County coroner, today returned . yer.
dict of accidental death" after his
investigation Of the burning Of John
Z. Garrett, So, when flames destroyed
the little town lookup here early
Christmas day.
Dr. Haynesworth said it was i'm
possible for him to determine the
origin Of the blaze that trapped the
colored father of nine in the one
story wooden building which Is un-
attended by jailer or keeper.
He said further his investigation oi
the blaze, the second fatal jail fire
in Virginia during recent weeks, ha.
been completed.
However" DR.. Haynesworth added
II feel certain there will be further
legal investigation. acted only from
medical standpoint in my capacity

Similar to Recent Fire.
The victim of the Jail fire here met
death in . manner almost identical
to that in which John Coates died In

of the three rooms, and before he left
Garrett he removed matches from hi
clothing.
At 3 an, John Pendleton. who nves
near the jail, saw the building In
flames. So far had the fire ad-
vanced before it was discovered that
the roof was falling about the Gagged
victim by the time sleepy-eyed citi-
1ens reached the Jail yard.
1t was impossible to attempt Q
rescue.
Entire Building Ablase.
The entire building was ablaze. but
the flames were stronger in the north
end, which Amiss said leads to his
belief the fire originated in the col
ored mans cell.
He said he had let Garrett keep a
cigar he had in his pocket, but had
searched him carefully for matches.
DR.. Haynesworth said the Jail was
easily approachable from the street
and declared it very likely" some
one could have handed Garrett
matches through the cell window.
The mans brother, Tom Garrett,
. saw mill worker, said he had told
the town sergeant, who offered to re-
lease his brother in his care, "1e had
better stay where he was until morn

ANEW COURSES
AT BERLITz

The knowledge of one or more
foreign languages is valuable as
set. Some Of us learn to speak
language without apparent effort
and are able to act as interpreters,
travel guides or in capacity to
utilize this ability. Strangely
enough not all Of these are able
to translate readily from one Ian
guage into the other.
In order to surmount these diff.
culties, the Berlitz School Of Ian
guages nounced four new
courses for the coming academic
year. One scientific German
course, two courses in commercial
Spanish and German, respective
~, and a French literature course;
all of these are for students with
a limited knowledge of the Ian
guage.
For beginners a combination
course is offered which will first
give the student a foundation up
on which he can build the special
knowledge desired.
The special Berlitz method fin
ally gives the language student a
we'll rounded knowledge Of the
tongue.
Problems of foreign language
teaching have been only partially
solved. Most schools and univer-
sites give formal grammar and
almost literal translation work Of
the literature. This reading serves
the double purpose Of acquainting
the student with the writers and
for the acquisition Of a vocabulary
which Is almost useless for CONVEX
sation.

NATIONAL GIVES
NEW COURSE

Beginning its sixty-eighth year,
National University Is offering a
new course in administrative law,
planned to prepare its graduates
to deal with new problems in Fed
eral law growing out Of the great
increase in the number Of admin.
istrative agencies during recent
years.
DR.. Charles Pergler, dean Of the
law school, announced that prep
arations have been completed for
the opening Of the fall term Sep
TENDER %, and said schedules Of
courses are completed and ready
for applicants for admission to
the school.
National University was first in
corporated in 1859 by Professor
Wedgewood and a number Of dis
tinguished associates. Although at
no time officially connected with
the Federal Government, at the
time Of it's first organization the
university was formed as a nu-
cleuS around which it was hoped
a governmental institution might
spring up.
During the first part of its ex-
istence it had as ex officio chan.
cellors five Presidents of the
United States. These were: Presi-
dents Grant, Hayes, Arthur, Gar
field and Cleveland.
The graduate department of the
law school offers the degree Of
Master of Laws, and to those hav.
ing requisite college preparation.
the degree Of Doctor Of Juridical
Science. In this department there
are offered advanced courses in
the history Of law, including con-
Stitutional history, and courses Of
a practical nature such as ad-
miralty, patent law, Federal Trade
Commission, international law. in
terState commerce law, etc.
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-09-10

schools and divisions young men
and women from every State In
the United States and from
many foreign countries. They are
preparing for a wide range of
careers, including Government
engineering-and-law course. The
degree Of JuriS Doctor has been
established for award to students
who fulfill the special require
ments for this degree.
Another major development In
the university'S teaching program
is an extensive and significant ex-
pansion in the field of the social
sciences. Curricula in the depart
mentS Of economics, history, and
political science have been aug.
mented by the addition of an i'm
pressive list of courses directed
toward examination into those
forces which today are shaping
The Washington times. [volume] (Washington [D.C.]) 1902-1939, 1936-09-10

society the world over, and giving
consideration and analysis to the
problems which confront civiliza-
ton.
While the regular registration
period does not open until Sep
TENDER 10, already the admissions
office is passing upon the creden-
tialS of hundreds who will enter
the university's junior college as
freshmen, or who will transfer
with advanced standing into the
senior college or one of the pro-
feSSional schools from other col
legeS and universities.
