In camp life there {s no “keeping up with the Joneses.” It's all “just a bynch of girls” Washington is un- usually fortunate in having so many fine camping spots in its vieinity, and girls and bovs are not slow {n adant- | ing these localities to their camping purposes.

A committee of three councilmen was appointed to solicit contributions, both in money or lots, for the benefit of the sehools, and it was_to this contribution that Thomaw Jefferson, then the President of the United States, gave the sum of $200. The original system included an academy whére poor children were to be taught reading, writing, grummar, arjthmetic and such branches of mathernatics as would qualify them for the professions they were in- tended to follow.
