This, we understand, would in- crease the number of pupils in the Normal Se ste dof fifty; but under the ctrcumstances aps the only means of being e1 tirely just to all. future years we pro- pose the following as an amendment to the rules: A Proposed Amendment. ‘The pupils for the Washington Normal School for each year shall be selected from the graduates of the Washington High School for the preceding year, the Central High School, the Eastern Hig’! the Western High School be ach en- Utled to such pro rata proportion of ine ad- missions to the Normal School as the num- ber of graduates from each shall bear to the total number of graduates for the year im question. ““Out of a possible 100 as the standard for admission to the Normal School 7% yer cent shall be determined by the record of the pupil throughout his course through the High School, and the remaining 3 per cent shall be determined by an annual examina- of candidates, which shall be conducted the direction of the committee on high and normal schools in the month of | June in ¢ r. fter the 30th of June, 18%, no person be eligible for admission to the Nor- hool Who shall not have completed full four years’ course of study in the High School or the fulf equiv- t thereof, accompanied by at least two attendance at the High School.’ In Case of Sickness. ‘The committee also expressed the opinton “that where failure to graduate results from protracted sickness, the pupil might upon the recommendation of the normal faculty, ye Japproved by the board, be admitted the following year, and permitted to graduate then. Where a failure to graduate results from intellectual inferiority, want of appli- cause other than sickness, opinion that a second year’: al should not be accorded the pupil. To do so would be to exclude from the Normal School for such second year a corres- ponding number of the graduates from the Hich sed for the purpose of accommodating Such delinquent members of the preceding year. This in turn would subject the new or Srst year students of the Normal School to unfair competition with persons possess- ing the advantage of one year's prior train- ing and study.” The report was adopted with the under- standing that the amendments be considered at a future meeting. Manual Training Schools. Mr. Mitchell read a report from the spe- cial committee “to consider the advisability and feasibility of extending the manual training in the public schouls of the District of Columbia.” The report stated that the board of trustees had for several years | known there was a need for something to | be done to widen and extend their usefulness | and prepare the pupt Sooner to place ther ig position to obtain compensation for services rendered. It was to the pred class that the board a helping hand. A refer- nade to the great usefulness of chool, which the committee was sure would be felt for years to come. A large number of pupiis, however, for various reasons cannot take advantage of the business school, as their parents are not willing to have them continue beyond the eighth grade. It was true that for some years past there had been manual training as part-of the public school education. It had not been carried far enough, however, and the committee earnestly advocated the extension of this service. ‘The report was laid on the table for further consideration, after which the board sures ‘The terms of Trustees Mitchell, president of the board; Whelpley, Cornish and Wit- mer have expired, and it will be necessary amissioners to supply | the vacances at once, In order to avold em- \barrassments in the management of the | schools. mn to Pen Mar. vision, K. of P., will exeursion to Pen Mar on Grand | ‘The Washington kive a grand a fe tnd arrive ae Thursday next, September M4, via Baltimore : next tay, cumming wig | &Bd Ohio railroad, and they cordially invite ant Mefiaire and cewwamng the Al| Si thelr friends ‘to join them on this oc- ¢ USS LAM | cagion and spend an enjoyable tay in the .- an «in tay owches on | Mountain.

Where Those Who Desire to Acquire Knowledge May Find Instraction. The fame of Gonzaga College rests on achievements and not on advertisements. Scores of its children fill honored niches in Fame’s temple, and conspicuous places in life’s sphere. Hundreds of alumni bear tes- timony to the thoroughness of the training which they received. Its classical depart- ment is unexcelled, its business course is simple, practical and complete, and the dead and living languages, bookkeeping, mathematics, stenography, and type-writ- ing receive due attention. Rev. Cornelius Gillespie, S. J., is in charge. ‘The location of Randolph-Macon Acad- emy of Front Royal, Va.,is inviting to those who believe that air, exercise, and bhappi- hess are material aids to effective study. It is situated in the mountains of the Old Dominion, where the stones’ and running brooks are braries of sermons and books, and where a great deal of American his- tory may be read in the original package. Moral and religious influence is one of the strong points of this institution. The acad- emy will open on September 19th, and con- tinue in session for nine months. Rev. B. W. Bond 1s the principal. Columbia Studio of Elocution and Acting, No. 306 F street, presents claims to public attention. The old theory that actors, Itke poets, were born and not made has been exploded. Intelligent instruction and earn- est application by the student count in this as in all other fields. Many people have the will to succeed in histrionic art, and this studio presents the way. Elocution, per se, 1s a desirable thing, and should not be neg- lected. A good reader is always tn demand. Miss Eleanore E. Poole has charge. Collegiate School for Boys, 2024 P street, Presents special advantages for preparing youths for successful college careers. One who enters college with a systematic pre- paratory training has a marked advantage over those not so prepared. This is what Principal James A. Dunham proposes to do. ‘The thirty-third year of the Fauquter In- stitute for Young Ladies, at Warrenton, Va., has commenced, under the direction of Prof. George G. Butler, A. M., and his wife.

Persons desiring instruction in music should consult Prof. Edwin Hart, late of the New England Conservatory of Music | at Boston, and now principal of the Colum- bia Conservatory of Music at 9 K street. He makes a specialty of plano, harmony, ete. + Prof. Arnold W. Meyer, a graduate of the Leipsig University, is prepared to resume lessons in vocel and instrumental muste, and persons desiring his services should address him at 13% 12th street, or care of Metzerott’s music store. The Kee Mar College and Music ani Art Conservatory at Hagerstown, Md., is one of the finest institutions in the country for the education of young ladies. Prof. C. L. Keedy, the president; 1s an educator of high repute, and he has the assistance of a large and experienced faculty. The place is healthy and the rates are reasonable. Elocution and Delsarte are taught in fin- ished methods by Miss Daisy B. Harrison of 1382 T street northwest, who ts one of the meda) pupils of Ada A. Mosher, the accom- plished instructress of those necessary modern accomplishments. Young men and bays desiring preparation for colleges and technical schools and for business can receive a thorough course of instruction at Mr. Putnam's school of es- tablished reputation, which opens for the season on the 18th instant. Application should be made to Mr. A. N. McQuarrie, No. 1434 Q street. There ts no similar institution In the country that has a better reputation than the Mount Vernon Seminary, at the coraer of lth and M streets, and ro where else are young ladies better prepared for the higher duties of life than at the ad- mirable school over which Mrs. Elizabeth J. Somers presides. It 1s thoroughly mod- ern and progressive In methods and spi and adds a delicate social grace to Its prac tical and ornamental instruction. The best people of the country are numbered among its patrons, and its facilities for the care and comfort of its pupils are unsurpassed. Provision is made for boarding as well as day pupils, and the classes include primary, | secondary and collegiate courses. The fall term begins October 3 next. The fifty-fifth year of the Virginia Mili- tary Institute at Lexington, Va., has open- ed.

Damage Feared Along the River From the Recent Bain. ‘Traffic on the Canal—The Fishing Sea- son is in Sight—After the Gam- Dlers—Notes of Interest. All through the adjacent counties of Vir- ginia and among the hills of the upper Po- tomac the rains of the past few days have Gone serious Gamage. It is reported that a bridge spanning Piney créek has been car- ried away, that railroad tracks have been washed out, and that the tobacco crop has suffered to a large extent. Further than this, it is thought if the rain keeps up much damage will be done along the course of the Potomac, as already a rise is threatened. River men say that it can’t be noticed as yet down here, but that both reports and thelr experience teach them that it is bound to come, a very heavy fall of rain having taken place in the mountains. ‘To Refloor the Aqueduct Bridge.
