TEACHESROYAL Method
Dr.. LadoNch Was Formerly with the
Cars Orchestra.

Or. Ladovieh. president of the Wash
ingtOn Conservatory Of Music, was for
merry located on Gurokhovia Ulitsa,
Petrograd. Russia, with the Prof. De
Flauts. Of the Petrograd Royal Conser-
vstorium, member Of the Cars magni-
fieent summer orchestra which plays at
Tsarkoe Cello. the Emperor's summer
palace.
DR.. Ladovich teaches the method of DR..
Auer, master Of Mischa Elman, Zimbal-
Ist, and Marie Hall. and appointed court
.violinist by Gar Nicholas.
Besides having played in nearly all the
capitals Of Europe Prof Badovich is also
acquainted with the royalty" Of the mu-
steal world. including Kubelik and Kreis-
Ter, the violin kings.
He relates of Kubelik that the little
Czech is a great believer in the virtues
of fresh air and that Immediately upon
entering a room he rushes with Charac-
terfstio lmpetuosity to the windows and
throws them to full height.
Rubelik, as well as the great Kreisler,
have studied Prof. LadovicRs famous
violin which Kubelik played upon and
pronounced OF great antiquity.
All departments OF the Washington Con-
seryatory of Music are under the guild
ance of excellent foreign teachers Of
many years experience. Fortunately
Mime. c. Curth Grant, Of Dresden, Ger
many. has been secured as head OF the
plano department With DR.. Cogswen,
of the public schools, he also approves
and teaches the progressive series, haV-
ing secured the supervisors diploma for
this system.

DR.. Ladovich believes in ensemble work
as soon as possible for the student and
the weekly orchestral class of the con-
servatory Is the concrete outcome Of this
belief. Stimulating the students ambition
through the spirit of competition 1t soon
develops a competent musicianship.
That rupils OF the conservatory may
secure music instruments, strings, etc,
at the lowest rates commensurate with
quality. Dr. Ladovich has introduced the
innovation Of a music sales department at
the Conservatory Building, 1912 Connect
cut avenue, where students and the gen
eral public may purchase violins, strings,
music and hIgh-grade monographs, which
last are coming to be recognized as one
Of the most valuable factors in a must
eel education.

men are taking a keen interest in the
trip, not so much for the pleasure Incl
dent to an auto tour from Washington
to Boston, as for the knowledge con-
corning the shoe business which they
are acquiring.
The Investigations and study are not
confined to the construction of footwear.
They are learning how to Judge the
market" by tracing raw ma terials. They
are learning the causes for increases in
the cost of hides. canvass Innings, shoe
findings, dyestuffs and the other mate
rails that enter into the construction of
footwear. They are learning how to
exercise judgment in buying shoes, a
knowledge that should be invaluable to
them in future years, when they assume
the management OF the BerberlCh shoe
stores business. They will not be de-
pendent upon information furnished by
the travelling salesmen-they will know
how to gauge the market for themselves
and place their orders accordingly.
The trip, planned by Mr. Joseph Ber-
beriCh, furnishes a complete insight into
the shoe business from the inside.
Leather markets, shoe factories, labor
conditions, shoe designing-in fact, all
branches Of shoe making, shoe buying,
and shoe selling are being gone into.
These two young men are OF the third
generation to carry on the Berberich shoe
business. When they actively take a
part in directing the fortunes of the firm
they will be prepared to keep up the
work that was started almost half a
century ago. 1t was a small business
that grew into one OF the largest shoe
retailing business in this part of the
country because of the thoroughness in
handling problems. A thoroughness
which is being demonstrated today in
this trip on which the coming generation
is learning how shoes are made so they
will be able the better to know how shoes
should be bought and sold.
The Washington herald., 1916-09-09

Education in these enlightened days is
not confined to schools and colleges, nor
even to correspondence schools. Nor is
it confined to the sChoolboy age. Men
can no longer devote brief period of
their youth to the perusal of books and
LET their education rest there Nowadays
business men are studying the causes
Of business progress. They are learning
how to study their markets from both
the angle of the retailer who sells to
the public and from the angle of the buy
er who transacts business with the job
Der, wholesaler and manufacturer.
No longer does the retail merchant, II
he Is to be a successful merchant, con-
fine his knowledge of business to his
transactions with jobbers and with his
customers. Modern business is too COM
pick and too competitive Nowadays the
successful retailer goes behind the scenes
and learns the history OF his product
from raw materials to his counters.
Two embryo Washington shoe mer-
chants are demonstrating this modern
trend in business at the present time.
They are Robert Berberich, jr., and Jos.
A. Berberich, jr., sons of the members
Of the firm of Berberich's. These young
men In company with Jos. A Berberich
and Chss. Rupperts are making a tour
OF the shoe factories in the vicinity of
Boston. They are learning how the
shoes that Berberich's sells are made,
the difrerentiations in the quality of
leather and workmanship that dis
distinguishes the various grades of foot
wear. They are learning the construc-
ton of shoes from hides to packing cases.
Robert Berberich, jr., who Is 21 will
shortly be ready to take an active part
In his fathers business. Joseph ORD
Is but Il, but takes as keen an interest
In the business as though he were
already shouldered with the RESPONSE

THE WASHINGTON
COLLEGE OF MUSIC
Has Faculty Of twenty-five
Well-Known Teachers.

The Washington College Of Music. Inc,
opens its fourteenth year next Monday.
Esta blished in 1893 this school has main
tanned a standard which has made 1t uni
versally recognized as one Of the leading
musical institutions OF the country, and
many of its graduates are filling impor-
tant positions here and in other cities.
The faculty of twenty-five includes such
well known teachers as s. NJ. Fabian
Edgar T Paul c. r. Chrtstiani, Frank
Norris Jones. Susanna -Oldberg, w. G.
Owst, H. H. Freeman, Ernest Lent, Isa-
bel Primm, NJ. Lettie Merrill, Augusta
E. Bergman, Harry II. Campbell, Frieda
Hauf, Mary Alice Maydwell, Walter T
Holt.
The piano department has four teach
eTs. 1t is not necessary to say anything
about Mr., Fabian, president Of the COL
lege and head of this department, as he
Is well known as one of the leading teach
ers In Washington, and has a national
reputation. Mr.. Frank Norris Jones, has
been teaching in the school for five years
and has had wonderful success. He is
a pupil Of LeschetitzSy, Virgil, .Schnabel,
Mr.. Fabian and Tobias Mattkay.
The voice department has Edgar Paul
and Mrs. Susanna Oldberg, with two as
ststant teachers. Mr. Paul came to the
college two years ago from New York,
where he had been doing special work
with IsadOre Luckstone. Since then he
! has spent one summer with David
Bispham working on Interpretation and
modern methods Of teaching. His work
in the college has shown wonderful re-
suits and his class has grown so that
his time last year was practically filed.
Mrs. Oldberg has established her reputa-
ton in Washington, having been one of
the leading vocal teachers here for a
number of years, with her studio at the
BelascO Theater. The college was most
fortunate in being able to persuade Mrs
| Oldberg to give up her studio and bring
her large class to the school.
The violin department is in charge of
c. E. Christiania, with Frieda Haul as
his assistant. Mr.. Christiani is one of the
few very successful violin teachers in
Washington. This Is well known by the
! results he has had, and by the size of his
class which keeps him busy the entire
day and many Of the evenings of the
week He is in charge OF the college or

Not every stenographer or typist is
qualified TO teach these subjects, though
many commercial schools seem to think
so.
The men In charge of the night dicta-
ton classes are all shorthand writers OF
experience-nen with whom shorthand is
business, not theory.
Every typewriting room is In charge
Of a teacher of experience and ability.
while the head OF that department is an
expert in shorthand as well as typewrit-
ing.
The English department is in the hands
Of a Normal School graduate, who has
made a speciality of the study Of English.
All shorthand and typewriting drills are
copyrighted by the school. Lesson sheets
are simply loaned to the pupil during the
course of study, and each pupil is held
personally responsible for the return of
all books.
The school occupies the Rimbsll Build
ing, l417 G street. The heating, lighting
and ventilating are excellent, and an cleo
trio elevator runs until $50 every night.
The school is centrally located and is con-
venient to all car lines.

The college announces. that through the
cooperation of Mrs. Susanna Oldberg and
Mr.. Harry Campbell it is now possible TO
offer singers of Washington an oppor-
tunity to become members of a chorus
which will have the following unique
features tho unit system" The plan
under which the training of the voices
will be carried on consists in dividing the
chorus into groups or units OF ten. Each
unit will be drilled separately at least
every other week at the college for an
hour on the following subjects which are
essential to a large chorus as to a SOLO
list: Artistic breathing, tone placement,
tone reinforcement. reserve in singing
The alternating Tuesday will be given
over to chorus singing.
The college offers many advantages
that cannot be had from a private teach
er. There are three or four public pupils

which all departments are represented
with the orchestra. The Students Club

COMMERCIAL SCHOOL
A SHOWS RAPID GROWTH
Temple Institution Faculty Selected
with Care

The Temple School was opened in 1908,
at 1926 New York avenue. with two teach
ers and five students. We now have a
faculty larger than that of any other COM
mercial school in Washington. The fact
that our school has grown so rapidly
is conclusive proof not only that our
methods are good, but that our teachers
are the best we can procure.
Unquestionably much of the schools
success has been due to the care exer-
cised in the selection of our teachers.
There is wide difference between the
ability to do and the ability to teach.

OF a storm. which broke forth
about 6:a5. The lightning drove
