are no pockets or corners near the outside
entrance, where an unlucky child can be
caught in an emergency rush.
The doors have bars instead OF knobs.
These bars extend the entire width and
a slight pressure upon them at any point
throws all bolts and permits the doors to
open outward at once. In the basement

playrooms, the janitor's room, a supply
room and the heating and ventilating plant.
The contraction gravity system will be
used.

ship without price and without assessment
The first meeting was held during the
week and every person who ever made a
speech or had one in his system was
called on to say few words and suggest
some plan by which the university could
be boosted.
Chancellor Avery is working for the CO.
operation OF every student and every mden-
Der OF the faculty, and as result Of the
first meeting university spirit runs ram
pant, and It is expected that much good
will result. Every student was appointed
a committee of one to boost for the state
school, on every hand and on every oc-
casion and to demonstrate the worthiness
Of the institution by living UP to its ideals.
Much enthusiasm was shown at the meet
ing and whether as N.ASult of 1t or not,
for the first time on record the annual
shirt tall parade was an orderly and de-
corous stunt, pulled off with the approval
OF the chancellor. In fact, the Students
did not enter a single store or public place
without first securing the permission of
the owners, something that never happened
before,

Announcement has been made by Andrew

board of trustees of Princeton university,
that accommodations for $50 freshmen will
be made possible on the campus next fall

tories donated by Mrs. Russell Sage and
the adjacent entries given by the classes
Of 81, S5 and other alumni, representing
an expenditure OF more than 100000 The
total number of students rooming on the
campus will now be nearly 1000, the I'M
dergraduate body OF the university during
the last year numbering Lisa
1t was intended at first to reserve the
rooms In the new dormitories entirely for
freshmen, but that idea was abandoned
with the consent OF the donors and IT
has been thought best to distribute
throughout all of the dormitories on the
campus as many members OF the fresh
man class as the new dormitory would
have accommodated. This is In accordance
with the custom at Princeton OF mingllng
all undergraduates rather than segregat-
ing the four classes in particular dormi-
tories.
Princeton has followed In recent years
a consistent plan of architectural develop
ment and the erection OF the new dormi-
tories in the northwestern corner Of the
campus has been accomplished by an ad-
herence to definite principles.

AS Illustrations the American Educa-
tional Review takes the case of the four
SOUS of a foreign immigrant. The father

graduated from the grammar grades.
His eldest son left school at IA and en-
tered an office. He took some CONNER
cial training at night school and was pro-
NOTED from time to time until he became
head Of one Of the departments. At the
end of the first year he received $3.50 and
his wages were advanced until when he
was % he was getting $3.50 a year. For
the sixteen years he had received a total
of 1884
The next brother in age also went to
work in an office at IA, but afterward
learned a trade at which he had been
working for seven years when he was 30.
He was then earning $1,000 year and in
sixteen years had received In all $3.50.
The third son continued in school
until he was II. the cost TO his father
being S57 more than for the two older
sons. He then went to work for a con-
tractor and builder. attending classes in
the Cooper Institute at night. In his first
year he received only $3.50. but by the
time he was 30 he was getting 1885, and
altogether In the twelve years had made

Of the other two are likely to increase
The experience of these four is pronounced
a striking refutation of the assertion

that a few independents can give to the

A calm survey of the situation, dispas-

OLDEST PUBLIC SCHOOL.
Distinction Claimed by Germantown,
Pa, Academy.


Pa, Academy.
Founded in 1850, when Germantown was
as yet a village, the Germantown academy,
which has been celebrating its sesqui cen
tennial, has most interesting history, re-
lates the Philadelphia North American.
Undenominational in character, the oldest
public school In America and held tradi-
tionally dear by the many who owe to It
their early educational training, the school
stands as a monument to the progressive
ness, wisdom and determination of those
early settlers in whom it had its inception.
On April 81, $780, the corner stone was
laid and in the autumn of that year the
school was opened with Hilarius Becker
as German master. and David James Dove,
English master. The first years enroll
ment was sixty English and seventy Ger
man pupils, of all denominations, but a
large proportion Friends. The debt of IS, 625
incurred In the building of the institution
was paid off In March of the following
spring, by means OF lottery.
Washington was an ardent patron OF the
Institution, visited 1t often to accompany
home his adopted son, George Washington
CustIs. In 179S, when the Bank of the
United States was robbed, a great deal of
specie was deposited in vaults under the
building. In 1924 General Lafayette was
rendered grand reception in the academy.
The school buildings were used as a hos
pital for the wounded after the historic
battle of Germantown, and several British
soldiers are buried in the school yards.
During an epidemic Of yellow fever, and
when General George Washington was at
the home of Rev. Frederick Herman. the
German instructor, he met his cabinet in
the academy and prepared to use the school
as a temporary meeting place for congress.
These plans did not go into effect, as the
fever abated.
