The characteristics Of good
school in the order of their import
ance are as follows: the placing of
God first and before all else, for
the success of home for the educa-
ton of youth lies IN It's conservation
to the Most High and the inculca-
ton of those moral principles with
out which as a foundation the grand
superstructure of a noble, virtuous
life can never be built; then there
must be efficient management, aid
ed by capable, devoted and contin-
uous teachers, imbued with the no.
bility of their vocation and thor
oughly trained along pedagogical
lines. lastly, there must be practi-
cal and consistent course OF studies
capable of developing the best in
the pupil, yet free from the many
fads of the so-called educational sys-
am of to-day. All those qualities
have ever been exemplified in the
many successful schools directed by
the Sisters of the Holy Cross, a
teaching order of nearly one thou
sand members, which by more than
sixty years of educational work
throughout the length and breadth
of the United States has earned 1or
itself reputation second TO none in
the land.

readily comedies that nothing is OF

Educational facilities in Alexandria
have ever kept pace with its advan-

selves that our schools, public and
private, are second TO none IN the
South.

as well as IN vocal and the theory
and technic of music; the young
musicians are also given every OPP
portunity to appear in public at re-
citals, musicales and commencement
exercises.
To secure the end of their life
conservation, namely the develop
ment Of noble type of womanhood,
the Sisters strive TO make the school
happy home where the relations
of teacher and pupil are those of the
family circle in which the highest
standard Of gentle and refined man
ners is set. Pupils are thus trained
to be self reliant and noble in
thought, word, and action.
In harmony with its established
custom of keeping abreast OF the
times, two of the Sisters in the Acad-
envy attended the 81 MINER School for
teaching Sisters a. the Catholic Uni
versity of Washington, while five
others went TO the Normal Summer
School at the Mother house in In
diana, in order that they might avail
themselves of new and up-to-date-
ideas and become acquainted with
helpful methods.
That ST. Mary's is an ideal insti-
tuition for the education and refine

any one who has watched its devel-
opment for the past four decades.
The year about to open promises a
yet greater enrolment, for at this

With an enrolment of more than
150 students DUNG the last twelve
months, the Success Shorthand
School, at 1415 C street, has begun

tional teachers.
The Success Shorthand School is

ing students a thorough knowledge
Of standard Pitmanic shorthand that
will fit them for the most exacting
work. The plan of instruction used
by this school is such that the in
dolent pupil is early eliminated. The
plan does not make the study more
difficult; it's chief object it to make
the subject so clear to the student
that he acquires thorough know
ledge Of the subject. That the Sue
cess school has set high standard
is one of the big reasons for the
large enrolment during its first
year.
The most practical method of
touch typewriting is taught on stand
ard machines, and there is also a
course in photograph transcribing

many ALEXANDRIA BOYS AND GIRLS START
THEIR SCHOOL CAREER IN OTHER CITIES

While Alexandria has an excellent
public school system and a number
of private schools of merit as is
shown by the articles on the City's
schools, institutions offering spec
ial instruction are missing from the
educational system and many boys
and girls are required to leave the
city to receive special training along
the line of their future professions.
The Gazette therefore publishes to-
days announcements of various
schools which merit the careful con-
sideration Of parents who are think
ing of sending their boys and girls
away from the city.

STRAYER'S BUSINESS COLLEGE
Efficient Training Given at this
Institutions.

The Washington branch of Stray
er's Business College was establish
ed in the summer Of 1904. Mr.. P.
j. Hartman was then made princip i
OF the school and his services have
been so highly valued that he has
been retained ever since. The school
occupied the three floors in the
building on the corner of 18th &.
T sts., n. W. Washington, for the
first five years, but at the expiration
of this time it was found necessary
to move to larger building. Every
Hiding Of Importance in the city
was examined when. it was finally
decided that the building known as
Old Masonic Temple, Cor 9Th C F
SITS, n. w. was not only the most
accessible from all parts of the city,
but that it contained rooms superior
to any others for the purposes de-
sired.
The entire floor of this building
was remodeled, improved and ar
ranged for the exclusive use of
Strayer's Business College The
rooms are large, airy, light and the
system of ventilation is the best.
The furniture is new and modern,
and the rooms are reached either by
al otr;o
school uses about one-third more
space than is seen from the street,
as the building is L shaped. The
estimated floor space is about eight
thousand square feet.
The equipment of the school is by
far one of the most modern and COM
plete of any in the city. All leading
makes of typewriters are used and
students are taught to operate any
particular machine or all those in
general use, if desired. The Office
Practice department is equipped with
many of the office appliances now
used in up-to-date offices and stu
dents are given instruction and prac-
tice in this department without extra
cost.
It is the policy of the school to
retain its teachers from year to year
and thus be able to give students the
advantage Of instruction from those
who are thoroughly competent. Even
though it costs the school more by
this method it Is best in the end, be-
cause students appreciate these adj
vantages, and go out into the bust
ness world better qualified to sue
cessfully enter upon their work.
More than 800 students attended
this school during the past year.
