BRONXVILLE, N.Y. Pop 3055 (1920} 6387 (1930).
N.Y.C.R.R. Motor Route 22 from Mt. Vernon.
Bronxville, reached from the city by the Bronx River Parkway, has had notable development. Formerly given over to large estates, today apartment houses are numerous near the center. Former Supt. Beatty made the public school system as well known for its progressive methods as has Washburne at Winnetka. The Brantwood Hall houses are on a hillside near the center, the Country Day School in Lawrence Park West. Sarah Lawrence, now a standard four year college, opened in 1928 in a section of elaborate estates.

Patterned after the New England schools of the nineties, Brantwood Hall is in sharp contrast to the modernity of the neighborhood. Under the close and very personal supervision of Miss Maine, the girls lead a quiet life with considerable latitude in the selection of courses, though college preparation is available.
