Austin has enjoyed a satisfactory
and steady growth for many years.
But its phenomenal development has
been and always will be, no doubt, in its
educational activities. Unusually at-
tractive educational advantages are of-
fered in this city; not only to the people
of the State of Texas, but to the young
men and women of other States, who
desire to locate in Texas.

training for girls. Located one-half mile north
of the University of Texas, The Highlands com-
mands a lovely view from all sides.
It is really the successor of Whitis’ School for
Girls, and only a half block removed from the
site of the old Whitis buildings.
The school is housed in splendid fire-proof
buildings with ample dormitory space for its girl
boarders.
Mrs. W. T. Mather, the Principal, is one of
Austin’s most cultivated women and for many
years has -been intimately acquainted with the
work of the University—-which enables her to
give a splendid atmosphere to The Highlands
as a training school for girls who hope to enter
the University later.
The Austin Military School, in Fairview
Park, South Austin, opens its third session this
month. W. L. Dorsey, the superintendent, is said
o be an unusually successful man in the hand-
ing of boys. This school enjoys a patronage
from the best families of Texas.

has characterized those who have been charged
with the direction of the University’s policies.
The institution charges no tuition to citizens
or prospective citizens of Texas. The small ma-
triculation, laboratory and medical fees are the
only required expenditures for attendance.
Board and lodging can be had at very rea-
sonable figures, compared with the charges for
like accommodations at similar institutions in
the University’s class. Splendid dormitories, en-
tirely fire-proof, provide accommodations for
hundreds of girls. ,
The faculty of the University has many men
who have achieved national reputation in their
subjects, and attract students from afar because
of their distinction.
It is said at the Registrar’s office, that pros-
pects now indicate an enrollment in September
of over 5,000 students for the main session in
Austin.

ST. MARY’S ACADEMY
Right in the heart of the City of Austin, one
block from Congress Avenue, St. Mary’s Acad-
emy is said to be the oldest educational institu-
tion in the City of Austin. Its present site was
purchased in 1882. Before that the school was
conducted in other buildings. It numbers among
its alumnae many of the prominent women of the
State.
ST. EDWARD’S COLLEGE
On a high hill overlooking the city from the
south stand the buildings of St. Edward’s Col-
lege—“The Notre Dame of the Southwest.” This
is one of the best boys’ colleges in Texas, and
many of its former students have made national
reputations in different activities of life. It is
located some three miles from the city, but easily
accessible by bus—a splendid school for the
training of Texas youth.

The past decade has witnessed an increase of
over 150 per cent in the size of the student body
of the University. Last year 4200 registered dur-
ing the long session. The summer session was
attended by over 3000, making a total of 7200 in
Austin during the year.
The building program of the University has
not kept pace with the increase in attendance,
but prospects bid fair to remedy this evil in the
near future. Beginning this month, a new
Biology building is being constructed, which will
somewhat relieve the congestion growing out of
the scarcity of class rooms.
The reputation of the University of Texas
has been largely responsible for the unaparal-
leled growth in attendance. Soundness of ideals
