In permitting a high school pupil
to take two courses in mathematics
at the same time, we never allow the
number of courses taken TO exceed
five. Five is the outside limit as to
number of studies to be taken by any
pupil above the seventh grade. All
the best schools and the best educa-
tors stand together on that point, and
it is so stated in the regulations gov
erning the accredited schools.

THE CITY SCHOOLS.

Sometimes we hear it said that girls
do not like mathematics, but we find
that it is not always so. Several girls
have asked to take two courses of
mathematics while we have the man
to teach them at present employed
for that purpose. 1t is frequently said
that mathematics is the hardest
course. but that does not seem true
when the teacher is enthusiastic and
able.

Labor Unions In Mexico
BY Marion John Atwood.

Strife-torn Mexico is chiefly of in
terest today because of its politica
difficulties-yet it possesses interest
for the student of economic problems
through the recent emergence of labor
unions. Although organized thereto
fore, labor unions in. Mexico were
scarcely heard of prior to 1911 The
inference is at once drawn, and cor
rectly so, that they are the contempt
raries of foreign capitalistic enter
prises. The most prominent labor I'm.
ions are those of the railroad EN-.
ployees, the stevedores- of the port OF
Vera Cruz and the employees of the
cotton factories sof Orizaba and its sub.
urbs-all. of which industries are un-
der foreign control.
The year 1911 should be remember
ed in Mexican history as a most nota-
BILE one in the political and economic
of the country. With the
cessation of the political difficulties,
mems minds turned to a number of
alleged economic abuses. EARLY in
January strike broke out among the
of all transportation com
panies of the western coast. A de-
mand for an increase in wages of so
per cent. and reduction of the hours
of labor met with a determined resist
ance on the part of the employers,
who replaced the "disgruntled" native
laborers with foreigners. This diff
Guilty soon lost itself in the discomfort
arising throughout the country in con-
nection with the political changes.
with the De la Barra govern
ment settled in power and the political
temporarily calmed d, the
country gave itself over to a strike
mania that reached astonishing pro-
portions during the months of July
md August. \
The Mexican Herald, under date of
July 8, 1911, stated: 1.-THE walkouts
nave not been confined to any particu-
ar class of employees; in fact, mo

DAYS DEVELOPMENTS
 IN EUROPEAN WAR

Russia has driven the Austrians from the towns of Tarnow, Jaslow and Krosno, in Galicia, and the Aus trians probably now are retreating toward the Capathian mountains. "The enemy has marched into Tar now, Jaslow and Krosno," says a Vienne dispatch. Petrograd merely announces the taking of Krosno with heavy losses to the Austrian rear guard.
 On the western battle front the al- lies are said to have retaken Dix munde from the Germans. This re- port is unofficial and has not been con- firmed by either Paris or London. Vio- lent fighting in the vicinity of Dix munde and also around Ypres con- tinues. In the western zone both al- lies and Germans make claims to suc- cess at various points. Neither claims decisive victories. The Germans say their marines at Nieuport inflicted heavy losses on the allies, that they captured 700 prisoners, that HOO al- lies were taken captive at Ypres and that heavy casualties were inflicted by lrepulsing attacks around Soissons.
 That big engagements are already in progress or are about to begin in the East all the way from the north ern part of East Prussia to the east ern point of Galicio seems evident from the troops dispositions of the Germans and the Russians. Some bat ties have already taken place on the northeast, where the Germans are making preparations to contest vigor- ously any Russian attempt to gain foothold in East Prussia.
 The Austrians say they have en- tirely cleared their territory of Ser vians.
 4 Turkish report coming by way of Berlin says the Russians are retreat ling all along the entire battle front.
 That huge sums of money will be necessary to prosecute the war is in- dicated by the British governments notification that it will request Par liament to vote credit of $1, ,250,0 ,000,- 900 for expenses up to March 31. The French supplementary credit for the month of November amounts to $182,- 154, 4,504, or a daily average of $6,000,- 900.
