Address Miss ALICE BRISTOL, Principal, MIntwood Pflace and 19th Washington, D. C. NATIONAL LAW SCHOOL. Thirty-Eighth Year of Technical Legal Instruction. The National University School of Ijiw tnters October next upon Its thirty-eighth consecutive year of technical legal instruction.

Founded in 1830 and granted a new charter by special act of Congress in 1S96, it has reached a deservedly high place among the law schools of the country- The student body, which numbered last year 215 members. Is drawn almost entirely from men In the government departments, clerks of committees and others who are employed during the day. For that reason none of the class exercises is held prior to 0:30 o'clock p.m. The faculty of the school Is composed almost entirely of practicing lawyers, who, in their respective courses, subordinate all other aims to the practical equipment of the student for the battle of the law courts? that is to say, to turning out competent common law lawyers. The courses of instruction have been broadened, and the number of class exercises In the first and second years, which lead to the degree of will be nearly doubled during the ensuing year.

Mr. E. H. Thomas, the District corporation counsel, has been added to the faculty and will have the chair of equity. Another addition to the faculty is Mr.

Benjamin F. Leighton, the present dean and for many years instructor In the Howard University School and a member of the District bar. He will have the chair of contracts. All of the old faculty, conspicuous among whom are Engene Carusl, who has taught the subject of real property law for twenty-six years, and James Schouler, the judicial writer and a member of the teaching corps of Boston University, wfco enters upon his nineteenth year of consecutive service in the National University I.aw School, and Brig. Gen.

Davis, judge advocate general of the army and late professor of International law at West Point, will retain the chairs held by them during the year of There being no undergraduate department of the university, the law school is not represented in athletics, but an "interesting and efficient legal debating society Is maintained by the student organization, and several series of prize public debates are usual each year. The social activities of the school also find an outlet in the Joseph Choate Chapter of the Sigma Nu Phi. a Greek letter fraternity which originated years ago in the National University and which now lias important chapters in a number of outside universities. The local chapter has a frat house at 1016 13th street, three blocks from the National University Law School building, 818-820 13th street. FOB COLORED YOUTH.

Instruction Provided by Washington Conservatory of Music. The Washington Conservatory of Music and School of Expression is unique In the fact that It is the first Incorporated musical school in America for the Instruction of colored youth in all branches of music. Itwas founded in 1903 by its present president. Mrs. Harriet Gibbs Marshall, and now has its home In the building owned by the president, at 002 street.

Since its foundation the school has had an enrollment of more than GOO students, representing not only the District of Columbia, but several of the states The faculty Includes fourteen professors and assistants instructing in eight voice, violin, elocution, wind instruments, organ, languages, harmony counterpoint and musical story. The president, Mrs. Marshall, formerly assistant directress of music in tht public schools of the District, is a graduate of tiie Oberlin Conservatory of Music and lirished her studies abroad. Three other members of the faculty have also studied in Clarence Cameron White, the violinist of the Oberlin Conservatory; Mr. Felix Weir, the violinist of Chicago and Miss Abby Williams.

The School of Expression Is under the directorship of XIr3. Coralle Franklin Cool wife of Prof. George Cook of Howard University. The treasurer of the conservatory. Mrs.

Cook, is a graduate of the Emerson School of Expression of Boston. Mr. Gerald Tyler, instructor in the voice department and a music teacher in the public schools, is a graduate of the Oberlin Conservatory of Music. Mr. Amplla.s H.

Glenn, the instructor- in the department of modem languages and also a teacher in Latin in the Street High School, is an A. B. of Oberlin College, class of 1002. The lecturer In the department of musical history Is Mr. N.

B. Marshall. a graduate of Harvard College, class of 1897. This conservatory, which embraces many of the methods of the best conservatories in this country and abroad, is original in the purpose of compiling and preserving the old negro melodies and developing the natural musical aptitude of the colored youth. So great is the Interest in this phase of the conservatory's scope that Air Ernest Hogan, tiie comedian, has onered a prize of J200 for the best original production from the department of harmony and compcsition, a symphony preferred.

Among the donors of scholarship are Booker T. Washington. Judge Mifflin Gibbs, who presented the conservatory building to his daughter; Silver, Burdett Co. of New York. Miss Grace Dodge of New York, Harry T.

Burleigh of New ork. Cole Johnson of New York and Samuel H. Vick of Wilmington, N. C. WISE TRAINING OP YOUTH.

One of the Aims of the Friends Select School. In the Society of Friends the careful training and education of children is considered of supreme importance, and so when Washington became the national capital and Friends built a meeting house on I street they made proyision under the same roof for a Bchool. The present principal. Mr. Sidwell, in 1863 opened the Friends School.

From a small beginning of eleven pupils in one room the school has grown until it now includes more than 200 pupils distributed among all grades, from primary through the hJgh school, and from one teacher to fifteen. The one room has been added to until now there are three buildings; with twenty-five rooms specially designed and equipped for school work. All rooms receive sunshine and are evenly heated and well ventilated. Playgrounds and a good gymnasium-provide means for play and physical development. Hot, wholesome lunchc-s with dainty service are provided.

So well Is the health of children cared for and the amount of work arranged that children who have never been able to attend school a whole year elsewhere have kept along at the Friends, growing stronger ail the time. The school Is this summer replacing its old laboratory with two new ones, for chemistry and physics. Two years ago It added with Its fine new budding a department for manual training and art. A good reference library, stereopticons with lantern slides, a compound microscope, maps, charts. minerals, fossils and an abundance of material for nature study, besides several skeletons and numerous anatomical models, help to make up the constantly growing equipment.

The school early turned Its attention to preparing for college and has sent students to more than twenty of the higher institutions. including all of the larger eastern colleges for men and women. Although the school has been awarded the certificate privilege by practically all colleges admitting students In that way It urges its students to enter on examination rather than certificate, because that is the most direct way and helps to keep high standards among teachers and students. In June final college entrance examinations were taken by Beatrice Bulla for Vassar; Ethel B. Chase.

Bryn Mawr; Nelson Johnson and Frank Smith for George Washington and John S. Perry for Troy Polytechnic. All of them passed. Preliminary examinations were taken with gratifying results by Marie A. Aldrlch for Vassar, Harold B.

Chase for University of Pennsylvania, William B. Windsor for Williams, Almeda Barr and Corabel Bien for Vassar. From meager equipment and comparative obscurity the school in twenty-thiee years become one at the great preparatory schools with a national reputation, more hopeful and earnest than ever to do its share in building up the national character through wise trafhlnc of Its youth. ALONG BROAD LINES Progress of George Washington University. DEVELOPMENT IS STEADY Details of the Comprehensive Flans for Enlargement.

OPENING OF SCHOLASTIC YEAB Graduate and Professional Education Range of ActivitiesGrowth of College Spirit. George Washington University is preparing to enter upon its fifth scholastic year since its reorganization along the broad lines indicated in the will of George Washington for a national university in the capital city of the country. Prospects for the steady and uninterrupted development of the university in its enlarged design during the coming session arc unusually, bright. Since the new era In the history of the Institution was ushered in four years ago the general advancement of the university has been directed with the definite aim embodied in the term "The Greater George Washington." With each succeeding session there have been satisfactory accomplishments in the shaping of the plans and in the actual preliminary results. But the term which opens September 2'J next promises lafger returns than any of the preceding sesions under the new regime.

The measure of development since the reorganization is found in the enhanced prestige of the university and the enlarged attendance of students. year there was an increase of more than 300 in the enrollment as compared with that four years ago. The total number in attendance upon tjie course in the various departments of the university was then nearly 1,000. Indications are that the figures for this year will show a marked increase. The comprehensive pi ins for the enlargement of the university include, as has been before stated in The Star, the erection of an extenshe and magnificent college home on the new grounds of the university at.

Van Ness Park. These plans provide-for a dignified collection of structures of classic style and of the architecture of the White House and other public buildings in that section of the city. In the central portion of the group is to be the memorial building, surmounted by a beautiful and stately dome. In front will be a broad portico with Corinthian columns. The different buildings will be so arranged as to Inclose a spaclous campus.

Plans for Buildings. In addition to the affiliation with the George Washington Memorial Association, having In view the accomplishment of the Ideas of the association and those of the university at the same time, other plans for raising money for buildings and for endowments are well under way. A considerable portion of a fund of $100,000 for the prevention of any deficiency in the current expenses for the next five years and for enlarging the educational work of the university to meet the increasing demands has already been raised by the trustees. Part, also, of a fund of $150,000 to be devoted to the erection of Alumni Hall, intended as the social center of university life, has been raised by the alumni. The accumulation of a $2,000,000 endowment fund to be devoted chiefly to the development of the graduate department of art3 and sciences, is the aim of plans which are now being formulated.

This endowment fund is also THE GEORGE WASHINGTON UNIVERSITY Organized by Special Act of Congress in 18,21. CHAS.

The third division under the professional school, the department of politics and diplomacy offers courses leading to the degree of master of diplomacy and Ph.D. A movement has been Inaugurated for the formation of an undergraduate technical school of politics and diplomacy with a special view of fitting students for the consular service and other governmental work.

Arts and Sciences. Graduate courses In the department of arts and sciences lead to the degrees of master of arts, master of science, civil engineer, mechanical engineer, electrical engineer and doctor of philosophy. The latter, the highest degree conferred by the university, Is only granted after the most difficult requirements have been ful GEORGE WASHIN( Intended for the payment of salaries and the equipment of laboratories. Of this about $200,000 in gifts has been assured. One of the next important steps In the onward march of the university will be the erection of one or more of the buildings planned at the new site.

Already some of the educational work of the university Is being done at Van Ness Park.where apartments in the old mansion have been fitted up for the use of the classes in mechanics. As the buildings are completed they will be occupied until finally the transfer of the university from Us present seat, 15th and streets, will be complete. The work of the George Washington University under its present system Is directed mainly along the line of graduate and professional education. It also provides for collegiate and technical courses. Under the act of Congress enlarging the scope of the university It is empowered to organize colleges for the purpose of carrying on.

in connection with the university, special lines of educational work in the arts, sciences and liberal and technical knowledge, such colleges to be educationally a part of the system of the university, but upon Independent flnan- clal foundations. Affiliated Agreements. The-university is also authorized under of CongresB to enter Into affiliated agreements with any institutions of learning outside the District of Columbia for the purpose of giving to students of such institutions the educational facilities of the university. The colleges, the professional schools and the departments of graduate studies constitute the general divisions of the wide range of activities In which the university is now engaged. To the colleges are assigned the undergraduate and technical courses.

First among them is the Columbian Collega, founded In 1821. of which the university is the outgrowth. It offers courses now, cs then, in the liberal arts and pure sciences leading to the degree of bachelor of arts and bachelor of science. The Washington College of Engineering, which was organized a year ago. Drovldes courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science in civil, mechanical and electrical engineering.

T'he third principal collegiate division is that rf architecture, with courses leading to the degree of bachelor of science in architecture, while the fourth Is the National College of Pharmacy, which provides the course leading to the degree of doctor of pharmacy. The department of medicine, and the department of law, and the department of politics and diplomacy are the three general divisions of the professional school. The first 'of these has two subdivisions, the school of medicine, giving the degree of doctor of medicine, and the school of dentistry. giving the degree of doctor of dental 1 surgery. At the beginning of the next session the new system whereby tliesa coursc will be under one facuty.

but with two deans as heretofore.will be put Into effect. The department of law and jurisprudence gives courses leading to tie degrsss of bachelor of laws, master of laws, master or (latent laws and doctor of udence. At JTON UNIVERSITY. filled on the part of the candidates. It Is shown that only 27 per cent of those who matriculate for the degree of doctor of philosophy have attained It.

The average time devoted to the course intended to lead up to the degree following the taking of the master's degree has been something more than three years. The average number of years spent by the candidates In seeking the highest degree after receiving the bachelor's degree has been about eleven years. In the past year the library of the university was carlched by tho gift of the Germanic library of the late Prof. Richard Heinzel. By that acquisition there were added to the university library H) volumes and pamphlets relating to Germanic philology and kindred branches.

The Institution added in that time two new colleges, those of pharmacy and engineering. The student body during the last session was divided as follows: undergraduates. 100 graduates and professional students. As compared with the preceding session the total number showed an increase of 124 students. The members of the faculty and teaching numbered 200.

Coincident with the general development of the university has been the giowth of college spirit, both In the graduate and undergraduate bodies. Including aii depaitments of the institution. Along ai. lines increased fidelity to "George Washington" Is shown. It is especially manifested In functions pertaining to the social side of student life and In athletics.

In which Lhere has been a great impetus in the past iew years. Many changes have teen made in the arrangement of courses of study uniltr the new auspices, the development of the university keeping pace with its outward growth. Night classes have been abandoned, the regular closing at 0:30 o'clock p.m. The courses are arranged with a distinction between students who give their full time to their studies and those whose time is divided between tho university work and other pursuits. From one to three more years have to be devoted by the latter In order to obtain their degrees.

This is considered wholly equitable In that the aim is to require an equal amount of work In all courses leading to the same degree. In the past few years more than thirty professors and Instructors have been added to the teaching corps. These are graduates of leading American colleges and universities and in most cases they give their whole time to the institution. Special culture courses are open to the teachers of the public schools of this city, and other courses arc provided for "auditors" and review Dr. Charles W.

Needham. the president of the university, is administering the affairs of the Institution with the constant aim of attaining the ideal of "The Greater George Washington." It was with the election of Dr. Needham to the presidency in June. 11)02. that the new era In the history of the school was commenced.

A national character has been given to the board of trustees by tho election to For Boys and Girls. 24th Year Begins Sept. 24. Primary, Intermediate and High School Departments. Prepares for College.
