with the spacious surroundings, yet with
in easy reach Of all the educational IA
cilities and supplementary instruction
that the great repositories of Washing
ton offer, make the school ideal, and
its influence is gradually widening and
its sphere OF usefulness increasing.
The programme of studies is unusual
ly rich owing to the insistence on
thoroughness that is a characteristic OF
the teaching at the academy. The in
tellectual, moral, and religious training
Is carried forward at the same time, and
no superficial work is tolerated The
physical training is especially good, and
the means of securing the best in this
line are unexcelled.
Apart from the school course of study,
which is unusually comprehensive, there
is course of lectures on subjects OF
culture by a long list OF eminent
scholars of the church and of the sew
eral departments of the Federal govern
ment, all of which serves to make the
most of the great accessory means OF

with summer recreations possible
throughout the winter, arrangements
have been completed TO make this plan
part of the regular school programme.
The trip-a ride of only nineteen hours
during the season Of Southern travel
may be made at the end of the week.
Thus the school work will not be inter-

Study and recitation are continued in
Florida as in Washington. The school
faculty chaperon, conduct the classwork,
and maintain the integrity of school
standards. There are no interruptions of
the good order and wholesome home life
of the pupils.
From their contact with the life OF a
university town the pupils derive advan-
tages which are inestimable. They use
the libraries, laboratories, and studios Of
the university, an experience of rare edu-
cational value. In addition to these ad-
vantages, they have the opportunity Of

"AD" CLUB EXTENDS
VISITORS WELCOME
Appoints "Glad-hand" Body
to Boost Capital.

1t was a busy little luncheon that the
Washington Ad Club held at the New
Fredonia yesterday, where the members
and their friends talked about the best
ways of advertising Washington. Gran
vile NJ. Hunt, vice president of the club,
presided in the absence of the prest-
dent, ]. P. Shoemaker.
The glad hand to the stranger who
comes to see Washington. a measure pro-
posed by Mr.. Hunt, came in for so much
of the clubs approval that a committee
consisting of President Shoemaker, Vice
President Hunt, Secretary H. P. B. Hon.
mann, and Treasurer Walter Mcdonnell
was appointed to design a button to be
worn by the members of the club as
guaranty Of good faith when they ofrer
to extend courtesies to visitors
Granville H. Hunt told the members
how he had already tried the plan, and
of the great measure of success that
had attended his first effort.
.'washington has, somehow, got an un.
deserved reputation among some people
of being too little interested in the Wis
Capital" he said. "One gentleman,
whom met in the Congressional Ii
brary the other evening, and whom
was able to entertain a little. told me
that the little courtesies that he had
received from me exceeded all that he
had received in other cities in tour
of the country that he was just COM
pleting.
That just illustrates what good can
come in the way of advertising the city
through a little attention paid to few
visitors
The Chamber Of Commerce will be ask
ed to adopt similar means regarding
courtesies TO visitors, and the matter OF
having a committee appointed at the
meeting of the board of directors of that
body this evening will come up.
The Ad Club also decided to have the
policemen and the car conductors IN
structed to be particularly attentive 10
guests of the city. A smoker will be
held on some evening in the latter part
of October. Meantime the energetic men,
bers will not let up on their efforts TO
make Washington favOrably known to
all who can Oe reached.
