aims At EDUCATION
OF SPANISH GIRLS
Miss Haywood Organizing More Chap
tiers of International Institute
League in Washington.

Efforts to establish among educational
institutions of Washington additional
chapters of the International Institute
League are being made by Miss Mabel
f. Haywood, of the Iowa apartments,
who is secretary of the organization.
The league is composed of chapters or
ganized at the principal women's colleges
Of the East, its purpose being the main
tenance of the International Institute for
Girls at Madrid, Spain. Among the lead
ing chapters are those located at Mount
Holyoke, Wellesley, and Smith colleges
Three local educational institutions are
already members of the league-Miss Ma
deira's School for Girls. National Park
Seminary, and Martha Washington Sem
mary.
The Spanish school being supported by
the league was founded in 1872 by Alice
Gordon Gulick. a graduate of Mount
Holyoke, and a missionary and educa-
tor of note. The field proved such an
appealing one, because of the sad lack
OF Spanish educational facilities, that the
scope of work of the school was enlarged,
a site for permanent buildings was pur-
chased at Madrid, and the International
Institute League was incorporated under
the laws of Massachusetts to undertake
the maintenance of the institution.
The school has more than $l92, 600 in
vested in buildings, and has an enroll
ment of more than seventy-ive girls
Most of the students are Spanish, al
though a considerable number comes from
South America A graduate department
for American women recently has been
established. and last year four Americans
attended the school.
The school is regarded as unique by
the people of Spain because of the
courses of instruction which are given
i'm clay modelling, domestic science
leather work, and physical training The
school has been recognized as a valuable
educational asset by the ruler of Spain
and various high officials.
Most of the teachers are Americans
and the director is Miss Susan D. Hunt
ington. a graduate OF Wellesley and CO.
lumbia. Miss Huntington formerly was
dean of women in the University o.!
Porto Rico. Miss Haywood, executive
secretary Of the league, is a graduate of
Goucher College.
American sports have been introduced
a the school. and the Spanish girl stu
dents rapidly are assuming the spirit
which characterizes the American college
girl.

WHERE ARE 1s4s VETERANS !
Only Two Mexican War Survivors
Found I'm Chicago.

Chicago. April 25.-"Where are the
surviving veterans of the Mexican war
of IS46-4S?" This is the call from
Chicago, where only two men remain.
In 1910 the Western Association OF
Mexican War Veterans was disbanded.
A year later only two Chicago men,
bent and gray with years, held their
last official camp fire and reunion.
September I, 1910. the last national
meeting of the Mexican war veterans
was held in Indianapolis, when the ma
tional association was disbanded.
There were twenty-eight members of
the association then. Nine were Chi
cagoans.
In a hushed and fearful silence the
twenty-eight griZZled heroes listened
to the words of the secretary: 1T now
becomes my sacred duty to adjourn
the National Association of Mexican
War Veterans, to meet again on that
beautiful shore. / ask you to arise
and declare the national association
adjourned forever"
One by one they parted, perhaps
never to meet again on earth. The
youngest then was seventy-nine years
old. Since then the ranks have thinned
rapidly. Any survivors are asked to
send their names at once to the in
telligence department of the Auxiliary
Press Service in Chicago.
