MARYLAND SCHOOL FOR GIRLS

One of the foremost educational in
stitutions for young girls, surrounded
by all the refinements of home life, Is
the Maryland school, which opens
this season on September 21, and for
which already a goodly number OF
young misses is enrolled. The person
mel of the schools faculty is such as
to command respect and confidence
from the most exacting parents.
Every teacher has either university or
normal school training, and are thor
oughly competent in their respective
lines. The number of teachers em-
ployed is sufficient to give to each stu
dent much individual attention. 10
this arrangement much of the success
of the school is due.
A study hour is held daily between
2 and 8 each afternoon. At this time
the students prepare the following
days lessons, and are assisted by the
teachers in preparing lessons in what
ever branch they may be weak. Thls
avoids the nervous strain that so many
students feel lest some unexplained
point shall come to them for recitation
The modern languages are taught by
native born instructors. In this work
special attention is given to conver-
sation.
In connection with the piano depart
ment special attention is given to the
theoretical side of music. Every pos
sible assistance Is given the pupil from
the study of rhythm to the fullest es-
sential of proficiency. The training IS
invaluable to those who wish to be-
come intelligent musicians.
Strong work is expected in the de-
partment of art and handicrafts. In
addition to painting and drawing, pot
terry, metal leather, Stenciling, book
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-04

binding and wood carving will also be
given. Lectures on art will be given
during the year at brief intervals.
The physical development of the stu
dent is particularly cared for. The
exercises given are such as will prove
most beneficial to the needs of each
student.
The aim of the physical training is
to train the mind to quick action, to
alertness and poise, as well as to give
strength and grace to the body.
Much thought is given to outdoor
life, and whenever the weather permits
classes of lower school are held in the
open. Ample space is given to ath-
letics, and tennis, basketball, rowing
and riding.
The school rooms are all large, we'll
lighted and we'll ventilated.
In the home life of the school a
wholesome, uplifting influence is
brought to bear. House regulations
are few. Instead a spirit of self-gov-
ernment is made manifest, and disci-
pline and order are obtained while the
students are enjoying greater freedom.
The aim in this department is to
maintain a home spirit in every way
and to help the students to become
not only fitted for career or for the
drawing room, but in the true sense,
women.

PASADENA, Sept. 4-After being
arrested on South Mentor avenue by
Officers Mentor and Shelton yesterday,
an aged woman, who refused to give
her name, cursed the police roundly
for taking her into custody, and wound

THE CUMNOCK SCHOOL

Should William Shakespeare be per-
mitted to leave the world of shades
and visit Los Angeles, he would first
wend his ghostly way to South Figue-
roa street, in which Cumnock hall is
located and his attraction to this
place in particular would be double
in that Cumnock hall is almost
replica of the English hall Of the Bard
of Avon's time, with it's gabled roofs
and latticed windows, clinging vines
and general air of seclusion that mark
Cumnock hall as distinctly different
from anything else Of it's kind|n the
southland, and the further fact that
here the study of Shakespeare Is OF
Importance. The Cumnock school IS
NOT as MANY have supposed, "a school
of acting" A synopsis Of its history
and aims alone can give one an IN
telligent idea of the comprehensive
courses of study.

URBAN MILITARY
THE URBAN MILITARY ACADEMY

After an evolution of six years, each
more successful than the preceding one.
the Urban academy opens its new
term, a specially equipped school for
boys from to Is years of age.
The ordinary military school which
receives boys up to 20 years of age
labors under many disadvantages, and
while it may meet with a large meas
ure of success, in spite of them, 1t is
by the avoiding of these disadVan-
tages that the Urban Military academy
has met with such a signal success.
Thoughtful parents will not question
the statement that young boys are
happier and make better progress when
associated with boys their own age
than when compelled to share the op-
portunities for play and instruction
with pupils of varying ages.
The aim of the academy is to pro-
vide a delightful home and at the same
time a thorough school with the added
advantage of military training, ana
rare indeed is the boy who does not
enjoy military life. The individual in
struction afforded is seldom found in
any school, as the staff of teachers IS
kept in accordance with the number OF

ACADEMY FOR BOYS
pupils, there being one teacher to
every eight pupils.
The classes average about six to
class, so that each boy receives in
divdual attention and thoughtful
study as to his particular needs. By
this means the boys make the greatest
possible progress, and also have
thorough understanding of the subject
in hand not possible by methods OF
class instruction. Sinking is not
tolerated in any form, and care Is
taken to develop the natural talents so
that a foundation is laid for any calling
to which the boy is best adapted. The
location of the school is IDEAL being
in one of the finest residential portions
of the city, not far from beautiful
Westlake park. The buildings and
grounds have been specially modelled
and fitted for school purposes. The
grounds are large and include tennis
and handball courts and an outdoor
rifle range.
A feature of the school is the open
air dormitories, where the boys sleep
almost all of the year round, although
indoor accommodations are reserved at
all times for the full number of resi-
dent pupils. The school is limited to
twenty-five boarders and not more
than that number of day pupils.

aid for the municipal band is one part
of Mayor Windham's plan for retain
