At their sessions. President Y. j.

structs the supervisors in the course
of work mapped out for the coming
year, in new courses of study which
have been prepared and like matters.
Notes are compared on the work done
in the various districts. and a general
idea given of the accomplishments in
the field.
Wednesday night an exhibit was
given of the language courses of
which the company is to make a fea-
ture, French. German and Spanish
are taught by Mons. Lamaze, Herr
Palmedo and Senor Lorno. A phonO-
graph and records are supplied each
student. and form an important part
of his accessories to study. BY the
use of these, most thorough lessons
in pronunciation are given and their
value is therefore easily apparent. The
student speaks into the phonograph in
the language he is studying and the
record is then sent on here, where
it's blunders are discovered by the
instructors and corrected.
Eight hundred monographs are TO
be used as a starter by the company.

ter which the entertainment was
