CATHEDRAL SCHOOL
AFFORDS UNUSUAL
CHANCE FOR BOYS
Advantage of National Cap
ital Aids in Training
ing Youth.

With the work on the mammoth
cathedral building for the Washington
dioceFe rapidly progressing, which, when
completed, will represent a materializa-
lion of the dreams of Episcopalians OF
fhis section of the country, the eyes of
the educational world are being directed
toward the. National Cathedral School
for Boys, which occupies a position at
Mt. st. Alban near the proposed cathe-
oral
The National Training School for
Boys has a reputation more far-reach-
ing than the boundaries of the District
and the adjoining States. In fact, there
Is scarcely State in the Union which
Is not represented at each session of
the school.
Made possible by the munificent gift
OF Mrs. Harriet Lane Johnston, a niece
of President James Buchanan, the edu-
cational institution from the very begin
ming possessed strength. Mrs. Johnston
bequeathed 100000 to the Washington
cathedral to be used as a training
school for boys, and Immediately upon
her death the money became available.
Half this amount was used in con-
strucung the building known as the
Lane-Johnston building, while the re-
ALld4ulLB id4l was lALNGolCN Oh
ment fund, the proceeds to be used to-
ward maintaining the institution.
In Memory of Sons.
The family names OF Mrs. Johnston
and her husband were associated with
the requests, made in memory Of their
two sons. Mrs. Johnston intended the
institution to be one Of the best pre-
paratory schools IN America for cathe-
dral chorisers.
With a view of carrying out her de-
sires, the Rt. Rev. Henry Yates Sat-
terlee, first Bishop Of Washington, desig-
mated a cathedral school committee TO
visit England and study the various
choir schools Of the British empire. The
committe studied and reported upon the
construction and administration Of these
buildings.
The cornerstone of the Lane-Johnston
building was laid By the Ri Rev. Will
lam Paret, Bishop Of Maryland, in 1907,
on the anniversary of Mrs. Johnston's
birth. The school is of stone, Of Gothic
style, and is located IN the southwest
corner Of Cathedral Close, on Mt. st.
AIban, 400 feet above the city Of
Washington.
''The aim of the school is to develop
Christian manhood" the prospectus of
the institution says, land to prepare
boys for their work in life. They are
taught how to study. and in addition to

cation OF colored youth.
The graduates from the college Of arts
are in demand, all those in last years
class finding ready employment, with
the demand far exceeding the supply.
This fall the four-year courses In en-
cheering and architecture, offered for
the first time at Howard University, are
certain to be popular branches.
The fall term opens Tuesday, Septem-
her 26, and officers OF the school are
confident the largest attendance in the
history Of the school will be recorded
this year.

HOWARD UNIVERSITY

Gain Of Last Year Expected to Be
Exceeded This in En-
rollment.

With the material gains made by
Howard University last year as an in
centive, and with added equipment and
teaching force, the outlook on the OPEN
ing of this scholastic year is unusually
bright for that institution. Last year a
gain of more than zone hundred and
twenty-five students was made, the total
enrolment in all departments being
1882. Thirty-seven States and nine for

student body.
Although the school of medicine raised
it's requirements for admission to In
clude as a requirement for entrance one

and arts, the enrolment was practically
the same as the year before.
The most marked advance made was
that in the various departments Of
science. The opening of the new science

greatest step taken toward the education
of colored persons in a long time, for the

Instruction Well Planned.
1.-THE instruction is carefully planned
and sufficiently extensive to prepare a
boy for entrance in any university or
technical school or to West Point or
Written tests are held from
time to time, and examinations covering
the whole subject are required of all at
the close Of the school year. The
length of time required to c om-
plete the college preparatory course be-
ginning with the third form Is four
years.
THE school is a part of the National
Cathedral Foundation, and, therefore, is
qualified to give careful religious and
moral oversight to the boys intrusted
ats location at the seat of the Ma
tional Government affords unusual ia
cslities for the training Of boys in the
principles of good citizenship and in the
development of a strong and sound
patriotism"
The school has a boarding department
for boys who reside in the school and
a day department for the boys who live
in Washington.
