tanned as a teacher OF civics and eco

Mr.. Weinberger has served as assistant
specification manager OF the Pneumatic
Tire Department, Firestone Tire and Rub
Der Company. Akron, Ohio.
This increase in the day school faculty
Of the Washington Preparatory School
has been necessitated by two conditions:
First. the usual healthy growth which
may be expected in any school standing
for the best OF training and aiming at the
end Of making all education, even the So
called preparatory education. relate to
functions in life; second, the unusual de-
mand for army and navy preparatory
work which is making Itself felt. With
two men added to the day faculty the
Washington Preparatory School lie in
readiness to meet this demand without
crowdtng class sections.
The department faculty consists of
twenty-one expert men instructors of
broad training and experience. Their
bachelors, masters and doctors de-
grees from such institutions as CO.
lumbiA, Harvard. Brown, George
Washington. Johns Hopkins. Univer-
sity Of Illinois. Haverford, Washington
and Lee, University of Missouri, Col
egio del Rosario and other leading
universities.
Many OF the students. on entering
the school, have had part Of their
preparatory work; others have had no
work beyond the grades: still others
have had good private instruction in
some ore subject. as German and
French. and yet another class of stu
dents has pushed ahead one or two
high school subjects, and has not yet
completed one or two grade school
subjects. These students are all ar
ranged according to very careful
schedule whereby no time is lost In
going over well-grounded work and
whereby decided emphasis Is put upon
the subjects in which the students are
behind. Through personal attention
and individual instruction these stu
dents are aided in a short time to be-
come regular in their courses
Then. by the small group plan and
continuation of individual instruction,
the students are enabled to complete
their entire preparatory work in much
less time than the usual time allotted
to such work.
