Rome, November 2S-(SpeciaL)-
latest private intelligence from Cettinge

a large majority of the men In the prime
of life fell at the siege of Scutari, and
that when on July Servia called on King
Nicholas to march against Austria every

however, interpreted the existing treaty

THE NATIONAL COUNCIL OF
TEACHERS OF ENGLISH

1t is difficult for those who have not
kept in close touch with the movement
to realize to what proportions the Ma
tional Council of Teachers of English has
grown during the past two years. The
idea of the council was conceived at about
the time of the San Francisco meeting
of the National Education association in
1911. The call for the first meeting was
sent out in November of that year and
an organization effected in Chicago in
December There were about 80 charter
members. Among the numerous societies
of teachers. there was evidently a place
for the National Council of Teachers of
English. The marvellous growth of the
council gives evidence to this fact. In
the interval between it's organization and
its third annual convention 100 persons
have Joined the council. The combined
membership of the affiliating societies
numbers several thousand. Tn all there
are more than 40 state and city associa-
tlons of teachers of English in active cor
iespondence with the national council.
At the recent meeting of the council all
sections of the country except New Eng.
land We're represented. ~ least 625 teach
ers attended the convention. More than
40 persons were assigned places on the
programme. The session was remarkable
for the originality and force of the papers
read. AT various sessions of the council
II committees presented reports.
