during the past ten years. In addition
to this display, there will be conducted
in this building demonstrations of how
the schools teach French, Spanish and
German with the aid of the Edison
Standard monograph. This system of
teaching the foreign languages is de-
cidedly one of the most remarkable de-
relopments of the Twentieth century.
While the attempt has been made to
teach modern foreign languages by the
aid of the graphophone, the system
or the International Correspondence
schools Is so perfect that 1t has been
endorsed by authorities in all parts Of
the United States and Canada. Dur
ing the stay of the Knight Templars in
Scranton, these demonstrations will be
held, and the visitors are cordially in
vited to attend and see for themselves
how 1t is possible to learn to speak
French, Spanish and German corr
rectly without the expense Of per-
sonal teacher. .'--- - " I

CONCLAVE NOTES
and COMMENTS

What is doubtless the prettiest, most
artistic and incidentally the most eX-
pensive souvenir publication ever issued
in Scranton is the souvenir programme

to their guests. 1t is in book shape of
a size that will snugly fit in a coat
pocket, contains seventy-five pages of
heavy calendered paper and is enclosed
in an illumined cover, on the front page
of which is beautifully designed repre-
sentation body of Templars emerg-
Ing from castle to greet a band of
pilgrims. A sunburst forms a back
ground for the Templar motto. In
Hoe Signo Vinces," inscribed beneath a
passion cross.
On the first page following the fly
leaf in red and black old English tyne
appears the following greeting: TO We

or Scranton be peace, Il moste gracious

prominence adorn the front pages. The

OF the local communicates and infor-
nation concerning the grand command
