OF speed with accuracy. This, it was
Explained, had value as showing tha
the correct position of the body, arms
and fingers must be made habitua
in order that the digits may always
fall on the same keys in the same way
The climax of Master Woodson's
clever work came when he undertook
to demonstrate the mechanical speed
possibilities of the No. 10, Visible Rem
ington. Taking for his copy speed
sentence" with which most typists are
familiar, the writer reeled off speed
OF 233 words in single minute with
out misstriking any keys or having
any other errors whatever. He es-
timated that in this test he was sus-
strokes, or finger movements, per Sec
ond and said that it showed conclu
sively the speed possibilities of the
machine. s,
In connection with the demonstra-
ton Master Woodson gives an inter
esting talk, during the course of which
he emphasizes the Importance of OPP
Grating the typewriter directly from
the keyboard and economizing time
in all the movement of the hands. This
is made possible by means of the new
column selector device and the back
spacer The young man wrote bust
ness letter of two paragraphs in one
minute and AZ seconds when not en-
ploying the column selector and back
spacer, and the same letter in one
and ten seconds when using
them, thus demonstrating an average
gain on short letter, or 81 seconds
each. This represents a great saving
of time and labor for the stenographer |
and an increased output of work for |
the employer. The point was also
made that to develop the ideal touch
for speedy typewriting it is neces-
,ary to cultivate a quick, sharp touch
IN the keys. This insures neat, clean
work. Master Woodson says that if
he keys are struck "as if they were
lot" the proper touch will be secur-
I'd. In his concluding remarks Mr.
Kelley strongly urged the pupils in
he typewriting department to make
he most of the time they are spend
ng under instructors and after be-
ng graduated to stick closely to the
essons learned in the school and to
make the habits there acquired per-
lament by constant application. He
lso paid high compliment to the
ollege and congratulated the city up
n possessing such a thriving and
lccessful business training institu-
on.
There can be no doubt that as
esult of the practical and inspiring
ork done in the city the boys and
iris who were SO fortunate as to wit
ess the demonstration and listen to
lie talks, will get busy on their type

Washington's Coat-of-Arms

Regarding the Washington coat-of-arms some
odd discoveries have come to light. Quite con-
trary to our American belief the Washington
shield does not contain stars and stripes" not
withstandng that more than thousand books
and as many published articles so proclaim
it. The facts are that the Washington shield
contain bars and mullets (spurs Of the knights
boots)" The earliest reference which l have
been able to find which announces the Washing
ton shield blazoned with stars and stripes. relates
to a public banquet at Baltimore, Md, in 1851.
where the ideas of an English poet-Martin Tup-
per by name-were voiced, proclaiming that the
American flag, with its heraldic notions, was bor-
rowed from the Washington shield. which possess

OF Washiuston's individuality. General Wash

The main building at Woodlawn which is OF pure
Colonial design, is forty by sixty feet In size AS

by corridors with the main structure and these
wings little more than one story III height,
while the central portion has height or two

Mount Vernon is Arlington Mansion, which Is. In
almost the same degree as the manor house just
mentioned q monument to the architectural abfl-
ity of George Washington. The mansion at Arl-
ingtoE to be sure, not erected until after
the death of Washington, but the builder was
Washington Parke Custis, the adopted son OF
George Washington who had lived for years at
Mount Vernon and who was not only thoroughly
familiar with Washingtons architectural ideas,
but had talked over with him the requirements OF
the site Mt Arlington. Yet other houses for the
design and construction OF which George Wash
ington responsible are located in the pic
turesque Shenandoah Valley--a region with which
he was particularly familiar by reason OF the fact
that as young man he made the original sur
veys OF all this land for Lord Fairfax.
George Washington induced his three brothers
TO select this promising region for their homes
and he personally built, for his eldest brother,
Samuel, the famous Hardwood Mansion on COM
handing site facing the Blue Ridge Mountains
Two miles from Hardwood is Claymount, which Is
generally accounted George Washngton's archi-
tectural masterpiece. He drew the plans for this
mansion but did not supervise its construction,
which was carried on by relative. The manor
house consists OF a central building OF brick with
two commodious wings and on each side sep

MANCHU DYNASTY COMES TO AN
END AFTER CENTURIES
RULE OF CHINA.

AN AGREEMENT.
Trouble Expected to Terminate
Quickly and Chinese viii
Once More Govern
China.

After three centuries Of absolute
rule the Manchu dynasty yielded up
its power and abdicated the throne
or China in favor of representative
form OF government.
This was proclaimed in three ST.
multaneous edits, the first announce
ing abdication; the second declar-
ing that the throne accepted the re-
public, while the third approved all
the conditions agreed upon by Pre-
mier fuan'Shi-Kai and the republi-
cans.
This edict approving of all the con-
dltions agreed upon between Yuan
Shi-Kai and the republican represen.
tatives created even much astonish-
ment. 1t has been expected that
the Manchus would demand condi-
tons which would safeguard many
of their privileges, nut according to
the proclamation, the surrender is
unconditional.
The third edict informed the vice
roys and provincial governors of
the retirement OF the throne from
political power and instructed them
TO continue doing their duty ard to
preserve peace throughout the land
IL declared that the step taken
by the throne was in order TO meet
the wishes of the people.
The Morgolian princes who have
been leaders in the naturalization
agitation at the court have cabled
10 DR.. Sun Vat Sen, insisting that
unless YuanShi-KaE gets the presi.
dency they will consider themselves
entitled TO take further measures
against the establishment of the re-
public.
Yuan, known as the strong man
of China who was once dismissed
by the throney was frantically APP
pealed 10 TO take the premiership
when the revolution against the
throne was started by DR.. Sun and
his followers.
He has stood between the throne
and the rebels in the present crisis
as buffer and has succeeded in
bringing the two sides togther after
months of dickering. BY the terms
the Manchus are TO retain their emp
ty titles and may be voted heavy pen
sions, but the government is to he in
the hands of the people, the major
ity of whom are Chinese instead OF
Manchus, the descendants OF the tar
tars, who came down from the north
centuries ago, conquered the Chinese
and have been governing them since.

in later life, as the leading official of new re.

requisitioned all his ability in this line
That Washington should have developed such
ability as a practical and consulting architect is
by no means strange, when we take into account
his early experience surveyor. This occupa-
ton which he followed during much OF his young
manhood gave him splendid judgment as to the
relative qualifications OF sites for both private
and public buildings, and his dscernment was re-
fected in the advice he gave to the sites for
the public buildings at the national capital and
the character of the buildings to be erected
thereon
According ia tradition. George Washington,
seated on the yeranda OF an elevated country
house, with the panorama or the present District
of Columbia spread out before him. chose what is
now known as Capitol Hill as the site OF the iegs-
tative headquarters OF the government. lie also
