Enjoyed Now
MANY ALIEN STUDENTS
The numerous hlgh-class boarding schools
nd military academies In the vicinity of
Philadelphia will open this fall -with a rec
ord enrollment unlefli prevented by mora
serious development In tlio Infantile paraly-
' Krornai9 of these establishments recently
visited by a representative of the Kvenino
jLcdoer cama tho almost universal regret
ot'lack of accommodations for tho flood of
applicants. ... . ,
One year ago, when the futuro business
conditions of tho nation were enveloped In
doubt, tho EvENtNO LEDdEn mado a (sim
ilar canvass In tho belief that theso somt
publlc Institutions, which draw their clien
tele from tho most piuaeprous families In
eery Stato In the Union, afforded tho most
accuralo barometer from which to mako a
forecast and was well rewarded by tho re
sult The facts and figures then obtained
nao full promise of what actually hap
pened, namely, a year of unexampled pros-
But If tho Information reoetved last year
led to such a prediction and subsequent ful
fillment, tho ono gleaned this year means
n still greater measuro of prosperity for
tho coming year.
Besides representation from every State,
there Is In these Institutions a considerable
sprinkling of foreigners Tho total number
of such at any ono school Is not large If
compared with tho total enrollment, but the
aggregate makes a very respectable con
tingent. Students, both In boys' nnd girls'
schools, can bo found from Japan, China,
India, Great Britain, Trance, Germany and
Switzerland, from almost every ono of tho
South American Republics, from Cuba,
Porto ltlco and at least one from Balboa
In tho Canal Zone.
For many generations New Hngland
reigned supremo In high-class private edu
cational establishments, but Inquiries show
that tho tide has turnod In Pennsylvania,
and particularly In tho neighborhood of
Philadelphia, tho private educational lnstl
tutloni are not only drawing many that
formerly went to Is'ew England schools, but
also many students resident In Now Eng
land States nro coming to get their edu
cation hero.
PEES NOT AFFECTED BT PRICES
It might be reasonably supposed that tho
present high cost of foodstuffs and Inbor
would havo had Its effect on tho fees
charged, but in only ono case has there
been any increase In tho last three or
four years, and In that caso tho additional
oharco was only $20 for tho term to offset
high charges for laundry work.
It was learned that students at military
colleges prefer to spend their vacations
at civilian camps, while the students at
nonmllltary colleges take to tho "prepared
ness" camps.
Very few of tho students of either mili
tary or nonmllltaiy Institutions nro now
at the Mexican border. In fact, only two
could bo trared there, although a number
of alumni nro on duty ut the border.
It may be a surprise to many, especially
those who havo recently become ardent
"prepaicdneis" advocates, that for 25 years
militaiy drilling has been taught and for
four jears courses In Bed Cross work and
nursing have been given at the moat ultra
of the joutiir ladles' schools In the suburbs
of Philadelphia.
Some of the young ladles nt this school
acted as ofTicfis at tho Bed Cross camp at
Washington, D. C, this summer.
At Bccc'ivvood School, Jenklntown, Pa,
the principal. Dr. M. If. Boaser, reported
a laiger enrollment tharrhe could take caro
of. The fees In this school are graduated
ace 01 dins to tho rooms occupied, and all
the expensive rooms vvero taken first. Doc
tor Iteaser also conducts the Irving College,
t Meo'ianlcsburg, near Harrisburg, which
SB imichnsid last year.
'J) Mthough a new school Is to bo opened

etjiollment
Miss Marshall has a large local clientele,
which she has built up during her 20 years

At tho Swaithmore Preparatory School
Profoisor Tomllnson, the principal, said his
enrollment was 30 per cent more than at the
same tl'ne last jear. He has about 110
boarders nnd CO day pupils They come
from Cuba, South America and many from
West Viiglnla and Ohio.
This Institution was formerly "a coed
establishment Now it Is "for boys only,
but n short distance away Prof. H. M.
Christ conducts a double establishment for
girls.
These are the Mary Lyon School and the
Soven Gables, with an enrollment of about
125 Ono of these schools Is for children
from 6 to 14 years nnd tho other for those
above H. These schools specialize on out
door classes, but thero Is nothing of the
tubercular Idea In this connection
There Is ono student from Swarthmore
College on the Mexican border. About 30
I Elates are represented in Swnrthmore'a stu
dent body besides foreigners from Hawaii
and the Argentine. About 500 students are
the college complement, nnd almost that
number is already enrolled, with applica
tions constantly coming In.
Mrs. Chapman, of Sprlngslde Academy,
Chestnut Hill, expects at least as cood
success as last jear.
Chestnut Hill Acadeny Is a local Insti
tutlon for boys only. Doctor Patterson, the
principal, eald his enrollment would be
about the same as last year, and he expects
to open September 27. Only a few of the
States are represented at this school and
there are no foreigners.
DISCIPLINE MOST NEEDED
"What wo need most in our American
schools, our colleges, our homes, our work
shops, our business establishments, our of.
flees, banks, everywhere. Is discipline, and
again discipline," said Colonel Hyatt, of the
Chester Military Academy, "and that is
Jhat I aim at In addition to a thorough col
lege course at this academy."
"We are soon to bo, engaged," he con
tinued, "in a titanic struggle for commercial
supremacy with the whole civilized world,
Mslde which the present military struggle In
Europe Is nothing, and then, as now, the
disciplined men are going to win."
Colonel Hyatt will Introduce a new course
in economics at the coming term.
Sixteen graduates of the Institution are
ofllcers of the United States regular army,
now on the Mexican border, Twenty-Jive
of the alumni are officers of tho National
uuard, doing duty in Texas, and 20 ofllcers
in concentration camps Jn different States
are former cadets of the Chester Academy,
