ginter Park. and one which stands
ahead of all those mentioned, is its
congenial social atmosphere. The
citizens have recently incorporated
themselves into the Ginter Park Resi-
dents Association, which looks after
everything that promotes the welfare
Of the suburb. and is one of the livest
organizations in and about this city
