within six months after accepting the
position the student loses 1t by the dis

reason the student is given another po-
sition within fifteen days. The demand
for graduates Of the college has always
been greater than the supply.
In this regard the schools of1er three
propositions which are considered by some
as being extraordinary in the extreme
They are as follows
First-If any bookkeeping graduate
recommended by the Draughon schools
to a firm gets the books of the firm into
bad condition. the college agrees to SEND
an expert bookkeeper at its own ex'
pense TO straighten the books.
Second-If after thirty days trial one
OF the shorthand or telegraph graduates
does not prove to be as competent as
recommended to the firm, the school will
relieve the firm of all responsibility OF
paying salary, board or transportation
and the school will arrange for the stu
dent with this. Furthermore, another
position will be secured for the grad
uate.
Third-The school agrees to give their
graduates financial assistance in ex-
change for work until other positions are
secured. in case they are out OF en-

Good Money After Bad.
From the Green Bag.

From the Green Bag.
1t is curious fact that many men,
level headed enough about other things,
seem to lose their wits entirely when they
become involved in law suits. In a case
recently concluded in the German courts
a Berlin merchant paid out over $500 to
recover the value Of a 5-cent postage
stamp. He had written a letter asking
for an address and inclosing postage for
reply. Failing to get an answer he sued
for the stamp.
The famous Missouri watermelon case
was just as trifling and even more disas-
trous The seed was planted on one farm,
but the vine crept through a crack in
the rail fence and the melon grew en- the
other side Both farmers aimed it, and
instead Of perceiving the humor of the
situation they went to law. To add to the
nuzzling features OF the question of own
ersnip there was the further complica-
ton in that the fence stood on county
line, whereupon a question of the juris-
diction of the courts came up The farm
ers bankrupted themselves without OBJ
tanning decision az to the ownership.

is worth while running the risk of pun

whether such and such an act would

boy for generations.
Whatever difference is observable is
due not TO the boy, but TO the conditions
under which he lives. Whatever change
there may be is in his parents, in their
ideas of what is proper for a small boy
to do. which are subject to the influence
of all sorts of educational fads and fash

ST. PATRICK'S HIGH SCHOOL.
Only Institution of It's Kind in the
District of Columbia.

A most interesting feature in the later
history of education is the development
of the high school. For long years i,
was looked upon merely as the second
step toward college course. Now II
seems to have an end of it's own. inde-
pendent of further study. 1t prepares
! the student either to take his place in
the business and money making world OF
to begin his studies for profession, and
to either of these careers he is intro
duced by his high school diploma.
In filling this necessary link in educa-
ton the Washington high schools lave
developed rapidly. None has made more
notable or more satisfactory progress
than the Catholic high schools connected
with st. Patrick's parish.
Former Quarters Outgrown.
Seven years ago the boys and girls fol-
lowed the same courses in the building
erected by the late DR.. Stafford for the
use of st. Patrick's Academy. The pu-
pills increased in numbers until three
years ago ii was necessary t. secure
more ample classrooms.
Now the boys have their own depart
ment under the instruction of Catholic
laymen. They occupy the entire second
floor of Carroll Institute, 10th and *
streets, where their physical development
Is looked after in the splendidly equipped
gymnasiums. while intellectual and moral
instruction is impaired in the 'neighbor
ing classrooms. The names of some OF
the graduates are on the roll of the
Catholic University; others are succeed
Ing in the business and newspaper worlds.
Free Choice of Courses.
There is perhaps no other school in
the city where the student is given free
choice of course in the practical busi-
ness branches, or in the classics and in
modern languages. 1t is the only Cath
olic high school in the city, and, as a
result, it draws pupils from almost every
parish and from the suburbs.
Courses in the seventh and eighth
grade work are carried on in the same
building as preparatory to high school
studies. Rev. Thomas E. McGuigan is
director of schools, and a daily visitor
in the classrooms. In speaking recently

called our escort back and asked him
what he did here. 81 am a railroad
