TO START WORK
ON NEW ST. LUKE'S SCHOOL SOON
SUBURBAN NEWS
AND HERALD 1926
The parish of St.
Luke's Catholic Church announces that plans for a new school are in the hands
of the city building department for checking this week, before actual
construction begins.
The new school,
which will be located on Clifton Boulevard between Chase avenue and Bunts road,
was designed by William Koehl, architect, 1720 Euclid ave. It will be 83
x63 feet, two stories high, and contain four class rooms and a center corridor
on each floor.
Construction will
of brick, with a hip slate roof. Arched windows, the full two-stories in
height, will be between pilasters of brick, and the front entrance is extended
higher than the roof, and capped by a cross.
The interior finish
will be oak, with maple flooring. Corridors will have terrazzo floor and
base, and cement wainscotting. Stairs are of iron, with terrazzo treads.
The class rooms are
approximately 34x23 feet and provide for forty pupils in each.
Provision is made
in the architect's sketch for a future addition, at the rear, and a future
church to be located east of the school.
"The
school comes as a result of a definite need," stated Rev. Heffernan, the
pastor. "We have been working on the plans for some time and expect
to have a school which will meet our requirements for the present."

SMITH BUSINESS
COLLEGE
LAKEWOOD PRESS
-- Mazrch 7, 1918, Pg. 20
Realizing the
growing and insistent demand of the business world today for more competent
stenographers, for those better trained and with higher qualifications; also
how poorly equipped the average stenographer is for facing the world and
obtaining a first-class position, after graduating -- when they have been
rushed through the principles in such large numbers without due consideration,
no cognizance having been taken of their individual needs, and realizing, too,
the great need of an exclusive shorthand school -- the Smith School of
Shorthand and Bookkeeping, located near Highland and Detroit Avenues, is
prepared to meet the individual need of each and every pupil and to personally
supervise their studies.
The old reliable
Graham phonography is taught, which is the system universally adopted by
reporters and experts throughout the country.
Mr. C.H. Smith, who
will be assisted by Mrs. Smith, has had a wide experience in secretarial and
reporting work, and is also a graduate of the "Success" School of
Chicago. Mrs. Smith is a graduate of Bryand and Stratton's Business
College of Buffalo, where she was engaged in teaching for many years. Mr.
and Mrs. Smith are both eminently qualified to teach the art of shorthand to
any one desiring to specialize along commercial, legal, secretarial and
reporting lines.
The
Smith School of Shorthand cordially invites parents who are interested in
having their sons and daughters educated for commercial positions to call so
that they may go into the matter in detail.

ARTS AND CRAFTS
MOZART COLLEGE
LAKEWOOD PRESS
-- March 7, 1918, Pg. 19
About a year ago
Mr. A.C. Ruoff, realizing the demand for instrumental music, and especially
violin and piano, opened the Mozart College of Music in the Studio Building,
11812 Detroit Avenue.
Almost at once the
college became popular and his teaching was such that students became
proficient in an incredible short time. Mr. Ruoff also has a studio at
West 25th Street and Clark, as well as at 187 East 185th Street, where the same
branches are taught.
Although individual
lessons are given, the specialty of the Mozart school is class work, which
Professor Ruoff says is recommended to be the best, all things
considered. The Mozart School of Music now has many pupils and they are
about equally divided between piano and violin.
It
is quite a compliment to Professor Ruoff when it is understood that
notwithstanding the comparatively short time since the establishment of this
school, to note the place taken by the Mozart School in musical circles in not
only Lakewood and Cleveland, but in communities far removed from these
places. Many inquiries are coming in by mail, and students are enrolling
from a distance frequently.

the "Hanna Cottage."
