TRIBUTE PAID
TO War dead
AT SERVICES
Frank P. Bourgin Makes Noble
Address Before Memorial
Day Assemblage.

I'VE are here today. ladies ano
gentlemen, on this Memorial Day to do
honor to the dead, to those that fell,
in this war and in past wars. They
fought valiantly and died bcavely for
an ideal Of democracy and peace. No
nobler purpose could move any man
for this they were willing to give up
social science instructor of the Ely
Junior College, in the Memorial Day
address at the cemetery on Saturday.
Preceding the words above quoted,
Mr.. Bourgin gave a brief historical
sketch of the cause and effect of the
World War which he characterized as
"a terrible, ghastly mistake" and which
cost America in the few months Of
actual conflict, lot ,284 killed and 191,-
600 wounded.
Continuing, the speaker said, Our
too has paid for this tragic
1t contributed generously of
its young men when there came the call
to arms. There is nothing I can say
to console those who have lost those
dear to them. There is nothing I can
daughters, brothers and sisters, wives
nothing-to make them feel compen-
Sated for the taking away of their kin.
The passing of the years has partially
healed their wounds but they know that
the dead are dead and will never return.
1t is small consolation to the mothers
Of this land that the war took their
sons and gave them back but the men,
DRY OF hero"
In closing Mr.. Bourgin drew atten-
ton to the seething cauldron of
European affairs with the hopes that
America would keep out of the mess
but that this could not be done by laws
when he said, I'VE feel safe that once
passing law, America cannot be drawn
into another foreign war. We are not
inclined to consider the stresses and
strains to which that law will be SUBJ
ject even once passed. The enormous
economic sacrifices that must be made
by our people once a war has begun
If We are serious about keeping out of
another war, we must be willing to
avert the terrible cost of war-we must
be willing to at least pay the price of
peace"
Then and then only, will we have
realized the meaning and the purpose
that moved the men We honor today.
That realization cannot be carved in
statute and law merely, but must be
craven in the hearts of men. Men must
be determined in every fiber of their
body to resist aggression and war Men
must be united by a sense of social

torium, neceSsitating the placing Of
extra chairs along the sides, the class
of 10 High School graduates and "A
Junior College graduates were pre-
sented their diplomas with appropriate
exercises on Thursday evening.
The class presented a most colorful
sight when the professional The War
March of the Priests" played by the
High School orchestra, under the direc-
ton of F. v. DiNino, marched into the
hall from the rear to the stage. Only
the high school class was seated on the
stage while the Junior College grads
occupied the first rows in the audi
torium. The procession was led by two
high school boys who stepped aside and
acted as a guard during the ascent Of
the class to the stage.
The Rev. Willard Spehn Of St. An
thongs church delivered the invocation
after which the girls glee club sang
THE Hills of Home" directed by Miss
Julia Keefe, supervisor of music in the
Ely schools.
Miss Harriet Heroja made the saluta-
tory address and Miss Doris Santo de-

of these young ladies spoke excellently
and feelingly and congratulated the
class, the teachers, parents, board Of
education and all who made it possible
for them and their classmates TO attain
the high honors marking the standings
of the class of &C. Their delivery was
perfect and their talks attested 10 much
study on their part.
Patrick Fleming delivered the vale
dictory address on behalf Of the Junior
College in truly collegiate manner.
Mr. Fleming IS not new IN the art OF
public speaking, he having appeared on
the rostrum on several occasions and
a few years ago led the Ely debate team

seasoned adversaries He spoke on

of his subject.

On This
Occasion
A Few Observations on Matters
Material and Immaterial by
the Editor.

The primary election for the
nomination of candidates is
only a short time away and we
would call your attention to the
fact that you are expected to
get out and vote to put the best
men on the ballot for the Nov
ember 3 election. The prim-
aries will be held on June Is.
We expect everyone to get
out to the primaries and per-
sonally would ask that all good
Republicans do all in their
power to place Republican can
didates on the ticket. The
fight this year is being made
strong for the election of Mar
tin A. Nelson of Austin for gov
ernor flanked by a solid Re-
publican list of officers in the
state capitol to help him clean
up the mess now confronting
the state of Minnesota.
Campaign speakers this year
on all fronts will hit right from
the shoulder on state matters.
During the last campaign, two
years ago, there was waiting to
see what the other side would
do and candidates were elected
who got in the last blows the
night before election too late
for answer before the polls

The dictation rooms have been
equipped with microphones. loud
speakers, and sound-absorbing cell
ings. Complete mailing room
equipment has been added to the
office appliance department. A
complete new cloakroom has been
equipped with individual locks
for students wraps. Another ad-
dition is a teletypewriter to be
used for Institutional purposes
and also for communication be-
tween the New York and Wash

This is the first school east OF
the Mississippi to include teletype'

they leave the gondolier-filled

Enrolment Is Heavy
AT Strayer College

During the last year. the school
registration in both day and eve
ming sessions at the Strayer Busi-
ness College exceeded that of any
previous year and was looked
upon by educators as one of the
largest enrollments in the field of
specialized business education.
Students were in attendance
from all States in the Union ex-
cept two, and from many foreign
countries.
Advance registrations for this
year indicate that an even larger
attendance can be expected and,
to anticipate this, several class
rooms have been added, with
modern equipment and a number
of additional members of the fac
ulty will be in readiness to serve
the student body. The first class
for the fall will open on Septem-
ber 8, the day after Labor Day.

SOUTHEASTERN
READY FOR BIG
ENROLMENT

Prepared for a record enroll
ment, Southeastern University Is
ready to open its school Of ac-
countancy September IA and its
law school a week later, according
to an announcement by President
James A. Bell.
The class rooms have been re-
decorated, new furniture added
and new lights installed so that
the facilities will equal the best
in the city.
Two new instructors have been
added to the faculty of the
school of accountancy-Dr. Henry
Whitcomb Sweeney, C. P. A., who
will teach advanced accounting.
and Representative Jennings Ran
dolph, of West Virginia, who will
conduct the courses in public
speaking.
Early Glasses
Early morning q to $40 a. m) /,
day and evening classes will be
offered in both schools, this being
the first year the School Of Ac-
countancy has given the early
classes.
Registration will begin Septem-
ber /.
Established in 1919, the law
school requires standard high
school education or its equivalent
for admission.
In May, 1923, the law school
and the School of Accountancy,
which was established in 1907,
were incorporated under the title
of the Young Mems Christian AS
sociation College of the District
Of Columbia. In January, 1880,
the Board Of Educati- granted
permission to confer degrees under
the name of the Southeastern Uni
versity Of the Young Mems Chris
tian Association.
Students Aided
In deserving cases, the inStitu-
tion sometimes assists students in
paying their expenses while at
tending classes. While there is no
available fund to grant scholar
ships, provision is made whereby
worthy students may obtain help
in exchange for monitorial and
office services.
To procure one of these scholar
ships it is necessary to show that
the applicant is deserving. needy,
willing and capable of exchang-
ing his services. Applications
should be made in writing prior
to September l.

SCHOOL OPENS
ITS41ST YEAR

washington College of Law will
open its fall term Monday, Sep
tember 81, and Dean Grace Hays
Riley announces that registrations
are now being received in all de-
partments.
The opening marks the forty
first year in the history of the
college, a history unique in that
the college was the first coeduca-
tional law school for white stu
dents in the District of Columbia,
and for a period of IS years
after it's founding was the only
one admitting women to its
classes.
From the date of it's founding
the curriculum has been constant
ly expanded. Afternoon classes
from $40 to 7 p. m. have been
conducted for many years. In
1929 a day division was inaugu-
rated and full three-year under
graduate course is now being
maintained from a. m. to noon.
A new feature last year was the
addition of a 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 funda-
mental principles of American
jurisprudence. In addition to the
regular law subjects, the first
year classes participate in debates
under the able direction Of a fac
ulty adviser.

NEW PLAN AIDS
FRESHMEN AT
CATH0LICU.

An advisory system for under.
graduate students in the College
of Arts and Sciences of the Catho-
lie University has been inaugu-
rated for the purpose of giving in
formal information and academic
assistance to each student in the
college and particularly to fresh
men The dean of the college,
Rev. DR., James M. Campbell, origi-
mated the system as an aid to the
orientation of freshmen and as
means for securing the guidance
of each student through his col
lege courses.
Upon entering the university
the freshman is assigned to fac
ulty adviser, who is given COM
plete information as to the stu
dents previous academic record,
outside activities, interests and
aims. The advantages to the stu
dent resulting from study in the
Nations Capital and the oppCr-
tunities the city offers for extra
curricula study are emphasized
and used as field laboratories in
many instances.
Guidance in a very informal and
friendly way is the entire system.
In the beginning the prospective
student is offered guidance as to
his proper field. This advice is
based upon a complete study of the
students previous academic rec
ord, recommendations of his high
school principal and professors,
confidential statements and bio
graphical records made out by the
student himself. and from the re-
suits of preliminary examinations
given during freshman week, in
which he is tested for aptitude and
ability. knowledge of English and
general intelligence.

this data, advisers are chosen for

Swiss train that has taken him
from the vivid blue of Lake Geneva
past the weathered walls of the
Castle Of Chillon and the snow
capped mountains, the first sight
of the humming customs shed as
sures him that he is once more in

The officers hurry through the
train stamping without question
the hand bags of the American
school girls en- route to Florence.
The girls wonder if they will ever
understand a language spoken so
fast and they try to increase the
general babel of voices with an oc-
caSional english word built into
their best French sentences. But
the customs is handled so quickly
and efficiently that the officers
are gone, the passports stamped
and the train started before the
girls can catch their breath.

SIDWELL READY
FOR 54TH YEAR

The Sidwell Friends School will
begin its fifty-fourth year with a
full enrolment Of boys and girls.
The school, incorporated in 1884,
is under the direction Of a board
of trutees with Albert e. Rogers
as headmaster.
Several additions have been
made to the faculty to continue
the policy Of Thomas w. Sidweu
in offering in a wholesome e1.
vironment a broad cultural edu-
cation with ample opportunity to
specialize and meet the exacting
requirements for entrance to col
legeS.
Courses in choral speaking,
music appreciation, studies in re-
ligious and social problems will be
added to the curriculum. EN-
phasis will be placed on a sports
for-all program and physical de-
velopment rather than on winning
games in competitive sports.
Glass rooms have been altered
and enlarged at the suburban
school and a ninth-grade section
under the supervision of Raymond
Powell will be opened there in
September. The Frances Hadle-
man Sidwell Memorial Library
made possible through generous
gifts of books and funds from
patrons, alumni and students will
be placed in special room at 1901
