GILES WILL CONDUCT
TEACHERS MEETINGS
OF RICHMOND CORPS

Changes in the policy Of the admin
istration OF the affairs OF the high
school aud the city schools. viii be
made next year. according to state
ments OF Principal F. G. Pickell and
Superintendent Giles today. While
these changes will not be revolution
airy or radical In character. yet they
will be noticeable to the students and
teachers
One of these changes. said Mr. Giles.
will be the setting aside OF one Satur-
day in each month for the holding Of
the city teachers institute In compli-
ance with . law passed by the state
legislature The township teachers In
the past have been meeting one day
each month but the city teachers.
while they held their regular grade
meetings in the late afternoons OF
school days. yet they have never as
sembled monthly for institute meet
ings. The institute for the city teach
ers next year will probably be held in
connection with the township teach
ers institute.
Neither Mr.. Giles nor Mr.. Picken
cared to make public the changes they
have considered and decided upon. Mi
Pickell explained that he preferred 70
wait until after the changes had been
put In operation. The changes will
deal for the most part with minor sub
jects, the improvement Of which were
deemed advisable during the last term
OF school.

AUSTRIANS ST|fFEN
DEFENSIVE TACTICS

ROME, June 2.-Austrian resistance
against the advance of Italian armies
in Trent and lstria has begun to stiff
en- as the invaders draw near to the
positions which the Austrians have
fortified for their most stubborn stand.
Unfavorable weather conditions still
prevail in the Tyrolese Alps, with
transforms and thick fogs. The Ital-
ians have begun to lombard the de.
tense OF Rovereto, only thirteen miles
from Trent.
In the Adige valley severe artill'
cry duel is in progress. The Italian
army which advanced through the Am
pezzo valley, occupying thirty-seven
towns, has established it's base at Cor
tina, for a movement toward Trent
from the northwest.
Between Gradisca and Monfalcone
stubborn fighting is in progress. The
Italian army, which crossed the 1sonzo
river and attempted to drive toward
Trieste on the shore of the Gulf of
Trieste, ran into a strong line Of for
tifications. The Austrian land posi-
tions are being bombarded by Italian
warships which entered the bay of
Panzona.
