In the year 1876, Prof W. G. Rich

on Latin pronunciation. This article,
which included short history OF the
d methods of pronunciation, descrip
t'v ton and photography Of the Latin OF
Roman method, and list OF the insti
buttons employing the several methods
was published in the annual report o.
this Office for 1876.
&. For some time past the bureau has
been receiving inquiries concerning
the extent to which the several meth

OF this country. In order that tl,es

#t.i#t "a In answer to this letter replies were
, received from 402 universities and col
.Tad5 apleges From these replies we learn
t..ia the following: 200 institutions use
- the Roman or Latin method, SO insti.

swers.
IS. Comparing the answers received ia
1892 with those received in 1876 We
find that great many changes have
taken place in that time, the large
majority being toward the Roman
81 method. Thus we find that 81 insti-
d asa3 tutions have changed from English
81 ~ sljto Roman, 32 institutions have changed
aetal from Continental to Roman, 3 institu.
n lions have changed from Roman to
rs English, 4 institutions have changed

3e odv iIa Three colleges in Connecticut, in
nas vmcluding Yale, use the Roman. In
Ola 1876 two OF these used the English,
but have changed.
Pee OF ten colleges reporting from Mas
sachusetts, eight. including Harvard.
use the Roman two the Continental
very nearly the same as the Roman.
Often institutionsin North arolina,
.,a..,t nine, including the University Of
.nea North Carolina, use the Roman; one
the Continental none the English.
OF seven institutions in Virginia, in
s., Guiding the University of Virginia, all
e use the Roman. '71
The report contains many brief let
81 ters giving reasons for the changes
tr which have been made. These figures
very clearly indicate the trend OF the
practice Of our best educators. Can
Johnson City schools afford to depart
from a practice which is RAPIDLY be
coming so nearly universal in thin
country and ia England? 81

DenunciatiOn of the Brutal Massacre
of Armenian Christians.

Stirring Speeches Made and Resolutions
Acknowledgements Greenha1ge Among
the Speakers-Powers of Europe Called
Upon to Interfere.
Boston, Mass, Novem ber 26-A mass
meeting to protest against the Turkish
outrages against the Armenians was
held in Faneuil Hall tonight, under the
a uspices of the United friends of Ar
menia." The attendance was much larg-
er than had been hoped for, and the au-
dience was made up of men and women
of all nationalities, and more enthusi
astic gathering is seldom seen. Rev.S.
J. Barrows presided. Mrs. Julia Ward
Howe, president of the society named
above, said that she threw down the
glove to the Turk and invoked the high
er powers of humanity against the cru
city of the brute. DR.. Blackwell read
several letters from Americans at pres
en5 in Turkey, ali OF which depicted
the deplorable state of affairs. Govern
or Greenhalge was warmly greeted, and
made an able defence of the right Of the
American people and government to
raise their volces against oppression,
where ever it was found. Is
Speeches were made by Colonel Albert
Clarke, Rev. Francis Tiffany and others,
and the following resolutions were
adopted:
whereas, Telegraphic dispatches in
the daily press and confirmed by pri-
vate letters from Armenia, report a
frightful massacre of thousands of un-
armed Armenian Christians, including
women and children, by the Turks, un--
der the command of the governor OF
Bitlis; and,
Whereas, It was the report of an Amer
ican commission of enquiry that first
convinced MIR. Gladstone of the truth of
the Bulgarian atrocities;
Therefore, we, American citizens, as
sem mbled in Faneuil Hall, do earnestly
petition His Excellency, Grover Cleve-
land, to investigate this matter, either
by sending to the spot such representa-
tive as he may see fit, or by joining in =
commission sent by the united European
powers.
: We protest against any investigating
ommittee appointed by the Sultan as
wholly untrustw orthy, and we believe it
to be the dutysof the signauory power to
secure an independent investigation,
that he facts may be spread before the
world, and that the wrongs of a suffer-
ing people be known to all nations.
We also appeal to the signatory pow
ers for the immediate enforcement of
the 61st article of the treaty of Berlin,
'nasmuch as the reforms i'll the Arme-
nian provinces, guaranteed by the said
treaty, have never been carried out.
Resolved, That copy of these resolu-
tions be sent to the various powers of
Europe.

some cause he has seemed to be discour-
aged. Bert was about % years of age.
Mr.. Bradford, the father of the suicide,
is one of Turner's most. successful mer-
chants, and has been town treasurer for
several wears. He and his family have
the deep sympathy of the entire COM
