THE BERLITZ SCHOOLS
OF LANGUAGES

The first of these institutions were
established in May 1878, and there are
now over 400 schools in the principal
cities of Europe and America.
The pupil is surrounded, as nearly
as possible. by all the conditions OF
residence in a foreign country. In
struction is given by competent native
teachers During school hours the
pupil hears and speaks nothing but the
tongue he is acquiring, and he Is ac-
customed from the very first to make
practical use of the words and phrases
he learns.
The Berlitz method is a logical ana
rational imitation of the natural meth
cd used instinctively by the mother 10
teach her children.
The Berlitz method does not neglect
grammar but instead of introducing
from the start dry and distasteful
rules and exceptions which discourage
the inexperienced pupil, 1t renders the
study interesting and living by max
ing the laws of the language clear ana
comprehensive through striking exam
pies and comparison.
The Berlitz method divers from other
so-called conversational methods be-
cause it follows a logical develop
ment. 1t proceeds from the beginning
by object lessons, questions and an
swers, exchange of ideas and percep-
tions. so that the pupil, playing an
active part as we'll as the teacher
goes by degrees from the known to the
unknown, from the simple to the com
pound ad from the concrete TO the
abstract.
The Berlitz method, called in Europe,
on account of it's origin, the American
method. was enthusiastically welcomed
in every country and spread over
more than 300 European cities. The
students, whose annual attendance IS
over $4,000, belong to the best society
and leading literary circles. In Spain
the minister of instruction and hne
arts. Count de Romanoles, said: The
great success obtained by this method
in Spain has proved to me its excel
lence." The lord mayor of London,
in one of his commendatory letters,
calls the Berlitz method that king OF
systems" President Loubet of France
entrusted the linguistic education or
his children to this institution, and
the German emperor displayd his con-
fidence in the Berlitz school by plac-
ing in its care the French course at
the military schools of Potsdam, While
in another Berlitz school the crown
prince perfected his knowledge or
foreign languages. ,.,
The Los Angeles school is at 624Ha
South Alvarado street, under direction
of George Jomier.

THE RoWELL SCHOOL

The Rowell school is not only one
of the most centrally located schools
in the city, but is also the best of its
kind. 1t should properly be called an
accommodation school, as its chief aim
is to meet the needs of its patrons. 1t
coaches students in all branches of
study and prepares them to take any
examination. Let us say that they
almost invariably pass.
Mr.. Rowell is one of the most sue
cessful teachers in the city. He has
had many years of experience and is
we'll fitted for the work he is doing
both on that account and because of
his love of teaching.
His instruction is necessarily individ-
ual. He makes a careful study of the
needs of each pupil whether he be a
young child trying to make up grade
or a man or woman preparing for some
special examination. This seems to
us the finest thing about his work.
His school is cheerful and bright and a
most pleasant place to work. 1t fills
a niche in the educational world that
is very important and most difficult
to fill. His success is well deserved
and we hope it will continue for many
years to come.

DEMAND FOR WORKERS
GREATER THAN SUPPLY
School of RaiIroading Unable to
Furnish Necessary Help

The Pacific Coast School of Rail
roading is one of the educational in
stitutions of Los Angeles that fill a
large demand. 1t is a school that
gives practical training for a definite
occupation, and it proves its theory
by guaranteeing it's graduates posi-
tions at minimum salary of $40 per
month. The school has been estab-
lished here but three years, and in that
time over $50 young men and women
have been graduated and placed in
positions of remunerative employ
ment.
The institution is one of the newer
branches of railroad activity, being
conducted by the Southern Pacific
company 1t is in charge of F. ID.
Mackay, who has built up progress
sive and highly accredited institu-
tion.
In every equipment and opportunity
for thorough work the school has ex-
ceptional facilities. Mr.. Mackay is
now in Sacramento arranging for a
fve-kiloWatt transformer In order TO
establish wireless communication be-
tween this school and the one at sac
ramento. With this system in opera
tion the pupils will gain valuable eX-
perience in the newest form of tele-
graphy which is all the time becoming
more useful and more essential. The
wireless will be used every night for
checking up business between the
schools.
Another unusual advantage in this
school is it's main line wire connec-
tions. AS soon as pupils are ready
for such experience they can be put
on a mainline wire and get exactly
the experience they will have when
filling railroad positions.
The School of Railroading fills the
place of the old apprenticeship sys-
tenn cs we'll as that of the academy,
and the pupils graduate with the ad-
vantages of both thorough and scien-
tifc training and practical expert
ence. They are in demand faster than
they can be graduated from the
school. Railroad employers say that
at the present time it is almost I'M
possible to find a young man or wo-
man who has a knowledge of both
stenography and telegraphy. The
school has standing orders for as
many as it can supply.
The school is carefully and sys-
tematically organized and there are
special departments of training for
the various phases of railroad work.
Telegraphy is taught In all its

For the greater part of the last six
years the Brownsberger Commercial
College, located at 953-5-7 West seventh
street, Los Angeles, Cal, has been the
largest school of its kind in Southern
California This is mentioned not be-
cause the fact is important in itself
but to call attention to the reasons for
the continued leadership of this insti-
tuition.
First. The Brownsberger pays the
highest salaries, and employs only nor
NAL and university instructors.
Second. The president of The Browns
berger selected the site of the school
after many years experience IN college
work, and used the same scientific sklll
in the selection that a horticulturist
would in planting an orchard.
In planning the buildings and school
rooms the president knew that pupil
could do more work in quiet, cool, Sc
cluded class rooms. where everything
that can influence any of the FIVE senses
Los Angeles herald., 1910-09-04

has been selected with the express pur-
pose of aiding thoughtfulness and con-
centration, and this she accomplished,
although The Brownsberger is located
within seven minutes walk from Sew
enth and Broadway.
Third. In its equipment The Browns
berger has, among other up-to-date ap-
purtenances, 1870 roll top desks, the
most approved and up-to-date bank ap-
pliances, such as adding and billing
machines, etc. It's typewriting depart
ment is furnished with lis typewriters
of the latest and best makes.
Fourth. The Brownsburger provides
monthly social and intellectual affairs
so timed as not to interfere with the
results of study.
Fifth-and lastly. The Brownaberger
is distinctly a ''home school" because
of it's homelike surroundings and in
fluences. The conditions result in intl-
mate friendship between instructors
and pupils. without which the best
work cannot be done.

DR.. Samuel Lyttleton Robertson.

1t is a sad privilege to me to pay
tribute of love to this noble young man.
He was born at Deerbrook, Miss, De-
10, 1884, and passed from the walks of
men, October "a, 191O-not quite twen-
six years Of age.
When but little boy of nine or ten
he entered the Deerbrook academy and
continued there as a student seven or
eight years. He had the sweetest.
kindest disposition of any child l ever
taught. He was as gentle and affec-
tionate as girl. In all these years,
never knew him to have any unpleasant
disagreements with his playmates. He
was always kind, considerate and help
full to teacher and pupils. No one hes
itated to ask anyIscrvice of Lytt, and it
was rendered cheerfully and pleasantly.
He was gentleman by inheritance and
by the dictates of a loving heart. He
was reared in an atmosphere of courtesy
and politeness, and it seemed a pleasure
to him to render a service to teacher or
sehoolmate. 1t was always beautiful to
see his devotion and affection for his
young sister who entered school with
him. He seemed to feel that she was
under his especial care and protection.
After leaving Deerbrook he spent
one session at a High School in Bir-
minham. He attended the A. & M.
College at Starkville one session. He
then decided to become physician and
entered Baltimore Medical college. In
1904 he went to Tulane Medical college,
New Orleans. In two years he COM.
pleted the prescribed course, but was
not permitted to graduate because he
was nnder the legal age. In the latter
part of 1906 he secured position as in
tern in the Vicksburg Hospital, where
remained for year. In the fall OF
1907 he returned to Tulane and gradu-
ated May 10Th, 1908.
Thus, thoroughly equipped for his
Hfe-work he returned to his old neigh
borhood and began the practice of his
chosen profession. At once he secured
the confidence and esteem of the people
and his practice widened and extended
until he had for his field all the north
eastern section of this county He was
not only a skilled physician but fra
nnrse and loving, sympathetic friend
to all his patients. In the sick room he
was untiring in his attention.
Never was a young man more gener-
ally respected and loved by an entire
community and to our finite minds it3is
inexplicable that one so useful, so loved
should so soon De called away.
1t is matter of pride t. me to have
had the honor of helping, even in fee
BILE way. in shaping so fine a character.
A true teacher loves his pupils, and one
of the chief compensations of his life
of drudgery, is to see them respond to
his efforts in their behalf and develop
into a noble character.
God comfort and bless the father and
mother bereft of devoted son and the
brothers and sister who have lost an af-
feclionate and loving brother.

cast in the election to pass this
measure. so now if you do not
vote at all on this question, your
vote will be counted against it.
We all know that if Gov. Noel
had not had the power to appoint
so many men to Office during this
last legislature that no power on
earth could have prevented the
nomination Of Gov. Vardaman.
| do not blame Noel for using
the appointive power to defeat
Vardaman, but in my opinion he
certainly defeated the will Of the
people ana | want our constiLu-
ton changed, so that the COVER
nor will not have this power ever
again. So be sure and vote for
the amendment making the judi
ciary elective. The second amend
ment is to authorize the first ses-
sion of the legislature, after the
adoption of any amendment by
the people to incorporate the
same in the constitution. Of
course this ought to be done, be-
cause the will of the people ought
to be carried out as quickly as
possible.
We also want each session Of
the legislature a regular session,
Under the present law we cannot
at the second session, legislate
on any question except the gov
ernor recommends it. This he
generally does, but our acts are
filled with messages from him
recommending all the various
subjects that the different mem
bers of the legislature get him to
recommend, and I think the leg
islature ought to have the power
to legislate on any question that
they deem it wise to take up.
These are my views, and |
have thought l ought to give them
to my constituents and they can
take them for what they are
worth, but as l have said before,
| have been in two legislatures
and | have seen the evil of the
governors having all this ap-
pointive power.
Yours, Big BUD.

BRUTAL MURDER.
William Trippett Kills and Robs
His Father.

Last Sunday night Henry Triplett, a
negro about forty years old, was brutally
murdered at his home on the Clifton
Hunter place. He had sold cotton Sat
urday and was supposed to have about
$50 or $40 on his person. AfteI supper
he tod his wife he was going to town
20 see his sister, and told his son Willie
Tripplett to catch his horse, which he
did, and hitched to the yard palings.
The murdered mans wife then went to
to see a neighbor, leaving, as she testi-
fed, son and father laughing and talk
ing. The boy wa not her child. About
an hour later a gun shot was heard, but
no special attention was paid to it. At
about 10 O clock the woman went home;
the door was fastened from the inside
and she heard groans and her husband
said Il am in bad fix" She went to
got her husband to open the door. He
was undressed in bed, with a fearful
gunshot wound in the lower right side.
From the holes tori in the bed clothes
he was evidently shot while covered up
in bed. He refused to say who shot
him.
The bov disappeared and took with
him his own clothes and the gun, and
the money, it is supposed, las none was
in the murdered mans clothes though
it had been seen that night in his hands.
The murder was a most brutal one,
