AN EFFECTIVE METHOD.
Practical knowledge of French in
Five Weeks.

Professor j. $. Salter gave his first
lecture on French yesterday in ST.
Lukes parish hall.
At both afternoon and evening lee
lures interested audiences were in at
tendance. The professor gave a prac-
tical demonstration of his method and
while he spoke entirely in French every
listener understood him. BY means Of
IA blackboard and by gestures he con-
veyed every shade of meaning and in
this one lecture gave "a real knowledge
of more French than home study would
afford in month His method is unique
and effective.
It Will be remembered that he gave
n course of lessons previous to Christ
mas which was 80 satisfactory to his
pupils that they urged him to give an
other course in advanced study. The
present lessons are for students in early
lessons. No home work is required by
his method, one hour each day being
consumed in the lessons. The average
Americans French leaves much to be
desired. He may be able to read 1t and
to understand it to some degree, but
he is afflicted with much timidity when
it comes to his own speech. He Is not
altogether confident about his own ac-
cent. 1t is therefore privilege TO hear
perfect French spoken every day. The
cultivation of the ear is what is most
needed.
Professor Salter is proficient in Eng
lish as he is a native of America and
therefore comprehends more complete
ly the difficulties which confront the
English speaking student in the French
language. Consequently in these
classes at the first lesson Professor Sal
ter's pupils begin to speak French with
comprehension. He makes the lessons
extremely interesting. All sorts of top
les come up in the class and all the
subjects which are likely to be dis
cussed in every day life. In five weeks
he guarantees practical knowledge of
French which will enable his pupils to
travel abroad without an interpreter.
The first lessons will be given on
Friday at o'clock and will be free to
all interested. There will also be
lesson at 8 p. IN. at which all are well
come. There will be free demonstra-
tions today at and s p. m. in st.

The Good Roads bill seems likely of
failure IN Congress. It was proposed
to expend $1OO,o00,00o in establishing
better roads throughout the rural dis
tricts. This measure would be Of meal
culable benefit to the agricultural COM
munities. If once started, the work
would continue from year to year until
the whole country would be net-worked
with good, substantial highways, which
would not only increase the carrying Ca
pacity Of millions of teams, but would
save the loss incident to the wear and
tear on vehicles, due to bad roads. This
item alone amounts annually to millions
of dollars to the farmers of this country.
It is believed by many that portion OF
the gigantic treasury surplus should be
expended in this work for the national
well being: However, a majority of our
congressman seem to feel that some of
their pet measures will fall through if
this work is undertaken and the lndica-
ticns are that they will ''smother" :his
effort which is being made TO secure
national assistance for 4 good cause.

there is every indication that the rail-

it is SAID they discussed preparing q
statement to the public, outlining the
situation, and telling frankly that there
was little hope that the state could bring
any action that would prevent the NOR
ger. Gen. Douglas is said to have urged
that such statement be- prepared, but

The Review once more calls attention
to the observance of Arbor Day. It has
been given as sort of holiday to the
schools that they may use the time in.
planting trees. It is str1kingly notlcea-
BILE throughout the country that many Of
the school houses have no trees or shrub
berv of any kind about them. If each
of the eighty one districts in the county
would plant six trees that would be 486
trees. Ten years from now that would
mean quite forest. The value of trees
to this country will not be appreciated
until the time comes when the forests
will all be gone. Arbor day was given
for purpose. Let it be observed.
