She told of the plan of the work last Spring and how the cards were executed by all the pupils in her Latin classes regardless of standing or class ability. She said some of theb est were done by schol ars who were not at all brilliant in their recitations or distinguished by high marks. The cards show the Influence of Latin in modern language and of classical thought on modern archi tecture, art and industry, and they draw a parallel between ancient times and the present day regarding ques tions of political graft, woman suffrage and \v»r. Twenty-five of the cards are illustrations of a trip through Rome. Tills War anil Another As a part of Miss McNiff's program .Dr Walter Dennison, of Swarthmore College, gave an illustrated talk on "How Caesar's Battlefields in France Look To-day." He compared the pres ent war with the Roman campaign in defense of the old French or Gallic peoples against the Teutons from the north. Ills pictures showed ancient trenches of Caesar that can still be seen on the battlefields in the north of France in the neighborhood of Rheims and the River Aisne, names which have become familiar during the present war. Miss Anna Petty, of the Allegheny high school, Pittsburgh, spoke on "The Teacher of the Classics and Modern Educational Tendencies," emphasizing the need of the classically educated teacher's getting away from the doc trine of formal discipline and adjust ing himself to practical modern things. She talked from her personal experi ence, advocating thirty pupils as the ideal number in a class and the teach ing of first-year Latin exclusively by class instruction without the use of textbooks. She said Latin should not be forced on a pupil, but should be a matter of election, and that the prog ress of any study should be the natural growth of the student's abilities and not the following of a program arbi trarily set by the teacher. ShainlMiiigh a Speaker Professor F. E. Shambaugh, super intendent of Dauphin county schools, spoke before the meeting of county superintendents on "Standards In the Recitation." His paper was a prac tical talk based on his personal experi ence In supervision, stating the need of efficiency with modern standards In education. He said teachers should look on the real busy life otitslde for subject matter and methods to use in the schoolroom. He discussed stand ards of motives, the consideration of values by pupils, attention to organ ization by the pupil and of Initiative and leadership development. Dr. W. C. Bagley, professor of edu cation of the University of Illinois, s.poke on "Discipline" at the meetings of both the city and county superin tendents and graded schools. He said that every well-directed school should hvae good order, respect for au thority and a spirit of aggressive in dustry, and these principles should be so instilled into the pupils that they become fashions. Short addresses were made at all the sectional meetings by men who are authorities in their respective subjects. Discussions by the members Interested followed.

COUNCIL FIXES II MILLS IS TIX RITE Mayor Just Can't See How It's Go ing to Be Done; Votes "Aye" City Council this aftornon formally fixed the 1915 tax levy at nine mills, a reduction of half a mill, and passed finally the budget ordinance provid ing for an expenditure of $552,182.73. Mayor Royal objected to half mill rate reduction because, as he said, lie "cannot see where the necessary rev enues are to come from." When the roll was called, however, the Mayor voted along with the other | four Commissioners. "Well," said he, "I'll vote 'aye' on the estimated revenues for the year ot ; $580,000 submitted by Mr. Gorgas, but j 1 don't believe it will reach." j The Mayor took the position that I the half mill decrease Is not due to ,tlie operation of the city government under the Clark act. He didn't want the public to misunderstand, he said. Messrs. Bowman, Lynch and Tay lor explained that they based their calculations providing for a reduction of a half mill in the tax levy on the estimated receipts of $580,000 as given by Mr. Gorgas. in 1913, Mr. Lynch explained, $529,000 had been appro priated. The half mill would amount to about $24,000. With these figures In mind Mr. Lynch explained how the cut could readily be made—and that Council could still keep within Its ap propriation requirements at nine mills. The Mayor explained that he is looking ahead—to next A'ear. Under the circumstances, he said, he doesn't see how the city can make ends meet on a nine and a half mill basis and that he questioned whether or not ten mills wouldn't be necessary. "Even If this Is necessary," pointed lout Mr. Taylor, "the people have a I right to a nine mill rate this year." I "Of course, our figurlngA' was Mr. Dynch's final observation, "we took Mr. Gorgas' estimate of $580,000. Isn't this so. Mr. Gorgas?" "Yes—provided I'm right," returned Mr. Gorgas. "However, I think the mlllage can be cut down to nine, but I may be wrong." MISTED iDM ITS DIM VICTORY Reversal Puts an End to Threat ened Austro-German At tack in East By Associated Press London, Dec. 29. —British observ ers of the progress of the war point this morning to the admission in the Austrian official announcements that Russia is once more master of the passes in the Carpathian mountains, and that the troops along the entire Austrian front from the Biala river to a point northeast of the Dukla Pass seem to be falling back. This means the withdrawal of vir tually all the forces which swept across the mountains to form the extreme right in the concerted Austro- German attack on the Russian armies, and it marks another surprising re versal of form on the part of the Aus trian soldiers, whose battle fortunes since the outbreak of hostilities have been conspicuously erratic.
