A DECIDEDLY interesting educa
tional problem confronted the
founders of the Washington
School when they started out to estab
lish an Institution) that would give the
sons of well-to-do parents everything
they could wish for their boys, consid
ered In the light of the latest and best
principles of boy training. An open
field lay before them location, bulld-
lngs, faculty, courses, all the factors
tnat go to make up an Ideal school,
The selection of the location for the
School and the working out of tho de
tails of Its management have been so
felicitous that one wonders why these
ideas had not been utilized before fur
a great boys' school.
The Washington School, now con
ducted with the success deserved by
Its careful planning, is situated in the
most beautiful and healthful portion of
the District of Columbia, where its
pupils have he valuable opportunity
oi ieany access to tno -National Capl
tal, and where, on tho other hand, the
fundamehtal advantages of country
surroundings are ever present.
A Beautiful Situation.
The casual visitor to Washington
piobably never appreciates the fact
that immediately to the northwest of
the National Capital the country Is
suddenly transformed from the low
lying fields bordering the Potomac to
a magnificent ridge of rolling hills,
Those Washlngtonlans, however, who
are able to gratify their tastes for
beautiful and healthful country homes
have long known of this locality.
President Cleveland's "Red Top" was
one of the first of tho many handsome
residences built heie, and since its
erection Mr. John U. McLean, Admiral
Dewey, and a dozen more well known
people have established their homes in
the vicinity. Here, too, are the sites
of the new American University and
of the National Cathedral.
From this height there aro magnifi
cent views of the city of Washington,
with the Monument, tne Capitol, tho
gilded dome of the Congressional Li
brary, and other landmarks of the city,
naklng a noble and Inspiring picture.
To the bouth, one looks across the val
ley of the Potomac to Arlington and
the picturesquely wooded bluffs of the
Virginia Bhore. To the north and west,
ono sees the distant outlines of Uio
Blue Ridge. More immediately about
the School thn details of tho country
are not less attractive. Tho height of
ground, four hundred feet above
Washington, is diversified with numer
ous charming valleys, fells, woods, and
fields. With trolley cars offering In
twenty minutes quick access to the
city, tho problem of location has cer
tainly been solved with raio success.
Educational Advantages,
But the more obvJous geogruphlcal
advantages of this site aro really sec
ondary for the purposes of tho Wash
ington School to the educational ad
vantages afforded by the great collec
tions, libraries, and galleries, the finest
in America, brought together by the
National government, It 1b of no little
importance in the subtler ttalnlug of a
boy's Intelligence and taste to have at
hapd such Institutions as the Corcoran
Art Gallery, the Congressional Library,
the Smithsonian Institution, the other
great National museums, and the Im
posing architecture of the public build
ings. Visits to tl)eso aro Justly felt to
be an Important item In the training of
boys. Indeed, the fact of living near
the National Capital, in such close
proximity to and sympathy with the
great forces that aro guiding tho whole
nation, Is of Inestimable value In a
boy's development. What Congress
means, or the House of Representa
tives, or the Supreme Court all these
phraBcs take on real meaning when in
his most Impressionable years the boy
has th1 opportunity actually to see the
fy-,., is".!. ,"i'::" " rjmHBEr111! M ,,,, "smmmtKBJ . ... . . ... .
Kovernmcntal, legislative, and Judiciary
bodies at work. Tho youthful mind
really requires such concrete and dra
matic presentation of these conceptions
to grasp the necessary facts of cltlzen
Bhlp and government. Furthermore,
arrangements are made for tho visits
of some of the most famous living Jur
ists and statesmen to tho Washington
School to give talks to the students. '
But, Indeed, qullo apart from tho
Cnpltnl Itself, tho situation of the
School Is an admirable one for tho pur
pose of bringing the boys Into lively
touch with the events of our national
history. The country within a hundred
miles around Is permeated with the
richest historical associations, mid pil
grimages conducted by tho Instructor
of history to all these famous places
bring home to the boys the facts and
lomances of our history, from tho
earliest English settlement In America,
to tho last battle of the Civil War.
The Homo Life.
Tho living arrangements of tho
Washington School show the same
clear-headed consideration and origin
ality of conception that one sees In the
'election of llr. site. The boys live at
Plerson House, a handsome private
residence, built at an expense of over
$60,000. Designed for the use of a pri
vate family, It fulfills the Head-Master's
Ideal of a home for the boys. This
Ideal Is that they should get here at
the Washington School JU3t us much
of tho best home life as Is possible
away from their parents. A tactful
and nblc House-Master and his wlfu
preside over the home establishment,
so that, with the se: vices of a compe
tent matron, the boys really have a
home, as distinguished from a bar
racks. The house itself, from the large
reception hall, with Its open fireplace,
to the sunny bedchambers, with their
hardwood floors and pretty furniture.
Is mo't spacious and Inviting. The
view over Into Virginia from the sec
ond story is something worth going to
Washington to see. Not more than
sixteen bovs are admitted to this

house, but for that number every com
,fort. that it is wise to give any boy is
at hand. Moreover, the boys enjoy the
additional advantages, uncommon in a
boarding school, of a woman's over
sight and companionship.
There are no study rooms in thin
building. It is for the boys to live in.
The School realizes the value of separa
ting tho work front the home life. Ac
cordingly, Dunster Hall, especially de
signed for the workday, has been
erected at some little distance from the
home. In It are tho classrooms, the li
brary, and the fully equipped gymna
sium, with every modern accessory and
convenience. The school building Is
tastefully decorated with largo photo
graphs and engravings, but It Is at
fiist sight recognized as a place for
work, just as the residence has no
suggestion but that of a home.
Equipment.
Especial care has been taken to make
the equipment of the School ns thor
ough and complete as posMhlo, and to
supply every necessity for good teach
ing. Slate blackboards, three feet wide,
extend around the walls of each chiss
room; the study halls aie furnished
with adjustable desks of tho best and
latest pattern; among the numerous
mups possessed by the School Is a bet
Issued by the government, showing the
recent acquisitions to the United
States. As an aid to tho pioper ap
preciation of tho best In art, numer
ous photographs of famous pictures,
statues and scenes from the Old World
are hung In the different rooms.
For work in geology, the school pos
sesses a mlnernloglcal and geological
collection of S00 specimens, as well np
geological models, photographs, and a
sot of scientific maps, Including topo
graphical and geological folios of tho
United States Geological Survey. For
work In meteorology, the school Is
equipped with an Instrument shelter
and tho standard Instruments.
Physical Training, Athletics.
The founders of Tho Washington
School, realizing that a strong healthy
body is absolutely necessary for tho
highest mental and moral culture, have
provided the best facilities for phyhlcal
training. For use during tho winter
months, tho.School has a well lighted
and ventilated gymnasium fully
equipped with standard apparatus, nnd
with Iockeis and shower baths, Tho
splendid athlctiu crnunds. fx-tenrlliitr
over more than thirty acres, gives un
usual opportunity for nI outdoor
sports. These grounds, which aro Im
mediately adjacent to Dunster Hall,
were luld out by tho New York' land
scape nrchltect, Mr, Charles W, Leavltt,
Jr., and Include base ball and foot ball
fields, tenuis and basket ball courts, a
standard quarter mile runnlmr track.
and a fine golf courte,
Each pupil In the School, unless ex

is tnreetoio; to provide wholesome

During tho winter this exeiclso, which
is held out of doors whenever tinKHlhio
consists of gymnastics or calisthenics;
the movements aro airnnapd In ih.
most approved physiological order and

Critical attention Is paid to tho physi

him. Instruction on tho horizontal and
.parallel bars, and on the horse and
buck, Is given from time to times basket
ball and other linloor games uio en
couraged! arrangements may also be
made for special Instruction In boxing
and fencing. This opportunity for
choice from a wide range of exercises Is
much appreciated by tho pupils.
During tho Fall and Spring tho boys
take their dally exercise In some form
of out-door sport; the stronger nnd

Every detail of the y.tlilotle and gym

pervision of the Physical Director, who
has been a 'varsity foot ball and base
ball player, and who bus had In addi
tion, wide experience in directing gym
nastics and In coaching athletic teams.
The Washington School, since its
opening In 1000, has made for Itpolf an
enviable athletic record; teams In foot
ball and base ball from both tho Junior
and Senior Schools, have plnycd, and
as a rulo defeated, teams from other
schools. A golf tournament Is held
each Spring on the School links In
competition for tho Head-Master's Cup;

As a result of tho careful attention
given at Tho Washington School to ex
ercise and to all matters connected
with the pupils' physical well-being, tho
general health has, during tho two
years of tho School's existence, been
extremely good; thero has not been a

, Faculty.
The faculty of tho Washington School
Is exceptionally stiong, and it Is sufll
clently largo to pay careful attention to
tho needs of each Individual scholar.
Mr, Louis Leverett Hooper, the Head
Master, graduated with the Master of
Arts degreo from Harvard. After
teaching there for somo years, he
gained much pructlcal experience in
stivernl of the most Important boys'
schools in the East, which, wrMi his
close study of educational problems In
both Europe and 'America, fits him
thoroughly for the task before him at
the Washington School. Tho Assistant
Head-Mustor, Mr, William W. dale,

was for seven years tho assistant prin
cipal ot Smith Academy, ofBb Louis,

sippi Valley, and ho, too, has studied
the most modern educational methods
In the Oraduato School at Harvard.
Dr. U. H. Ingham, tho House-Master,
Is a Doctor of Philosophy ot Yalo Uni
versity, and has been for tlnco years a
member ot tho Yalo faculty.
Arrangement of Studies.
Tho Washington School has no. fixed
curriculum, no grades, no "forms," In
stead, there are forty-two different
courses, each representing from two to
five periods of work la. week. From
these courses the Head-Master selects
for each pupil those which In tho Judg
ment of the faculty and of the boy's
parents will promote his best Interests.
A pupil's own preferences arc consldr
ered, but tho knowledge which hln par
ents and teachers havo of his abilities
and fuhito needs determines In the
main tho stuillrs which he shall pursue.
A boy can, if It Is thought best, study
the traditional subjects of tho old fltoil
curriculum, or he can take up studies
not usually offeted In secondary schools,
such us geology or colonial history. He
can shape his course with reference to
thc'entiunce rciiulieinents of any col
lege or hclcntlftn school, or of the Uni
ted States Military or Naval Academy.
The advantages of such a system of
Individual election arc manifold. Tho
leading educational thought of the day
Is directly away fiom tho old fixed
curriculum. Piesldent Eliot of Hur-

vurd s.iyb: "Chllilien, llko adults, nro
not alike, but lullnltely diffeicnt; the
object of education, as of life, Is to
hi Ing nut tho Innate poweis and de
velop t'o the highest possible degree tlio
natural and acquit ed capacities of tho
Individual," Dr. Nicholas Murray But
ler, Piesldent of Columbia UnlverMty,
emphasizes the samo Idea; "During tho
becondaiy school period tastes aro to
bo developed Into capacities und each
pupil started Into that lino of Intcicst
and activity that Is best adapted to
him." Tho Washington School, tluough
Its elective system, endeavors to carry
out the great principles thus laid down
by President Eliot and Dr. Butler, It
seeks to discover the tastes of each boy
and to develop Uiopo tastes Into capaci
ties; to bring to light his Innate pow
eis and to mako these powers actlvo
and efllclent.
The electlvo system, as applied in tho
Washington School, has many advan
tages, A boy who at tho time he enters
Is backward In ono of his studies, will
not, as Is the usual piactlco elsewhere,
bo ictarded In his other work; he will
bevjin each subject at that point for
wl.cli bis pievlous pieparatlon has
qualified him. Similarly, a boy who
falls at the cud of the year to pass n
given subject will review that subject
only, and not, as In many bchools, tthe
entire year's work. Ho will be allowed
to progress rapidly In those studies In
which ho excels and will be given
cnoughptlmo to master those In which
he 13 weak. In preparing for college,
slnco ho is not restricted by a fixed
curriculum, ho can devote nil his time
to tho subjects required for admission,
In this way he can often save a year
in his college preparation.
' Individual caro and supervision per
vade not only the system of choosing
clcctlves, but also tho dally class-room
work. Tho number of boys In a given
courso Is in general limited to eight,
but often a class does not contain more
than three or four; thus tho teacher Is
ablo to know every pupil Intimately,
and to adapt his methods bo as to ad
vance both the brightest nnd slowest
without sacrificing tho progress of
either. A special study Is made of tho
needs and peculiarities of each pupil,
and a boy Is never lost sight of because
ho Is one In a crowd. In brief, the unit
of the Washington School is the boy,
not the class.
Student Organizations.
The boys of the Washington School
have organized a number of clubs or
societies, which nro open to all pupils
ot suitable age, and to members of the
faculty. They ore supported by Initia
tion fees and other dues paid by tho
members. It Is tho policy of tho School
to encourage 'such clubs, which are
mainly carried on by tho boys them
selves, but which are carefully super
vised by teachers. .
Tho Literary Club, the oldest of these
organizations, was formed "to encour
age the literary Interests of the School
and to afford literary entertainment for
its members." At tho meetings, which
ordinarily occur every two weeks, and
In which both pupils and teachers take
part, them arc presented an essay, a
reading and a debate. The Club has
given with i.uecess two plays, "Serious
Situation In Burleigh's Room," and "A
Proposal Under Difficulties."
The Golf Club has charge of the
links and look3 after the golf Interests
of the reboot. Each spring a formal
tournament Is held, the wlnne'r of
which holds for one year the Head
Master's Cup.
Both the Junior and senior schools
have their tennis clubs and boys of the
former trhool havo also an association
which holds meetings every two weeks.
Tho teachers nnd the older boys ot
Plerson House have organized a Bill
iard Club, which has purchased a first
class table and which holds frequent
tournaments.
Day Department.
Boys who live In Washington and the
immediate vicinity are able in the
Washington School to enjoy the num
erous advantages obtainable only In the
best boarding schools In the country.
The convenient location of the School on
I the Georgetown, and Tennallytown elec
, tile railway injjies It easily accessible
fiom every part of the city. The Tri
bune's scholarship embraces this fea
ture of the Washington school, as It
docs not piovide board nor lodging.
Scholarships.
Thero have been founded in the
Washington Si-lion), tluough the kintl
n: ?s of Its friends-, five scholarships
named after five of the leading univer
sities in the country: Columbian, Har
vard, Pilnceton, University of Virginia
and Yale. These scholarships will In
general be awarded only to student of
high standing and character who are
piepming for the colleges mentioned.
For the benefit of parents who wish
to have their rons attend tho Wash
ington School as boarding pupils, but
who cannot afford the advantages of
feied tit Plorbon House, arrangements
hao been made by which boys can find
a homo In the families of ccrtuln mem
bers of the faculty or of others recom
mended to the Hcad-iMastcr by minis
teis of the city. By this plan boys ot
Mvjall means arc enabled to avail them
ichcs ot all the hcholnstlc and athletic
adi .images of tho School at fiom one
half to two-thluls the usual tost, A
special circular will bo sent from the
i School giving information on this point.
Eminent Sponsors.
With an institution so perfectly
adapted to give tho best physical, men
tal, and moral training, it is not sur
rrlsing to find that the men who aro
on tho Advisory Board, and who aie
supporting and standing behind tho
School, Includo such well known people
as Justice Biewcr, of tho United States
Supremo Court; ex-Secretary of the
Treasury Lyman J. Gage, Senator
George F, Hoar, Commissioner Car
iiill D. Wright, ex-Secretary of Stato
John W. Foster, and President Charles
C, Ulover, of tho Rlggu National Bank.
Among those who may ho icfcrrcd
to, regarding tho standing of tho
School, and whn havo helped It by
their advice and suppmt, one no
tices many names of men known tho
world over as leaders of education
al effort In their respective fields
President Eliot, of Harvard; President
Patten, of Princeton; President Had
ley, of Yale; President Angell, of tho
University of Michigan; President Har
per, of tho University of Chicago; and
Dr, William T, Harris, the United
States Commissioner of Education,
It Is to be frankly recognized that
such exceptional advantages as the
Washington School has to offer are be
yond tho reach of ninny who would ba
glad to secure them for their children.
Not every family can Invest in the edu
cation of Its son tho bum of $750 to $1,000
a year that Is necessary to bend hlm to
this Institution. For those, however,
who can mako such an Investment, tho
establishment of this School in the best
possible site for the full education of a
coming American citizen, nnd under
such brilliant auspices, Is a matter of
coiiETittulatlon.
During the two years since the open
ing of the School In the fall of 1900, It
Urns had a most successful career; In
Its second year, every one of its old
pupils except ono vho entered Harvard
In both the day and boarding depart
ments returned, and the total attend
ance Increased more than three-fold.
The Secretary, whose address la 4109
Wliconiln Avenue, Washington, D. C,
will furnish desired information about
the Washington School for Boys.
The Tribune's Offer.
The Tribune offers as a special re
ward In its Educational Contest a
scholarship In the Washington School
for Boys, and the young man who se
lects this reward will bo entitled to a five
years' course, with full tuition fees paid,
amounting to $300 a year, or a value ot
$1,500 for five years; In addition It pro
vides tho student with luncheon of tho
value ot $40 a year, making the total
value of the scholarship for the flvo
years $1,700. The student can easily
obtain board In the city of Washington
at a very moderate rate. It Is quite
possible that the student will complete
the course In less than five years, In
which caso The Tribune's obligation
would cease. This is the highest-priced
scholarship that The Tribune has ever
offered In the three years of Its educa
tional contests, and the young man
who wins It, no matter what his nge,
may enter at once upon his studies, as
no formal entrance examinations are
required.

Contest Why Othors Should Enter.
The time Is now ripe for the young
people who have been busied with pre
paring for examinations, promotions
and graduations from the public and
private schools to enter The Tribune's
Educational Contest. Now that the
books have been put away and the
minds arc beginning to evolve plans
for the future, the young men and wom
en who wish to stand an equal chance
with others In the turmoil and strife of
manhood and womanhood should begin
to take thought as to how best to pre
pare for tho struggle.
The Tribune offers thirty-three schol
arships In many Institutions of high
grade, offering Instruction In universi
ties, secondary schools, musical Institu
tions, business colleges, and kindred
schools These Institutions are located
at home, elsewhere in this state. Now
Jersey, and the District of Columbia,
offering a wide ranee of selection, both
! as to location and the system of in-
structlon In several of them The Trl
bunepays all charges, while In all lib
eral arrangements have been made.
It Is a good time to begin now. In
the two previous contests some of the
most successful contestants did not
commence to work until several weeks
after the contest opened. Last year
Miss Griffin, who won the contest, did
not start until five weeks had elapsed
