Ins.rnction i'm German.

By reference to the advertisement in anoth-
or column it will be seen that Prof. Oscar
Faulhaber, now and for many years connected
with Phillips Academy, Exeter, will give in
struction in German to classes in this city,
commencing Friday, October 31st. His pres
ence in Portland offers a rare opportunity to
students in German to perfect themselves in
that language under teacher, who takes high
rank as exponent of the "Sauveur method
of instruction" OF the merit, of that system
those who have tried it bear ample testimony.
Compared with the old method it is like tray
cling by steam cars instead of by stage coach.
1t IS .he easy method because it is the natural
method, and underneath it all lies sound
philosophy. which as applied to educational
problems has been bearing rich fruit in many
directions during the last twenty years. No
one but teacher of marked versatility and
accomplishments can do much with the "Sau-
wear method" Prof. Faulhaber has demon
strated his ability in this direction and comes
with the prestige of many years successful
teaching in some of the best schools of the
country. We should consider it great ad-
vantage to our city if his services could be per-
manently secured here.

firm felt their only course was to stop. They
are not able to give statement of their liabili-

thought the liabilities would probably range
from $4,000 to $25 900. while the assets would
probably be small. Apart from Mr.. Char.
