History of School. Back in 1868, when the Sisters of Charity took their first humble step | toward fitting orphan girls for self-| supporting womanhood. one of the first to come to their assistance was Col. Berritt, mayor of Washington, and his wife. When the small venture had developed into, a need for a house Instend of rooms, the late Willlam Galt offered the Sisters a lot’on G street, south of the Ave- nue. Finding it too small, he pur- chased the adjoining lot from Mr. Todd and presented it with the other. In 1887, it was necessary to build an addition and through Senator Black- burn of Kentucky, who knew of the work that was belng done, Congress donated a liberal sum. As the vear: passed the work inéreased to an ex tent that called for still larger quarters—a need that reswited in the present splendid strudture on | Phelps place and California avenue rin Taught Trades. Young girls deprived of home pro- tection are especially trained in trades wnd arts. i St. Rose’s so seldom comes before | the public that its work is but little | known, but just now, with over a hun- ' (Cameras and PhotoSupplies all sizes and kinds of cameras at almost any price < Big stack for Christmas OPTICAL CO. 614 ¥ 712 11th Street L h%fiz%@?s@h&h%fi%’t%fi%fi@h Bank of Commerce and Savings § Christmas 1924 T : Shioe : | THE EVENING sifm! WASHINGTON < < Prehistoric Man ad At Santa Barbara they found, some forty cubits underground, the skull of some man now unknown, which skull was largely made of bone. And scientists, remely wise, have viewed it wnfi their brooding eyes, and scratched it with inspective nails, and weighed it on ther city scales; its owner rambled to and fro about a million years ago. I view the n and I sigh, “The poor old fish—why did he die? But since his skull is twice as_thick -as that of any modern hick, we may assume he was a chump who lacked the sense to dodge \the dump. Per- haps he drove, with nerve and gall, in his rude homemade carryall, an hogged the road and wouldn’t mind the by-laws published for his kind, and hit up fourteen miles a day where seven miles would be O. K. and then, while skidding 'round a curve, a tire blew out, he lost his nerve, and ditched his boat and broke his neck” and perished in the twisted wreck. Ilook back through a mist of tears across about a mil- lion years, and see the crowner hold his quest, and hear him say, “'Tis for the best; bonehead drivers will get gay, and hit up fourteen miles a day, they surely furnish, when they croak, a lesson fine for other foll 1Copyright.)
