In the childhood of the Greek

of the first beauty contest. when at

Thetis, the goddess of discord
threw the golden apple in the
midst of the assembled guests, with
the exclamation, 'to the fairest.
The three goddesses, Hera, Athena,
and Aphrodite, each claimed the
prize. and Zeus, father of gods and
men. who was wise inlhis genera

The school of sappho.
At the school of Sappho. the
Greek poetess, on the Island OF
Lesbos, in the seventh century,
there were doubtless contests In
beauty. as there were in Tyre play
ing, in dance and in song. and many
were the triumphs, as well as the
heart-burnings, among the members
of that charming circle of Greek
maidens. Sappho believed in the
cultivation of all the Muses. and
Graces, and her school may well be
emulated in these days.
The excavations on the Acropolis
have brought to light many statues
of the famous beauties of Pisistra-
tus's court. How they were chosen
for the honor we know not, but

necucut avenue and NJ street
northwest. The large number OF
students, who will study at this
popular art school this year, will
be comfortably accommodated In
the spacious, artistic, well arranged
new home. Because of the lack OF
space last year, the school was un-
aole to accommodate all who wished
TO enroll, and many of the courses
taught had to be omitted.
Under the directorship of Mr.. Fe-
Tx Mahony, well known cartoonist,
caricaturist and illustrator, the
National School of Fine and Applied
Art Is recognized as one of the lead :
ing art schools of the country. Its
popularity is attested by the fact
that nearly every State in the
Union is represented among its stu
dents, who because Of the practical
method of instruction taught, come
here to study.
At this school commercial courses
are taught by practical, unique
methods which equip the student
with the proper technical skill
needed in those particular branches
OF the now most necessary OF all
arts.
The greatest aid to the CONNER

BY MARTIN L. FERsON.
Dean of ssorr. w..AiassOn Law School

The ratio of law students to
population in the District of CO.
moia. Is twenty times greater
tnan the ratio of law students to
population through the United
states as a awhole This is due to
the great number of persons who
come here from other cities to
study law. They are attracted by
the many advantages offered by the
city of Washington to young men
and women pursuing legal educa-
uPn- Congress, the courts and the
various administrative branches of
the government give opportunity
for first hand study of government
tai machinery.
The city, moreover offers to
capable men and women employ
ment of a sort that Is compatible
with scholastic work. In almost
every law school in the United
states there are men who earn a
part or all OF their expenses and
IL Is a matter of common remark
that these employed men are
among the very best students. In
Washington a large number of po-
SANAoAS are dNdllaDles IN WHICH men
OF this type can earn their liveli-
hood and ptrsue law study at the
same time. .
unemployed Student Has Advantage
Comparisons of the records made
oy students who do no other work
than studying law with the rec
ords of those who are doing out
side work, Indicate that the latter
are attaining averages quite as
nigh as the former. The signifi-
canoe of this comparison should not
however. be misunderstood. 1t
does not mean that outside work
= no handicap to the law student
other things being equal, the unem-
ployed student has an advantage.
The above comparison simply
means that unemployed students
are overcoming their handicap by
making up in earnestness and abil-
ity what they lack in time. The
employed student generally works
by a schedule and wastes none of
his time. It Is not uncommon for
a student who does no work be-
sides studying law to fritter away

As actual business experience !, part Of the
curriculum. particular attention is paid to the
task of finding such work for the students and
of giving to the boys the tasks which they are
best able to perform or for which they have
shown a natural aptitude. As a result, the
school is clearing house for the needs Of en-
ployers for extra help. especially on Saturdays
and in vacation time. Practically all Of the
students were employed in this way during
the Christmas holidays. and their work was
carefully checked by the faculty.
The School has now completed its first half
year. The success. which its students have
found in their contact with business and the
testimonials of the employers who have given
them places on their payrols is eminent assur-
ance of the future of the school and of its stu

The remarkable progress made
by students of this school is at

WEST VIRGINIA TOWN HAS
MOANING, GROANING GHOST
THAT WILL NOT DOWN

Bristol. W. Va, June 24.-An Off
cial police investigation has failed TO
lay Bristol's ghost" and after more
than q weeks excitement strange
meanings and groanings continue to
emanate from the haunted house"
in the residential district to which
thousands have been attracted daily
and nightly.
All sorts of theories have been ad-
yanced by the skeptical but all efforts
to explain the strange sounds have
been futile. The police advanced the
theory that rats were responsible, but
after all rodents were eliminated from
the building. the moaning continued.
Now building experts have decided
TO try their hand in solving the mys-
terry and have started an investigation
that will cover every inch of the room
and walls in which the noise is heard.
Two inmates of the house already
have suffered nervous breakdowns
as a result of the excitement created
by the haunts.
