SCHOLARS TO SPEAK
IN GREEK AND LATIN
Classical Teachers Convention
at Rochester VIII Also
Hear Ex.President Taft.

ROCHESTER, Nov. 17.-This city Will
probably see during Thanksgiving week
the largest gathering % teachers OF
classics ever held In this state. The
Classical Association Of New York state.
an organization recently formed by the
union OF severai societies, will hold It's
first annual meeting here. and :he gen.
era, programme will last two days. No
vember % and "a.
Ex.Pres!dent Taft will be one OF the
speakers. His theme will be THE
Classics in American Life" and he Will
deliver his address on November "a.
The programme will begin Tuesday
morning at $50 in Catherine strong
Hall. An interesting innovation has been
introduced into the opening exercises and
the conventional and more or less su-
p~er,uous addresses OF welcome and re-
snon.e have been made a vital part OF
the programme by having them given in
nc ancient languages. This will AFFORD
many Latin and Greek teachers their
frs; opportunity 10 use Greek and Latin
as actual media OF communication.
Or. Mason u. Gray. president OF the
association, says:
..Ne have been seeking TO devise u
new type of classical programme. one
that, while as instructive as the con-
yentional type. should he, az the same
time. far more enjoyable and interesting
I'm itself. While there always will re-
main some place for the formsl PAPER.
IL is an enormous waste of energy TO
bring several hundred teachers hundreds
OF miles to near what they could have
read with equal value. greater comfort
ard less expense in their own homes.
Instead. therefore,, Of having speak
ers discuss methods in an abstract,
| theoretical way. each topic will he pre-
sentcd through "A demonstration class
IN which the speakers will seek to show
how their ideas actually work out IN
the class room. Thus the audience not

MOUSSORGSKY OPERA

Singers in "Boris GOdunOv"
Are From Many Diff

|POLACCO THE CONDUCTOR

Much comment has already been made
on the liberal character OF tho first
weeks repertory at the metropolitan
Opera House. and tho banner OF artist,
neutrality has been waved because one
French. one Russian. two German AMI
two italian operas were on the schedule.
But there were similar doings last sea-
son. when neutrality was younger. II
should have been quite as worthy OF note
that on Monday evening a German
singer gave a serious and enthusiastic
performance of a principal part In \
typical French opera. Last night a
Galician Pole, who mas been a great SUI
ferer from this war. impersonated the
chief part In n Russian opera. Boris

woman In the cast was a German. A
Frenchman. two Americans. an English
woman, a Belgian woman and an Italian
conductor werc concerned In the rcprS.
sentation. and in the audience woe
some German Americans.
The performance OF Boris Godunov'
was In all respects save one similar to
those OF previous seasons. Thc work
was formerly conducted by Mr.. Tos-
%canini. but is now in the hands OF Me-
Polacco. who has conducted It in Russia

In other respects tho opera went Just
as il used TO. The later tempt eemed &c

an abundance OF power in the unfolding
OF Moussorgsky's Respondent tonal crea'
