If he set out to examine each wing in
turn he will find at the end of his
pilgrimage that he has been carried
from an era that began with single

vance to stability and permanence,
presenting an historical picture he will
never forget.
In the Senate Chamber or in The
House he can painlessly acquire knowl-
edge OF legislative procedure. Every
one who has ever tried to memorize
those colorless facts having to do with
executive" Legislative" and "ju-
dicial" will appreciate the contrast,
in absorbing the same knowledge by
listening to exciting and thrilling de-
bates from seat IN the gallery, eye

objects as made history from the
very dawn of man. without ever
walking across the threshold of q
school or college, any intelligent in
dividual could accumulate for himself
very fine educational and cultural
background by no more than daily or
frequent visits to this one institution
alone. Such visits, undertaken in con-
nection with planned courses of
study, will do more to revitalize text
books than anything short of having
lived through every era of history in
the flesh.

TWENTY-EIGHT portrait drawings
of Oriental types by Miss Betha
Noyes Of this city are being shown
as special exhibition by the Art As

from September 20 to October 2.
These, in pencil and colored crayon
were done on Miss Noyes' recent trip
to Sumatra. They represent members
OF the crew of the vessel on which
she made the long voyage and were
done at the suggestion Of the friends
with whom she travelled and with the
permission and encouragement of the

IN THE Department of Agriculture

able about our fisheries. our trade. and
countless other related matters, than
any one university could attempt to
teach. And all these facilities are
accessible to the student in Washing
ton, who is by means of them enabled
to make every study more graphic,
every subject more real and significant
The State Department the pam
American Union, the embassies and
legations acquaint the Washington
student first-hand with the conduct
Of foreign affairs. Moreover. daily
news making mention OF the activities,
social and national, centering in the
transplanted communities of other
lands breeds a familiarity with their
ways and manners and an appreciation
and understanding Of them, their
representatives and habits, that cannot
be gained through text books or lee
lures alone.
To have read, let us say, in the local
press, that the Egyptian Embassy is
issuing invitations for a reception in
honor Of its new king is to lead one
pleasantly into story that gives
clear picture of Egypt's form of gov
ernment, something Of its history, its
manners and customs, and its current
events. Where, outside of q Washing
ton newspapers social column, could
so much information be gathered so
effortlessly by the student? A years
reading of similar reports adds up,
store OF interesting and valuable mfor-
nation, all OF which stands the student
in good stead when the mid-years roll
around.
TN ADDITION to the specific advan-
tages offered by such institutions
as those mentioned, there is one field
in which opportunities for study and
research are unsurpassed-and that is
in the world-famous Libraries located
in Washington. Nothing can be COM
pared to the inestimable benefits to be
derived from association with such
institutions as the Library of Congress,
the Folger Memorial of Shakespereana,
the fine public libraries, OF the Ma
tional Ca..Stal, to say nothing Of sach
collectt3ns as the Government publi-
cations, the records Of the National
Archives, and the Incompatible and

items that make up the rare book col

s. ~ My to live in Washington
is an educationl" exclaimed
one famous educator after
~ a visit in the National Capt.
tai. And no one who has had the
privilege will disagree with him. How
much, then, have those thousands of
students who will spend this coming
school year here to be thankful for
beyond the simple fact Of their regis
tration in some educational institu-
tion. To live in Washington while
one is pursuing course in art, SCI
ence, history, or any subject one might
mention is to breathe life into the
curriculum, to endow the facts in
the text books with warmth and
glamour that only first-hand contact
with places, people and things can
bring about. The school boy or girl
privileged to attend classes in WASH
ington is getting his education by liv-
ing, as well as by studying-and that
is all the difference between a glowing
vital conception of knowledge and an
accumulation of pigeonholed facts.
He garners, as it were, two educations
that outlined in the catalogue and
that seen, felt and heard in an ideal
cultural environment.
History, through this magic of the
Washington environment. becomes as
real to the student as current events.
And in no other corner of the world
car it be made so peculiarly the still
dents own. He reads to cite one in
stance, of the beginnings of the Ma
ton, and no more than an hours
ride from his class room he can stroll
at will through the home of our first
patriot, study at first hand the dress
and customs of the times, take in
something of the inspiration that per-
sonal contact alone can give and de-
velop an appreciation of George Wash
lngton and our early national strug-
giles with which thousands of text
books could not Undue him,
He HAS, only as distant as a brisk
walk or bus ride, the Capitol of
the United States for his school room.
No matter what angle of our national
history he has chosen for study,
there is available to him here
every facility for first-hand acquaint-
ance with his chosen subject. In the
very room where the first Supreme
Court sat to hold its unobtrusive ses-
sions he can live historic moments
again, and he can trace the growth of
that institution of justice from the
little narrow room under a twisting
stair in the Capitol to the chamber
recently vacated and set aside for q
shrine. Beyond that he can cross
the street to the white marble edifice
that now houses in due magnificance
the august body. Moreover, he can
learn its purposes and records hrst-

with the color and romance of an
earlier day. But far more than words
on bronze or stone will these land
marks mean to him. He can ascend
the steps. cross the hall. view The
paintings and chinaware, the fine old
furniture that certain of his favorite
historical heroes knew as daily asso-
Citations. Washington is rich in such
stored houses, well-preserved relics
OF a brilliant past And many of
them may be entered as freely as
modern public buildings by the inter-
ested student. In such ways as these
does he add to his vivid store of recol-
lections that kind of knowledge that
accompanies him through life and does
not-as so much of the textbook lore
does-desert him utterly soon after
the midterm examination or directly
following the weekly quiz.
RUT to leave this matter OF history,
whose possibilities are endless in
the Washington environment. and
consider some other subject in the
curriculum of the student fortunate
enough to live in Washington. Let
us take science. There is extraordi-
nary opportunity in the Capital for
the science student to make mis- chosen
subject a vital, living thing.
At the upper end of Connecticut
avenue stands the Bureau of Stand
ards. Within its red brick buildings
skilled and talented scientists set
standards of quality that form the
basis for our entire commercial struc-
ture. Here they study fascinating
and curious facts, gather new stores
of scientific wisdom and conduct ex-
periments as enthralling as the an
tics OF gnomes and fairies, and far
more productive. The wisdom of the
ages is literally ION tap" on the top
OF that green, smooth hill, and the
laboratories may be explored by those
whose interests are legitimate or sin
cere. Moreover, such a one will not
lack for guide who is well versed In
the why's and wherefores and is gen.
erous beyond the generosity of text
books with his knowledge.
And. just as the student of history
will find the Smithsonian a veritable
treasure house Of information, so may
the student of any branch OF science
trace mans scientific development in
the famous exhibitions there displayed
and in the historical records of SCI
entiflc achievements made available
to him in the painstakingly prepared
plaques and cards and books and life
like groups depicting the advance Of
civilization. Let him choose what he
will, to trace our scientific progress
he may gain visual impression from
the collections in this remarkable edu-
cational center.
Nor do the sources mentioned take
into account any of the numerous
smaller institutions dedicated to sci
ence, some of which encircle the
globe by their explorations and spend
millions in experimentation. to the

are geographic societies, educational
academies, research councils, the Car

Down at Twenty-first street there is
the National Institute of Health,
where fascinating studies and expert
ments are constantly under way. su-
pervised by men whose names have
gone around the world because of their
contributions to human health and
happiness through the medium of
medical science.
IF THE student here is majoring in
An art course or is in the Capital
to pursue studies that will prepare
him for dedication to one of the fine
arts, he has advantages in Washing
ton that are priceless in the Capitals
numerous galleries and museums.
Topping the list, when completed, will
be the magnificent collection of the
late Andrew Mellon, fittingly housed
in structure of nobility and beauty.
In addition, there are the rare paint
ings. the tapestries. the rugs, antiques
and laces of the famous CorcoTan Gal
leries, and the rare and beautiful ex-
hibits in the National, the Phillips
and the Freer Galleries and the col
lections Of the Smithsonian Institution
to augment facilities offered by his
particular school or university.
For that matter, the City of Wash
ington itself is veritable course in
art. Every public building. erected
since our Nation became beauty-con-
scious, presents study in architec-
ture and design that speaks more elo-
Quently to the creative mind Of bud
ding architects or artists than all the
classroom lectures in the world. From
the classic example of the Supreme
Court Building to the pure SIM
plicity of the Folger Shakespearean
Library and the sheer loveliness of
the Lincoln Memorial the student can
find for leisurely observation an ex-
traordinary representation Of that
architecture which Goethe so graph
ically described rs frozen music"

lessons in design and beauty.
A volume could be written about
the educational advantages arising
from proximity to the very source OF
governmental operation. An arithme-
tic book may enumerate for young
pupil the coins OF the realm, but how
can such lesson be compared to the
vivid impression gained from visit,
let us say, to the Bureau of Engraving
and Printing, where he witnesses the
actual manufacture OF money? One
might take every Government depart

A ND so, on every hand in this
beautiful Capital of the United
States one is made aware of the rare
privilege it is to receive ones education
in spot so blessed with advantages
charm and tradition. The indirect
benefits are manifold. Who can meas
ure the value, educationally, of daily
prOpinQuity to individuals who are
making our own history and the his
tory of other nations? VINO can
measure the effect Of association with
the finest in art and literature and
science, or the influence of that

these are the things the student
may be able to say who is fortunate
enough to be receiving his education
in Washington. And such exciting
experiences leave far more vivid i'm
pressions on developing minds than
can ever be gained doing over text
books.
Text books and class rooms are, to
be sure. very necessary, in or out of
Washington. But the boy or girl who
can augment them by the rich in

City Is being doubly educated. There
