Junior high school course, namely in
the eighth year, pupils are offered limit
ed opportunities for specialization look
ing toward their future educational
career. In general pupils are divided
into three groups; first. those preparing
for college and university education;
second. those looking toward the COM
pletion of commercial courses in the
senior high school; and, third, those
looking toward industrial or trade edu-
cation in the high schools, or fitting
themselves for gainful occupations in
industry Immediately following their
Junior high school course.
The senior high school consists of
grades, 10 II and r. Its educational
program is more extensive and differ
entiated than the educational program
of the Junior high school, In the
senior high school preparatory courses
for college are offered. These courses
are organized to meet the varying re-
qulrementS of admission to liberal arts
and engineering colleges. The CONNER
clal courses cover stenography and
typewriting. general clerical work, sales
manship, filing, and the performance
OF those activities which are carried
on in the business Offices of today.
Since the future educational program
of boy or girl in the senior high
school, or in the college or university, is
fairly definitely known, it has been
easy to set up an educational program
for pupils in the junior and senior high
schools which would adequately pre-
pare boys and girls to continue their

The elementary school, consisting of
kindergarten and grades l to 6, is
the foundation from which pupils climb
the educational ladder through the
junior high school, the senior high
school. or college and university That
foundation must be both extensive and
intensive. While the varying capacities
of children are recognized and the edu-
cational program is adapted to those
varying capacities, the educational pro-
gram of the elementary schools must
provide instruction and training in that
common knowledge and those general
ideals which should be the acquisition
of every citizen. The elementary school
provides a general educational program
which represents the minimum of In
struction and training which may be
considered as necessary for ali young
people.
At Earning Age.
The junior high school consists of
grades z, 8 and g. Pupils of
the Junior high school range in age
from IL to Is or 16 years During this
period of instruction many children will
reach the age when, under the law, it
Is permissible for them to leave school
to engage in gainful occupation. The
junior high school, therefore, must be
so organized and conducted that those
pupils preparing for a long educational
career. as well as those who contcIE-
plate leaving school at an early date,
will have equal educational opportunity
to secure the desired education and
training.

OF D. C.. AS GIRLS
EDUCATIONAL CENTER REVIEWED
Beauty, Culture and Art Cited
as City's Offering to
Young Women.
Climate and Location Also
Seen Assets by Woman
Educator.

Washington's natural advantages for
girls schools of which there are more
here than in any other city of like size
in the country, surpass every other
school center in the United States, IN
the opinion of Mrs. Jessie HoltOn. OF
Holton Arms School, Junior college
for girls, at 2125 S street.
In this opinion Mrs. Holton is upheld
by the officials of the other schools in
and about the District, who find the
peculiar equipment of the National Cap
ital admirably fitted for the carrying
out of girls educational enterprises.
Mrs. Holton particularly stresses the
climatic conditions of the Capital. The
geographical location of the Capital
lends itself very we'll, she believes, for
a home-center of education for girls
from all parts of the country. Situated
as it is about midway of the Nation,
moving here involves no great change
of climate from any section, and it is
particularly adapted to pupils from the
West and Middle West, due to its proX-
unity to the Atlantic seaboard and the
great municipal centers along the
coast.
Drawing both from the North and
South, as we'll as from the West, the
best minds of the Nation on art. liter
ature, science and education, Washing
ton constitutes the premier educational
center of the country for women and
girls, she believes.
Stresses Beauty Of City.
Then Mrs. Holton stresses the beauty
of the Capital BY far the most beau
tiful city in the country, Mrs Holton
believes Washington gives girls and
young women attending school here
a measure of pride in civic beauty that
is of inestimable benefit to cities and
towns throughout the country.
Washington inculcates in the girl
student love of the beautiful city that
will make her in after years a great
factor in movements to beautify other
American cities, bringing them up to
and even beyond the standard Wash
ington has set for them" she says.
The girls, she believes, get ideas for
the development of their own towns
which impel them to action in later
years.
Another point she brings out as OF
great value to the girls attending school
here is that Washington is not a busi-
ness town. 1t is more of a country
town, she says, free from the influences
and factors that run contrary to such
enterprises as here in the large indus
trial cities of the East
Evening star., 1928-09-09

II believe educational institutions for
women should be kept as far away as
possible from business centers. Busi-
ness and education, the education that
the girl who attends a Washington
school receives, at least. are not kin
dred." Mrs. Holton did not refer to
the schools primarily for training in
business subjects, but adds that there
is taught in practically all schools some
of the fundamentals of business prac-
tice.
Study of Government.
And as the seat of the National Gov
ernment, with its opportunities for a
close study of the administration of the
Nation and its relations with the other
great powers of the world, the city pre-
Sents advantages that are uneXcelled,
she believes.
I'VE believe girls attending schools
here get touch of interest in national
and international political affairs that
molds them into citizens who are more
cognizant of what is going on in the
world than those who attend schools
in any other city.
Our girls take from to 10 trips
during the year to the points of in
terest in the Capital, where they will
OCT Iilc HldSillhclJ VI government A"itN-
tioning, and in this manner gain an
insight into their country's affairs that
they could not possibly get merely from
book study"
Practically invaluable to her own
school, Mrs. Holton believes that the
research study opportunities in almost
every line afforded by the government
activities and such institutions as the
Congressional Library are factors that
point to the establishment here in time
of great universities
washington does not belong to the
District of Columbia. 1t is the prop
erty of the entire country and thus is
the logical gathering place for men and
women of the entire Nation for educa-
tim "

FRANKLIN BUSINESS
CLASSES OPEN SEPT. II
University Now Second in Enroll
ment Among 35 Institutions
of Type in Country.

The Benjamin Franklin Business
University will open its Fall night ses-
sions September II and its day classes
October /, with the same faculty and
curricula which afforded it success
full year of operation during the last
term.
Specializing in accountancy, which II
characterizes as the profession OF fact
finding in modern business, the Ben
iamin Franklin School, successor to the
Pace Institute here, has expanded IN
enrolment and student accommodation
until it is the second largest of the 80
institutions in various cities of the Ma
ton teaching the Pace course. The
Pace Institute here was founded In
1907. while the institution was incor-
porated three years ago as the Ben
jarin Franklin University.
Basing the estimate on the NUMBER
OF applications for information con-
cerning its courses and the past yearly
increase. the school is expecting 10
or 20 per cent larger enrolment dur
ing the coming term than It's last
years roll showed. Last year, how
ever, the school experienced its great
est increase, when 30 per cent larger
rolls than two years ago we're regis
tered. About a fifth of the school S
total enrolment embraces out-of-toWn
students.
John T. Kennedy is president OF the

service is in charge of a sanitation
officer and nurse; in IL counties a
public health nurse heads the work.
In all, so of the 100 counties in Vir-

 The work of making the grounds a state park and the old home shrine for the people of Texas soon will be completed. The legislature appropriated $l5.00o for the pur- pose.
 4 quarter of a century after he had won freedom for Texas with his victory at San Jacinto. General Houston lost the governorship of the state which. as republic, had honored him with its presidency. Somewhat embittered, he sought peace at his home near Huntsville, and died two years later.
 The home changed ownership many times, but in 1911 became the property of the state teachers college. which bears the generals name.
 In the last few months many changes have been made in hs appearance of the place. T"ees which were not there when it was Houston's home were chopped down, and those which he had planted were pruned and marked. The pond was enlarged to its for msr size and shrubs were planted on its banks.
 The house was restored to its ap- pearance of long ago. except that lumber from a saw mill replaced the rough-hevn blanks. The in- terior. however. was given what architects pronounced an alm ost perfect restoration.
 Now | search is being made for the furniture which Houston used during hts last days. One of the first pieces recovered was a chair, found in | negro's hut.
