Leading Educators Prophesy
Good Year for Private Schools
: for Girls and Young Women
Principals of Educational Institutions of East and South Are Optimistic and
I Highly Sanguine Concerning Future War Cloud for Them Has Mpstly
Silver Lining Advise Introduction of Vocational Training
and Courses in Horticulture and First Aid.
THE School, College and Camp Bu-1
reau of Tua Bun presanta to
day a forecast of the prospects
bf the private schools for girls and
young women for the coming year.
There Is every Indication that next
season will be one of the most prosperous
of recent years. This prophecy Is based
on the replies from ten representative
private schools for girls and young
women of the "Eaat and South, Including'
day' schools and boarding schools anil
one "Junior cpllege." The heads of these
schools are all optimistic, and some of
them perceive signs pointing to In
creased prosperity for their own educa
tional Institutions next year. Instead,
of provlnR a hindrance the war cloud
that hangs over this country may prove,
to Am a stimulus for the Increase of the
site of registration figures for these pri
vate schools, for girls and young women.
It ehould be noted that the opinions
expressed In this symposium are couched
in much more positive terms than were
those concerning private schools for
boys and young men printed In the
school paseof Th Son on Sunday, May
6. Tlila terrible world war has , not
frightened anybody In the private school
world In general and It has not fright
ened In particular the principals of the
nrlvato whools for girls and young
woman throughout the country. Now Is.
the time when girls and young women
require tlwvcry highest grade of educa
tion that they can find, and It Is safe to
say that a diligent search "will lead them
alwayi past the overcrowded public
Schools on to one of the best private
school j it their acquaintance. It might
be remarked parenthetically that It they
er their parents 'ever "have the slightest
doubt as to which are the private schools
best suited to their needs the School,
College and Camp Bureau of The Son
Is ever ready to furnish them with ex
part advlco gratis.
The War Advantageous.
One of the most sanguine of these
achool authorities Is Florence A. Shaw
,Mrs. N. Archibald Shaw), principal of
Hamilton Institute for Girls. New TorK
cltv. Mrs. Shaw gives the following five
cogent reasons why "the war cannot help
but be advantageous for the best types
of private schools for girls:
1 "The wldentna- circle of duties and re
sponstbllltles laid on women demands
trained minds and well developed bodies.
"The demand or 'equal pay for those
women who take the place of men Is
only just If the work In truth be equal
This means careful preparation.
'The private school wlthllts more elas
tic curriculum fits the course of study
to the Individual needs of the pupil, thus
saving time In college or business prep
aratloa. Time Is more -valuable than
ever.
"America Is demanding of every
woman. What can you do? In the pri
vate school, wlthclasses limited to ten.
each student finds herself more readily,
earlier assumes personal responsibility,
chooses a calling.
"The teacher In the private school Is
selected from among many graduates
because of character and personality.
With small classes and out of school
activities she comes In close contact
with her pupils and therefore Influences
them to & sane womanhood. America
heeds sane womanhood. What the pub
lic needs It will pay for. The school
doing good work need have no fear.
The' sham school, like other shams, will
disappear.''
An encouraging message has been
received from Northampton, Maes. Prin
cipal Helen E. Thompson of the Mary
A. Burnham School writes:
"I am hnppy to be able to say that
I have had no withdrawals on account
Of the war and no falling off In the
amount of correspondence with reference
to next year. My prospects are excellent
at pretent."
It Is evident that Miss Mason, head of
Mlaa C. E. Mason's School, the Castle,
Tarrytown-on-Hudson, N. T., believes
that the number of pupils at the private
schools will continue to increase In a
larger ratio than will the number of
pupils at the public schools. She has
faith that the American father will not.
indulge in false economy In the educa
tion of his daughter. Miss Mason has
written the following stimulating state
ment .
"In answer to the following questions,
'Apropos of the -war, what Is the Imme
diate prospect or the private schools for
girls and young" women?" and 'How wjll
tho war affect enrolment and attendance
in these schools for the ensuing year? I
can only say In answer for this school
that more requests for catalogues have
been received ulnco the declaration of
war than during the same period of time
for the past four years.

that thoughtful men and women will
economlxe on the education of their
daughters; on the contrary, parents will
realize more than ever before the Im
portance of a thorough education and
good discipline. In the past four years,
according to the latest reports of the
United States Commissioner of Educa
tion, the number of students attending
private schools, below college grade has
Increased tl pe'r cent.: while the Increase
In the number of pupils attending the
public schools of the same grade has
been 31 per cent."; this In spite of the
fact that the country passed through a
period of depression.
"Our country cannot be Bafe without
safe leaders. One leader of whatever
political creed, In whatever crisis In out
history', sitting at, the White House, can
never alone save our country. There
must be leaders In cities, in towns, In
small rural districts, leaders In the
smaller circle of the quiet home,
"As a class private school principals
believe In the high destiny of our nation.
In Us leadership of the mighty and
potent forces of the world ; they feel It
a lilsh privilege to live heart to heart
with the lives they teach and to Imbue
them with the mighty conception of our
great democracy, with a broad spirit of
nationality and to teach them of their
Individual duty to lead the masses along
the greatest lines, not with a sense of
aristocratic seclusion and exclusion, not
with the spirit, 'I am the better trained,
give me right of way, but with a con
sciousness of noblesse oblige.
"The American father la a true demo
crat and to-day more than ever before
he sends his children to a private school
primarily because he wishes them to be
broader In spirit, to have a larger out
look upon life as a fine art, and a deeper
conception of responsibility In serving
that life, so that they may be there
trained to perform their part as the
wise, sane, well balanced, well equipped
members of a larger democratic national
life. A few years before the war It was
found that the leading statesmen In
nearly every one of Great Britain's do
minions were educated at the same
private school. The public school system
Is one of the glories of our republic
and should rightly enlist the interest of
all citizens. But the fact remains that
most students study the same subjects
regardless of talents. It Is. true that no
special attempt is made to discover the
latent talents, nor to develop the per
sonality of each child."
Pennsylvania sends a message of good
cheer. Principal 31. H. Reaeer of the
Beechwood School of Jenklntown writes
the following:
Answering- your several questions
we take pleasure In saying that so far
as Beechwood School Is concerned the
present unsatisfactory conditions have
not had any apparent effect upon us.
"Our registration for the coming year
Is somcforty In advance of what It was
at this time last year.
'While It Is possible that the war con
ditions may make a little tardy the reg
istrations our own opinion Is that they
will not be affected In the end at all
seriously."
Miss Lois A. Bangs, principal of the
Miss Bangs and Miss Whlton School for
Girls, New York city, points out the
Interesting fact that no American girls
are now sent abroad for study.
I am glad to say that Miss Whlton
and I are 'hopeful regarding enrolments
for next year and we see no reason
why the principals of girls' schools
should be discouraged.
I think the prospect for private
schools for girls Is Just as good as It
has been for the last three years.
Girls Sent Abroad for Study.
"No American girls since the war has
begun have been sent abroad by their
parents for study; the same ItAtrue of
Canadian girls and of the daughters of
ngllsh and American parents who re-
Id e In Mexico.
"Of course the enrolments and at
tendance for the coming car 1917-18
will depend somewhat upon the location
Of the schools, but very largely upon the
business conditions that develop during
the summer.
"Some people will take more time to
make a decision as to whether or not
their daughters are to be sent away from
home ; In other words. It Is highly prob
able, that the enrolments will be some
what delayed.
I am assured by men of affairs and
tr.eu prominent In the business world
that there Is no strong probability of a
dlmunltlon of prosperity and financial
soundness.
The same conditions we anticipate
will continue lor a number of years."
Miss Clara Colburrie, principal of the
Rayson School, New York city, la also
very optimistic. The following Is her
message :
The war should help the private
schools that are aiming to give a thor
ough education, especially private
schools for girls. The average Ameri
can parent has never looked at his
daughter's education as seriously as docs
tne European parent The war threat
ens to make us too serious, or rather
will teach us to recognise values In a
woman's education because we shall de
mand valuable work from our women In
the next decade."
More than nn average enrolment In
schools of established standards Is fore
cast hy Mrs. Frances Marshall, head
of Mrs. Marshall's School. Brlarcllff
Manor, N. Y. Mrs. Marshall sends
a helpful message which reads as fol
lows:
"As to the prospect of attendance In
private schools for the coming year I
wouia lonecasi more than an average
enrolment In schools of established
standards,
"Particularly would I expect this to
be true of the country school owing to
probable changes In many home ar
rangements. "The girls of the future must be
taught to he not only practical and ef
ficient homemakers but nlso to face the
broader responsibilities toward society
which the enlarging sphere of woman's
I activity will demand.
"Parents In the present emergency
will bo brought face tn face with the
situation as never before and will
realize, as they have in the case of the
boys for fcome time past, that modern

dent Davis writes as follows: ,

mite to the symposium.
Intensive, Specialised Training,
"Of one thing I am confident: this
ought to be a good year for the private
schools. The war Is driving home the
belief In Intensive and specialized train
ing, which ought to be found at Its best
In these private schools. In spite of the
great Improvement in our public school
system, or perhaps because of this Im
provement, the good private schools
seem to be appealing to an Increasing

believe that more Inquiries than usual
aro coming In to the private schools.
The last two years have been trying
ones for the private schools and many
of the weaker Institutions have gone to
the wall. For those that remain I be
lieve that the coming session ought to
be a successful one, especially if some
practical rearrangement of courses la
made. As an Instance I may mention
that whereas In the past - we have re
quired of each student a course In Hlble
study we are substituting for It this
year a definite course In first aid and
nursing for all our students, and fn our
domestic science department we are
planning to do definite work for the
Red Cross. v
".Moreover, we are of opinion that the
Junior College, with Its definite di
ploma for two years of selected college
work, offers an attractive programme
for a young women desiring to fit her
self promptly for service to her country
This patriotic note, which Is heard
throughout the private schools of
America, muht prove a help and inspira
tion to tho students.
"Hence I hope and believe that the
coming session will be an excellent one
for the prlMite schools because I am con.
fldent that the private schools will make
special efforts to prove themselves
worthy of the patronage of patriotic
men and women."
Principal Louise P. Haushton of the
Knox School. Tarrytown-on-Hudson.
N. V., expresses the belief that the pri
vate schools for girls and young womert
that will markedly prosper will be those
that emphasize vocational training and
add horticulture or flrst aid to their
curriculums. Her message reads as fol
lows :
"In regard to the prospect for private
schools for the coming year I see no
reason to have a falling off In attend
ance. On the contrary, never before has
there been such a need for training of
young women. There Is no better place
than the private school and college to
get the physical and vocational, training
10 ni young women to be useful to the
country, where serious and earnest ef-
tort is so much needed.
Less Social Life Outside School.
"There has 'been no falling off In our
enrolment. In fact we have never be
fore had so many at this time of the
year. I expect there will be much less
social life outside the school. The de
mand for economy will also make peo
ple think In what way they will get the
best returns, and 4 do not think educa
tion will be neglected on this account
There will' undoubtedly be a great denl
of business, and with elimination of
wasteful extravagance and spending
that have been the reat falling of our
American people tho value of definite
training along lines of usefulness will
appeal more than ever to the parents as
well as to the young women themselves.
I think the schools will gain which em-
phaslze vocational training and add hor.
tlculture or first aid to their curriculum.
Many of the girls' schools have military
marching and horseback riding as well
hh serious and earnest study along tech
nical and sclentinc lines.
Like the other forecasts, that made
by Principal Kllia Kellas of the Emma
Wlllsrd .School, Troy, Is optimistic. It
reads as follows:
"In response to the questions let me
say that I think the enrolment and at
tendance In the private schools for girls
will not be.serlously affected by the war.
"MoKt of the glrtu In prltate schools

realise "that the future women of tho
nation are In the schools to-day and
that If these women are to be carefully
trained to meet their problems the less
interruption there is In the continuity of
their training the better,"
Thus It Is shown that throughout the
East from New England to the South
there Is unanimity of opinion that the
American private schools for -tglrls and
young women will In no way be Injured
and probably will be much helped oy the
war atmosphere of to-day and tho Im
mediate future. Success and prosperity
will be attendant next year on the high
grade private schools for girls and young
women.
V' ST. JOSEPH'S COLLEGE.
His Eminence James Cardinal Gib
bons presided at the 108th commence
ment at St. Joseph's College, Emmlts
burg. Rid. Miss Margaret Mahoney read
a trlbuto to the golden service of more
than half a century which was followed
by a chorus of filial affection and appre
ciation. The essays, "Know Thyself,"
by Miss Major Miller, and "Character,"
by Miss Ruth Paftlson, were considered
of more than ordinary merit; that of
Miss Pattlson was commended on ac
count of Its masterful delivery. "An
dante Rellgloso," Thome op. 70, played
In due form for violins by the Misses
Miller and Flanagan, Miss Margaret
Llnthlcum acting as accompanist at the
piano, lent a touch of sweet melancholy
to the programme. "Spring," a part
song In waltz form by the vocal class,
won well merited applause. The college
chorus, "Merry Golden Days." followed
the conferring of degrees. "La Regatta
Venezlann," a brilliant barcarolle m
quartet form by Dlsst, was masterfully
interpreted at two pianos by the Misses
Llnthlcum. Flanagan, Slokom and Tick

country between the ages of 14 and It'
are wage earners," says Mr. Rlggs,
"without training and without having
reached their full development. - A num
ber of these boys love the country. We
are teaching them agriculture and giv
ing them preparation for a life In which
they will be enabled to make a com
fortable living from the land, occupy a
worthy place In the community and
especially tn the present emergency re
lease older men for service at the front"

Is Your Son Successful at School?
Failures in school work can almost always be ttaced to one of the
following types of mind:
1. The grasshopper mind, that nlbblci
at everything and masters nothing.
2. The colorless mind unable to pic
ture or uh word. The moat pslhetlc
or all types, because It Is almost woollen.
n. The I-don't-care mind, that has be
come hardened by discouragement.
By studying these types of mind, we have
been able to accomplish remarkable results.
