Is located in the outskirts of the town
of Falls Church, Virginia. which is
noted for its healthfulness and beauty.
The school Is but six miles from
Washington but has all the benefits, of
the country. The buildings are all sur
rounded by beautiful well-shaded ground
which afford ample room for exercises
and play. The rooms are large. well VEN
tilated, and sunny. They are heated by
steam. lighted by electricity, have all
modern conveniences that can be found
anywhere. and special care is given to
make them as homelike and attractive
as possible. The milk is all supplied from
fine herd of tested cows. The school
has its own laundry and employs seven
employees all the time to take care Of the
work. The architecture on all the school
buildings. including Miss Gundry's resi-
dence, was done by Miss Gundry. the
building and construction also being
done under her supervision and 1t Is

because everything is suited to his needs
and trained teachers are there to guide

to prevent bad habits and check abnor-
NAL tendencies than to overcome them
when established: therefore it is best, to
place defective children in training
school at an early age. The children are
classified according to their mental ca

boys and girls are made TO occupy sep

mobiles are provided for the children at
frequent times without extra charge. The

before the Supreme Court of the United
States. There are three law schools and
in all there are facilities for study for
those who are engaged during the day.
For preparatory and collegiate courses
Washington and vicinity Is remarkably
equipped with private educational insti-
tutions. There are also efficient institu-
work
This great array OF educational institu-
tons attracts to Washington many thou
sands Of students from every part OF
North America. There is an increasing
number of students from South Ameri-
can countries also, and this movement is
being especially encouraged by the
Southern Commercial Congress Many OF
these institutions are mentioned else
where in these pages, and their announce.
ments in the advertising pages are par
ticularly valuable to those seeking in
formation about Washington's schools.
Other Facilities for Study.
Supplementing the work of these vaH-
GUS facilities for learning in no unim-
portant way are the Young Mems and
Young women's Christian Associations.

which are under the direction Of able
and efficient instructors. The Carnegie
Institution is the leading semi-public or
ganization for encouragement of re-
search and the application of its results
to the improvement OF mankind. A
step further was proposed this year at
the fiftieth anniversary convention Of the
National Academy of Sciences when it
was proposed by DR.. Ira Remson that the
academy be suitably housed in Washing
ton and that it be used by the United
States government as a clearing house
for scientific work and knowledge.
The future also holds promise of the
realization of George Washington's ideal
and plan for a great national university
at the Capital. This idea is deeply rooted
in the minds of Americans and it is safe
to say that with the discussion and in
=
lishment is not far distant
Mention should be made also of the
District Of Columbia's correctional insti-

has one of the most attractive grounds
and set of buildings of any institution in
the District Boys here are taught to
become useful citizens.
That Washington is appreciated as an
cducationa! center not only by those
who come here to study but by students
in schools elsewhere is clearly shown
by thu great influx of students and
teachers who come to spend at least
few days, and in many cases a week or
two at the Capital. 1t has become
widely general custom for graduating
classes Of the public high schools and
private preparatory schools annually to
make Washington a visit. From New
England alone at each Easter vacation
the railroads bring in from three to
five thousand pupils.

Mr. Gallaudet came to Washington to take charge

OF all washingtons attractions the
chief for students and scholars Is the
opportunity for preparatory. collegiate
and postgraduate study. for research
and for broad culture. In all these re-
spects no other city in the country can
equal the Capital.
While the great national university
dreamed Of by George Washington has
not come into being. the number and
character of educational institutions have
grown remarkably. The fact that the city
is the seat Of government. the home Of
its various departments. and the store

ment since its foundation has naturally
given impetus to the growth Of schools.
