A YOUNG Alexandria mother tells
this about her daughter Anne,
aged 3:
Attempting to break her offspring
of the dangerous habit Of crossing the
street to play with another little girl
living opposite her, the mother
spanked the daughter one day and
warned her that she would get an
other spanking the next time she
crossed the thoroughfare.
Several hours later, Bobbie, the
playmate, asked Anne to come over
and play with her.
"All right" Anne replied, "but you'll
have to wait first till 60 get my

st. Agnes School, located In
suburbs Of Alexandria, was found
ed in July, 1924. by q group Of
church men and women in Alex
andria to meet the need Of a To-
cal private school for girls. It
was decided to accept boys from
the kindergarten up to the sew
enth grade. at which time they
are prepared to enter Episcopal
High School. The founders from
the first, however, planned to de-
velop the boarding department Is
being essential to the type Of
school they had in mind-a
school Of fine ideals and simple
life at moderate cost.
The old Lloyd mansion, with its
broad halls and StairwayS, its
spacious rooms, high ceilings and
large windows, provides unusual
conditions for both school and
home life.
TWO wings have been added,
the one on the north containing
kitchens, pantries and servants

Law School to Open
10th Year Sept. %

Washington College of Law will
open its fall term Monday, Sep

Riley announces that registrations
are now being received in all de-
partments.
The opening marks the fortieth
year in the history Of the college,
q history unique in that the col
lege was the first coeducatioral
law school for white students in
the District Of Columbia, and for
a period of IS years after its
founding was the only one admit.
ting women to its classes.
From the date Of its founding
the curriculum has been constant
ly expanded. Afternoon classes
from $40 to Z p. m. have been
conducted for many years. In
1929 q day division was inaugu.
rated and a full three-year under
graduate course is now being
maintained from 8 q. m. to noon.
A new feature last year was the
addition of q night session with
classes from 6:10 to 8 p. m. for
students whose hours Of employ
ment necessitate attendance at a
later hour than the afternoon ses-
sion. This division will be ex'
tended this year to include the
work Of both the first and second
years.
The course leading to the de-
gree of Bachelor of Laws covers
three years and gives the student
a thorough training in the fundar
mental principles of American
jurisprudence. In addition to the
regular law subjects, the first'year
classes participate in debates
under the able direction Of q fac
ulty adviser. Another popular

Embracing q wide field Of
studies through its so depart
mentS Of instruction and various
colleges, schools and divisions,
and with a large and coSmopol1-
tan student body, the university
is an academic community IN

Saturday mornings numbers OF

many scientists and specialists
whose names already are known
in their respective fields.
In the law school there is each
year a group of naval officers, as
signed by the United States Navy
to secure legal training at the
George Washington University.
The university's many students
from abroad constitute one OF the
largest foreign student groups In
any American university.
Social Phases
Though strictly an urban insti'
tuition and hence without exten-
sive campus, student life within
the university finds enthusiastic
expression through the various
activities - athletic, journalistic,
dramatic, forensic: musical.
Special attention is given to the
cultivation of abilities Of the in
dividual student through the COM
prehensive advisory system which
operates within the junior college,
and through the independent
study plan open to upperclassmen.
Thus, the student at George
Washington has all the advan.
tages Of close supervision offered
by the small college, and at the
same time is exposed to the broad
field Of studies afforded only by
the large urban university.

State Commissioner Advocates Plan Now
 Effective In Conn.
Proposed Curriculum Would Build Up Normal School Towns Indicates Measure -Many Followers Back
 Plan at First General Assembly Hearing Recently

A bill which would extend the course of study at the normal schools has been presented to the General Assembly and had many advocates at recent hearing ac- cording to a statement today by Dr. k. W. Butterfield, secretary ot the state board of education. The arguments expressed were that it would be a hardship for students who live in or near a normal school town to go for one year to the Teachers College, and that the normal schools are highly prized by the towns where located and An extended curriculum would encour- age and build up these towns.
 Dr. Butterfield, who advocates the plan now in operation, points out that the states purpose in maintaining teacher training Is not to provide additional educational opportunities for selected towns; nor is it's primary purpose to fur nish low priced education to all who have aspirations to become teachers. Its single purpose, he de- ciares, is to secure for the public schools the very best teachers pos- sible.
 Commuters
 For students who now live in normal school dormitories, resi- dence of one year at the Teachers College would add no expendi- ture, according to Dr. Butterfield. For those who now commutet to normal school residence at the normal school residence at the Teachers college would add to the cost of traniing one or two hun dred dollars for tho final year. Those who live in normal school towns would have the advantage of residence at the college for one year and would receive four years of teacher training education at d total cost of $500 or $350. The hardship of some personal cost is not a serious one and for most students cannot be avoided unless a normal school Is placed within It miles of all homes.
 Much more serious, the state- ment, continues, is the assumption that a normal school can be made into a teachers college by the sim- pie method of extending the course by another year, and yet that Is what Substitute H. B. 50 proposes. It would require 8 fourth year at, each of the three schools. It makes no provisions for added appropria- tioiis and its proponents have de. ciared that the fourth year would be added without additional cost. For an unaugmented faculty the additional year would call for ad- ministrative changes and combined claAses. This would mean 8 pro-

Fire Marshal Den Lahey today declared 1t extremely fortunate" that a damaging fire did not follow the explosion of a steam boiler at 9:45 last night in the two story brick building at 34-3S Willow street, occupied on thefi rst floor by the John Collins auto agency showroom and garage. The explo- sion shook the building, shattering plans of glass. and caused alarm all over the neighborhood.
 This morning the marshal placed seal on the oil burner which heated the boiler, condemning it for future use. The building is owned by the Caroline Platt estate with Daniel T. Harrington, Jr, as the agent.
 Had the flames escaped the con- fines of the boiler after the explo- sion," the marshal declared, there is no telling what might have hap pened, with 20 cars in the garage and eight more in the showroom. There might have been some really serious consequences, both for the people upstairs and for the people in the big apartment house at A Willow street. It was extremely fortunate indeed that the flames were confined to the inside of the boiler"
