September Fifteenth

The College of Arts and Sciences.
Teachers College, School of Manual
Arts and Applied Sciences. Conserva-
tory of Music, Commercial College,
and Academy will open for registration
September Is. and recitations Septem-
ber 10. The professional schools will
open October l.
The applications received are as
large as at the corresponding period
OF any previous year. All students
who wish to enter departments whicn
open for registration September 10
would do well to register on that day
to avoid crowds on later days.
Because of its growth the Con-
servatory of Music is to occupy an ad-
ditional building and to have an ad-
ditional instructor. Mr.. Tourgee
DeBose who is TO give instruction in
violin and piano is a graduate of the
Oberlin Conservatory of Music. The
Oberlin professors regard him as one
of the most talented young musicians
Of the colored race. The faculty of
the Howard University Conservatory
of Music now has four who are giving
their full time to its instruction-and
is without doubt the strongest musical
faculty of the institutions for the
negro race.
The reports from the nine members
of the faculty. sixty-five students ano
sixty-three alumni and former students
of Howard in the officers training
camp at Des Moines are most
gratifying. DR.. Kelly Miller at their
request addressed the men in the
camp on September 2. 1t was a great
Howard day there.

NATIONAL CAPITALS
COUNTRY DAY SCHOOL
The Cathedral Close on Mount St.
Alban an Ideal Spot.

The country day school came into
existence to furnish what the boarding
school offers and at the same time to
preserve the home ties which are SO
influential in the life OF a growing
boy. The rapidly increasing number
of these schools in the suburbs OF our
larger cities. their popularity and sue
cess. prove that they are filling an
actual demand. Their function is to
furnish a place where a boy works
and plays. and Is under supervision
from his arrival in the morning until
he starts for home in time for the
evening meal. Here a boy has all Of
the activities and interests Of the
boarding scool, teams in all organized
sports. musical and dramatic clubs.
manual training, gardening. photogra-
ply and the like. At the same time he
is under the home influence during
the formative period OF his life. He
is in association with father, mother
sisters and brothers. and thus COM
bines the community interest of the
school with the never-to-be-effacted
influence of the home.
The Cathedral Close on Mt. st. AL
ban is an ideal location for such a
school It is easily reached by car line
from all parts of Washington. II con-
tains ample space for Fairgrounds and
athletic fields. The beautiful buildings
Of St Adams School are splendidly
equipped for work and recreation. The
Junior school has a separate building,
its own Fairgrounds and corps Of
teachers. The work begins with the
primary grades. The upper school pre-
pares boys for any of our American
colleges or universities. Both schools
have a two-hour recreation period in
the afternoon. followed by a study
hour. Study and play are both care
fully supervised.

Washington and Education

The generally conceded stupendous
growth of Washington is perhaps re-
fiected in the largest measure through
the educational institutions of the city
and during the past few years the
standard Of scholarship in the Cap
itai schools has reached such height,
that today its schools are enjoying
nationwide reputation.
In looking over the educational in
stitutions Of the city, Of course the
public school system which in this
city is Of the best. stands out particu-
larly, the addition of the new Central
High School giving to the city the
best equipped school building in the
country.
But the national reputation OF the
Capitals schools has not been gained
through its public school system be-
cause of the fact that it is local in
character. The real reason for the
spreading Of the educational fame of
this city lies in the other schools in
the city, its universities, private
schools, and business schools.
Not only have such schools multi
piled in recent years but those insti-
tutions that have been landmarks OF
Washington for years have grown to
such proportions that additions, and in
many cases new buildings. have been
necessary TO house the increased pa
tronage.
One of the best reasons why Wash
ington should be an education center
lies in the fact that Washington is, in
itself. an education. The very fact
that a school is situated in this city
gives to it advantages that cannot
be offset by any other school in the
country. The courses in all schools
have certain home studies that are en-
tirely dependent on Washington news.
both geographical and historical. And
where a school is on the ground the
first hand knowledge gained by its
pupils is far more enlightening than
that which is derived from text books.

Washington College of Law
Opens Its I'D Year

The Washington College of Law,
which is co-educational, is preparing
for a large registration prior to the
opening of its twenty-second year
While a number OF its students have
entered the military service the indi-
cations are that the assembling in
Washington of such a host Of men
and women for clerical war work
will bring many new students into the
college.
The thorough instruction and earn
est work of the students is evidenced
by the results Of the bar examina-
tions. The percentage of the grad
yates passing this difficult examina-
ton is far above the average per-
centage of all students taking it
Many OF the graduates, both men and
women. are succeeding in the prac-
tice Of the law while others have
good paying positions either in gov
ernment or private Offices.
The college has three special fea-
lures, first, the division of classes
into two sections beginning at 4:5O
and $50 o'clock, respectively. The
classes are smaller and more indi-
vidual attention can be given. Sec
ond. preparatory work for the prac-
tice court during the second year.
Third. special courses on subjects OF
timely and popular interest. The war
has stimulated an interest in both
national and international law. In
international law a course Of twenty
four lessons takes up treaties and
decisions Of courts relating to mari
time and other matters. A knowl-
edge Of the past actions of nations
will be basis for the better under
standing of the problems to be set
tied when peace comes. There are
also courses on the laws governing
the two important commissions,
namely, the Interstate Commerce and
| Federal Trade. This covers a large
field Of comparatively new and very
| important law.
The college will have its formal
opening Friday. September Is. at

All these fields for service are open
to the enterprising business admins
tration school. Schools may give an
educational and vocational service of
inestimable value to the younger
generation of New York, and to the
business houses of New York. No
war has more completely illustrated
the relation between industrial eff

doing the work it has in hand to the
best Of its ability, the business ad-
ministration school may now render
truly patriotic service.

United States Commission CT Decided the Evl- denCe Sufficient to
 Hold Them.
CAPTAIN IS INCLUDED
Each Defendant Was Put Under $2OO Bonds to Appear Before the
 Grand Jury.

Twenty-Five members of the crew, wrecked fishing steamer Manhat- tan, were this morning held to an swer to the grand jury on the charge of footing on the steamer Al-Ki by Commissioner N. L. Bur ton, after the evidence against the men had been heard. They were each placed under $200 bail.

Humfrey as to the footing of the wreck, Deputy Mar shal H. F. Morton testified as to the position of the wreck and from the log book showed that the Man haitian had made no effort to reach the nearest port and deliver the stuff from the Al-Ki to the proper officers.
 Second Officer Sund testified that the member of the crew had been aboard the Al-Ki and had secured the boat that it was taken on board the Manhattan and that it was stored in the stateroom of the captain of the Manhattan at the order of the latter He also identi- fled the log book of the Manhattan and proved from it that the Man hattan had left at once for the fishing banks, instead of making for port.
 The members of the crew held to answer are J. E. Koseth, captain; " Cough, mate; M. Kennedy, chief engineer; Edward Steel, assistant engineer; c. Butler, fireman; J. w. Burgess, seaman; A.
