MISS FLORENCE HALE,
PORTLAND, ADDRESSES
PARENT-TEACHER ASSN

The Parent-Teacher Association meet
ing Tuesday night was quite we'll at
tended in spite of the fact that the at
traction at City hall drew heavily from
the crowd that usually attends these
gatherings, but those who stayed away
missed something. while those who at
tended went home with the deep-seated
conviction that they had learned many
truths relating to the connection between
the schools and the association.
Miss Florence NJ. Hale Of Portland one
of the most energetic and widely-known
school workers of this State, was the
speaker Of the evening and she held the
attention of her audience from the start.
| Suggestions as to increasing the etfi-
cheney of the association, the appoint
ment of committees to get all parents in
! terested in the work and to attend the
meetings with the same degree of regu-
! larity shown in the case of social func-
tons and events, the belief that the as
ISOLATION should employ itself with con-
structive things instead of interfering
with and criticizing the work Of the
schoos-these were the topics which Miss
| Hale presented
| During the course of her address Miss
! Hale read poems, "The House by tie
Side of the Road and THE Mother" DC.
ing two fine ones which served wei to
drive home the point concerning which
she was speaking. At the close of her
address DR. W. S. Thompson, presiding
officer, spoke of the reforms in arith-
. metic by Supt. of Schools Stuart and
stated that he heartily approved these
changes and was glad for the boys and
girls who will not have to learn the use
less things which will be abolished He
thanked Miss Hale for her address in
behalf Of the association and the meet
/ ing was adjourned.

KNOWS that she is paying the

We find the records and books in
al the above mentioned Offices in
good condition and neatly and prop
eriy kept, except in the Tax Collect
or's ofiee-the tax receipts made out
for this years taxes had been serat-
ched on account Of change in she
levy made by the Commissioners, this
causes very unsttrActive receipt
however, this could not be- avoided
| without big expense to the county
! as the receipts had all been made out
prior to the change in the levy. We
therefore recommend the tax collect
or for making the change on the re-
ceipt rather than make out new one.
We especially want to recommend
our present Sheriff to the tax payers,
that he has cnplete record to show
in his sales On his books the dispo-
sition OF each case, and the disburse-
| ment of cash in detail, where paid
and to whom paid.
We also desire to make special
| mention of Justice of the Peace, T.

not gotten into the habit of settling
cost in any case, and also that his
records are kept in neat and salts
factory manner, and all books and
executions and execution dockets SO
numbered that it is easy to trace any
record
We beg to make the following rec
concentrations:
First-We recommend that such
books actually needed in the Ordi-
nary's Office be paid for by the couu-
ty commissioners.
Second-On account of extremely
high cost of provisions, we recon-
mend that the commissioners allow

are high.

FRENCH PRESS
GERMANS BACK
OVER 8. MILES
NEAR SCISSORS


New York, October 23.-What may
prove TO be an operation of 6sss-rate
importance was initiated by General
Petain early today in the Aisne re-
gion northeast of SCISSORS.
Along front of approximately }
miles the French infantry dashed for
ward. attacking the salient in the
German line which curves about i4s
southwestern keystone, the fortress
of Laon.
Fort De La Malmaison, the Ger
man stronghold which baffled the
French in last springs attacks, bar
ring their way to the westerly end OF
the Chemin des Danes. is apparently
one OF the immediate detectives of the
big offensive. For days past the big
French guns have been hammering
this front heavily, both the Paris and
Berlin reports indicating that some
major movement was in preparation.
Good Progress for the French
Good progress was reported today
by General Petain, the French forcing
their way forward along the whole
front Of the attack.
The taking of Fort De La Malmai-
son would materially aid in the push
ing Of an attack on Laon, in an at
tempt to turn the German line in this
region, although it has been consider
ed probable that the main blow in
such an attack would be struck fur
Their to the east, where the back door
road to Loan offers superior tactical
advantages.
-, Virtually all the ground gained in
yesterdays offensive in Flanders has
been retained by the entente forces.
AT only one point in the southern part
OF outho!st wood were the Germans
able to regain any ground in counter
attacks, and here it was only single
British post that was pushed back
short distance. The ground won was
consolidated along the remainder OF
the front
Russians Balk Germans Landing
On the eastern front the attempted
German operations on the Esthoniar
MAINLAND aorth OF the Gulf OF Riga
apparently have not progressed as ia
vorsbly as the naval prelude and the
fighting for possession of the oualy-
ing islands.
