The present school building was built
by Prof. Wood some fifteen years ago.
and is well adapted for school purposes.
1t is situated in the rear or the residence
and back from the street far enough SO
that the street noises do not interrupt
the students, and Is thus especially ad-
vantaseous TO persons who are inclined
to be nervous.
. The school is patronizcd by the bes:
people In Washington and 10 highly in
dorsed by Congressman and Senators. and
even President Mckinley sent two OF
his wife's nephews to this school. Cong
ressman W. c. Adamson. chairman of
the Committee on Interstate and For
eisn Commerce, has the following to
say:
You have successfully trained several
OF my friends, and on reasonable terms -
Louis p. Shoemaker sent his son to this
school, and said he did 80 because he
considered 1t the best business school in
Washington. B. H. Warner Is q liberal
patron OF this school, purchasing At diff
ferent times twenty scholarships, which
he awarded to deserving persons. W.
V. Cox and many other prominent busi-
ness men patronized this school.
The Washington herald., 1915-09-11

Washington is nearer the center of tht
educational activities Of the world by
reason of the European war. Almost ev.
erything that has happened within the
past year has been attributed to that
strife. Educational experts have advanc-
ed facts to prove their claim. They point
out that the turmoil now racking the
seats of learning in practically all OF Eu-
rope has made It impossible for students
to go there this year or for many years
TO come.
AS a result the alien students who have
intended going there are now coming to
this country. And the National Capitals
sNools demand the most consideration
from these foreign students, inasmuch as
those young people can secure in this city
the very best of lecturers and as good q
series of courses as in any other schools
of this country.
Coming from south America.
Local educators have commented upon
the number of South American students
who are coming to this city this fall. In
former years those Young people went TO
Europe to be educated. but now that the
war has involved almost all those coun-
tries. their attention has been directed to
these shores
From Venezuela alone there will come
10 tNlS COUNT InlS year -SOlTc
Young man ho will attend colleges or
universities. Many Of them will enter To-
cal institutions. This is the result OF the
work Of Preston McGoodwin. United
States Minister to that country. When
he went there he found that the Uni
versity of Caracas had been closed. and
that there was no chance OF its opening
again for at least two or three years.
Consequently he got into communica-
4,
tions and secured scholarships for young
men who desired higher educations. And
he found that there were more students
than scholarships.
His idea was to help American trade
in Venezuela. the institutions of the
United States. and the students them
selves A mans thoughts always go
back to the city where he received his
education. If he goes to school abroad
his mind naturally reverts TO that coun-
try in after-life. Therefore. he will
patronize the exports OF that country.
And SO American trade will be aided by
this ingenious plan which Is being put
into use in other countries as well as
Venezuela.
Board Education Possible.
With the present war in Europe at its
height, mothers and fathers on both
sides of the Atlantic have ceased to
think of Oxford. Sorbonne. or Heidel-
berg as places for the requirement of
educational finish Instead. the United
States is the students mecca.
Washington is the one capital city in
the world whore the hroadest education
can be secured. No matter what limo
of thought is wanted. one may find 1t
here. Of coulAe. the study of economies
and government comes first, yet the
technical schools offer equal advantages
in their lines
1t must be remembered that the Cap-
ltal Is not only the seat OF govern
ment of the United States. but the home
of its various departments, the store
house OF the researches OF the govern
ment since its foundation These facts
naturally have given impetus to the
growth Of schools, colleges. scientific
and artistic institutions. and societies for
research. Local schools are at liberty

PERSONAL INSTRUCTION
AT LAKE SCHOOL.
Shorthand and Typewritins Easily
Mastered Under Their System.

The Lake School of Shorthand and
Typewritins offers advantages to the
student who is desirous of mastering
those subjects in the shortest tlrGe and
most thorough manner Unlike most
schools which adopt the class instruc-
ton methods, the instruction at the Lake
School is personal and individual
Under this plan no student is xradu-
ated with only general knowledge of
mis- profession, and handicapped through
lack Of the practical side. as is SO often
the case. because Lake School studen,s
are thoroughly drilled in ou5iness meth
DDS and are at once competent to occupy
the most responsible positions
In proof Of this assertion, the faculty
points to a large number OF its gradu-
ates who now hold highly paid POSITIONS
in business houses here and elsewhere.

opening of the Panama Canal has stimu-
lated the demand for stenosraphers who
can write Spanish shorthand. and In or
der to meet the demand the Milton
School will teach this subject this year.
The Isaac Pitman system has very COM
plete text books IN Spanish shorthand.
This 10 an opportunity offered Tor the
first time by any business school In the
South.
Literary Club.
All students have an opportunity to
increase their general education by join
ing the Current Topics Club and the
Shorthand Reading Club. The former
meets once a week. The latter follows
a course Of reading in English literature
carefully outlined with a view TO In
creasinE the students general know!-
edge.
The StenOgraphy Bureau.
Members of the senior class are given
practical training in this bureau under
the supervision of practical shorthand
writer's. They are required to take dicta-
ton and transcribe their notes OF dicta-
ton from patrons Of the bureau and are
thus qualified for actual work upon ac-
cepting positions.
Time Required to Learn Shorthand.
The Milton School gives a diploma to
students who have successfully met all
the educational requirements of the
course. At least eight months should be
given to work In the day school, al
though good stenographers have received
their education in much less time with
proper examination marks. One years
attendance 10 required in the Night
School before a diploma is given.
Advantages of n Business Education.
There is no vocation moro Interesting
than that OF q good stenographer. In
stead Of spending four or more years OF
study before becoming self-supporting,
the business graduate is able to make
good living with a year or less. II he
or she IS capable and industrious it will
not be long before advancement will
come. No other vocation enables one to
get so close to the men who do things
and learn business from the viewpoint
of the executive as does that OF the
stenographer. while there are few bust
nesses in which men receive higher in
comes than successful shorthand re-
porters.
