SPANISH! SCHOOL
TO START COURSE

No educational development in
the United States has been more
remarkable in recent years than
the spread of instruction in the
Spanish language. It is the tongue
Of many countries with which t. e
United States has close CONNER
ciat relations and desires still
closer. The element Of business
advantage looms large in connec.
ton with it. It is also a tongue
OF great beauty. The mastery
OF Castilian is a liberal educa.
tion in itself. The language is a
key which unlocks the door to
. rich and charming literature.
Those who enjoy travelling find
a knowledge Of Spanish and Eng
Hsh will carry the tourist farther
than any other two languages in
the world and they are not Sc
pendent upon interpreters who
at times are not reliable, and are
free from petty annoyances, such
as delays and overcharges.
These and many others are the
reasons why the Spanish School
Of Washington Is offering to
every one splendid opportunity,
the best Of all, because it teaches
the main thing the language,
which is easy to learn, pleasant
to the ear. phonetic and clear. +.
Aside from private lessons and
regular classes, which may con-
tinue indefinitely, according to
the ability of the pupils, a spe-
cial class for beginners is an
nounced by the director to begin
on January II at 5 p. m. Many
students have learned to speak
fluent Spanish in a few months,
using the new conversational
method.
Professors from Spain will be

EVENING SCHOOL
PLANS SOCIETY

For several weeks past plans
have been maturing looking
towards the Organiza ton at the
K. OF G.. Evening School of a
society whose purpose will be
the study of medieval institu-
tons. The society is to be known
as the Mediaeval Academy. The
work Of the academy is to be
conducted under the form of
study clubs. A series of public
lectures will be given on general
topics relating to medieval life.
Those attending the lectures will
then have opportunity to enter
one or another OF the various
study groups which will be
formed under competent leaders
for the purpose of taking up tine
more serious study of more de-
tailed problems suggested in the
public lectures. It is expected
that these study groups will con-
sist Of from 10 to 20 students
each.
The program for the series of
public lectures will be announced
in a few days. The first lecture
in the series will be given next
Tuesday night at 8 o'clock at
the K. Of c. school by Very Rev.
DIR. Ignatius Smith. prior Of the
Dominican College. and professor
OF philosophy at the Catholic
University. The subject will be
1.-THE Value Of the Study of the
Middle Ages"
The evening school is now en-
tering upon the second semester
of it's ninth year. During the
past year there were over 900
registered at the school,
and it is hoped to increase the
number this year.
The X. OF G.. law school has
experienced very healthy
growth since it's inception in
1922, and it's graduates have
been remarkably successful in
passing the various bar examina-
tons which they have taken.
The high school and college
courses continue to be popular.
Many Of these courses are taught
by professors from the Catholic
University and all high school
and college credits of the eve-
ming school are accepted by that
institution.
For the student below the
high school grade elementary
courses in arithmetic and Eng
lish are being given and il is
possible to enter these courses at
the present time.
The Gregg system Of short
hand has been taught with
marked success for several years
past and a new course in this
subject will be begun in the
latter part Of January. A course
will also begin in "speedwriting,"
the new system that substitutes
the letters Of the alphabet for
the usual arbitrary symbols of
shorthand. An important merit
Of speedwriting is that it is
learned quickly.

serts that the first six years OF
a child's life are the most fruitful
for systematic education.
Every child generates an ex-
cessiVe amount of energy which
should be directed into proper
channels. In educating a child
through natural methods it is
necessary to arouse the child's
interest through play. Hence.

ton, clay modelling, story, telling
and play-tO-a-purpose activities,
the early years Of a child's life
may be SO utilized as to give
him a valuable foundation for
later successes.
This proposition has aroused
extraordinary interest, and white
for some time attention has been
directed to the Peirce- Orme School
of Natural Education at 1920
Nineteenth st. N. W., near Ou-
pont Circle, for morning hours,
it has now become an aIl-day
school with special provision for
little folks whose mothers appre-
ciate the advantages Of having
them learn through games with
other children. Registrations by
the week. month or term may be
made Cor children from to IL
years Of age.
Afternoon sunshine groups are
now being formed-also special
music groups under Mrs. Shirley
Meyers, musical instructor, for
the 5-year-olds as we'll as the more
advanced pupils.
