come students of this school-the first of
its kind to be held in this country
Imagine simple classroom, with its
modern equipment and sober instructor
seated in all dignity behind an elevated
desk. while rows and rows of student
benches throughout the room are occu-
pied by sisters dressed in robes of SOM
Der black. That is the unusual picture
that greeted strangers eye soon
as he stepped inside one of the many
study halls at any period of the long,
arduouS day
The school is fulfilling long-felt want
in the Catholic world and one that has
been matter of no small concern to
those directly interested in educational
affairs. For long time those in charge
have realized the necessity of such an
institution where the teaching sisters
might assemble from various parts and.
under the guidance of capable instructors.
continue their studies along new lines
and according to the latest methods
There are many who cannot see the rea-
son for school of this kind; the vast
majority know little or nothing Of the life
of those who shut themselves off from
the hustle of the world and prefer
more peaceful existence behind gray con-
vent walls. Some are inclined to think
that the hours there are whiled away III
PRAYER and pious meditation. In truth
these are given time and attention. but
the daily life of religieuse is a busy and
exacting one. The greater number are
called upon to teach, and when one stops
to consider how many children of all
races and creeds are sent to their schools
TO be educated ii can easily be seen how
large a portion is required to engage in
this special work.
Many sisters have entered the convent
with little foundation to carry on the
work of teaching and very few have ever
had any previous experience in it. So
in order to maintain the high Standard
and reputation which most of their con-
vents enjoy, it is absolutely necessary
for the sisters to do professional work
and to familiariZe themselves with the
latest and most approved methods used

to the beauty of the place. Hill after
hill rises in broad stretch of green that
fortunately has not been marred by flower
beds of stiff design and flashing color.
Rows of evenly trimmed trees of various
species shade the entrances to the differ
ent halls. On the whole the plan Is so
beautiful in it's simplicity that it cannot
fail to impress any visitor as one OF the
most ,harming spots to be found near
Washington.
The school is just far enough away
from the busy life of the city to enjoy
the quiet necessary for study, but close
enough to enjoy the beauties and ad-
vantages that it offers. No place affords
better opportunity for the student than
the nations capital with its seat of
government and many historic buildings
and places of interest. The faculty of
the university realize this. and they have
allowed the sisters every chance to take
advantage of all that it offers. Saturdays
they have conducted sightseeing tours
through the city to the Capitol. White
House and other important public build
ings. Arlington and Mount Vernon are
also included. What a revelation all this

On any afternoon numbers of parties

the crowd is materially increased.
On Sunday, from early morn till late IN

literature usually are taken along. ana
when quiet place along the waters edge
is reached the parties go ashore ana

Many canoeists prefer to wait until the
