Chevy Chase College and Seminary will
open September q, just when the suburb
is at it's most beautiful season, and when
the weather conditions will probably be
nearest perfect The opening of the
school year thus early in the fall will
give the students considerable time for
outdoor recreation and work. The prin-
eipaIs of the school. Mr.. and Mrs. Samuel
N. Barker, are firm bel evers in the good
qualities of fresh air and sunshine, and
on this account have declared their in
tent.o on of utilizing the exceptionally fine
opportunities of the school for giving its
scholars outdoor work.
The large campus of eleven acres. with
It's beautiful trees. shrubbery. well laid

nducement needed to keep the girls out

Indoors the courses of studies will be
carried on with practically no change
from last year. Besides the regular
studies especial attention is given to gem
eral culture and the training for social
duties.

GOOD DRILL IN MEDICINE.
GEORGETOWN School Students Get Per
sonal Attention of Instructors.

While il is well known that there ex-
ist medical schools in washington. II
probably never occurred to prospective
medical students to consider the advan-
tages possessed by the National Capital
for the study of the profession. 1T is ex-
planned that while the local medical
schools may not be as large as similar
institutions elsewhere, such, to a certain
extent, is an advantage. The teachinS
forces of the medical schools here, IL

enumeration for their services, and are
actuated wholly by love of their pro-
fession and an enthusiasm which even
large salaries could not command
Small medical schools, ii is pointed out,
mean small classes and the advantages
derived from this fact are self-evident.
Where classes are large personal atten-

knowledge of disease through observa-
tion and bedside teaching which didac-
tic lectures, or book study could never
give him. In fact. the last two years
of medical study are almost entirely
spent within the hospital walls; the lee
lures and demonstrations of former
days have been relegated to subsidiary
position. Here again small classes and
individual personal instruction are the
keynotes of the educational methods. The
result of such training is seen in the
product turned out. For the last few
years. it is stated. every graduate has
| successfully passed competitive exam
ination for hospital appointment, and
in many instances has had to compete
with graduates from the foremost medi-
cal schools of the country.

The system Of instruction adopted by
the Georgetown Law School is as fol-
lows: A lesson, averaging from thirty
to forty pages of the text book, is as
signed In advance. which the student is
expected to master as thoroughly as he
can before the lecture hour The lee
turer then goes over the ground covered

gone over in the shape of questions ac-
companied by oral exposition on as
signed work, under the direction of an
instructor. requiring the students to re-
produce in their own language all that
1t contains. with practical applications of
the doctrines learned to supposed cases.
The lectures are held in the evening
and. SO far as practicable, students who
put themselves into timely communica-
tion with the school are connected with
the offices of the ablest lawyers of the
city, where, they are allowed to famil-
iarize themselves with the conduct of
business and the practical duties of the
profession. The holding of the lectures
and other exercises in the evening also
enables clerks in the various depart
ments OF the government and other per-
sons who are engaged during the day to
avail themselves of the privileges of the
school.

UNDER HOME INFLUENCE.
School Adapted to the Children Of
Busy Parents.

The McDonough Institute is To-
Gated just outside the town limits of La
Plata. Md, and is within two hours and
half of Washington by railroad, over
which there are two trains each way
daily. 1t is particularly adapted for the
care and attention of children whose
parents are engaged in business or Office
work and are away from home greater
portion of the day affording to their
boys and girls all of the environment of
home influence and thus keeping them
from the city streets. The institution
is declared to be healthfully located and
well equipped. The grounds contain
about thirty acres, affording opportunity
for outdoor sport and athletics. Special
attention is paid to base ball. 1t has
three courses of instruction, commercial
English and teachers training, and an
efficient corps of instructors.
The terms are very moderate in COM
parison to like institutions, thus making
it within the reach of persons of small
means.

1T is our purpose to make the social
life in the college especially attractive.
We have receptions and course dinners,
at which certain young lad es act as hos
tesses, and are responsible for the pleas
ure of the guests for the evening. This
gives a girl ease of manner and a sense
of making herself attractive and giving
pleasure to others. We endeavor to sur

'The opportunit es for social training in
Washington are unequaTed. This training
is needed to fit young ladies for the de-

No examinations are held for the pupils
of the school. as the principals believe
them to serve ''only as nervous ex-
haustives to hardworlSing, sensitive girls,

Motoring in All It's Fullness.
From the Columbian

lut SOiuuiDidu
Few motorists there are who know of
motoring inlall its fullness They drive
along country roads for a hundred
miles or SO. through towns so closely
set that they virtually run through
one long village, and they think they
have motored. They cross the ocean
and enjoy the perfect roads of France
and Switzerland, and imagine they
have experienced all there is in life in
the motor cor: but no one has. ever
been brought to a full realization of
what motoring really is. or what the
wonderful modern machine OF mans
creative genius Is really capable of
doing. until they have sat. in a racing
car side by side with an expert driver
and tasted the sport as 1t Is under such
conditions. Lord Byron once wrote:
What delightful thing Is a turnpike
road. such means of speeding the
earth as scarce the eagle in the broad
air can accomplish. He certainly
spoke In, prophecy of the motor car. and
especially of the racing machine. which
defies distance and shrinks space into
