HIGH SCHOOL SCIENCE TEACH.
ERS MEET

The teachers of sciences in the
Cecil County high schools are engag-
ed in a series of conferences relative
to the improvement of their work
At recent meetings there was devel-
oped a statement of the general pur-
poses of the teaching of science in
our high schools. The purposes"
subject to criticism by the Supervisor
of High Schools, are as follows:
/. Building up and understanding
general ideas about our environment
2. Development of the pupils abil-
ity to think.
8. Changes in the actions of the
pupils.
4. Development of definite atti-
tudes, interests, and appropriations.
S. Enriching the pupils outlook
on life.
The newest project of the group is
a reorganization of the teaching OF
General Science with a view to intro
ducing an advanced course in the
subject. This new course would be
offered in the third or fourth year to
pupils who are working for diploma
in the General Course.
There is a possibility that these
meetings will lead to a permanent
organization of the Cecil County
science teachers for the mutual bene-
fit of the members.

Greatest Circus Is Com

Dazzling Introductory Spectacle.
One of Host of New World Ac-
claimed Features of Ring
ling Bros. and Barnum
& Bailey Organization

& Bailey Organization
The worlds mightiest amusement
enterprise on tour-the Ringing
Bros. and Barnum & Bailey combined
circus-with its 1897 seven-ring-and-
stage program, star studded and lib
orally interspersed with new thrillers
from Europe and Asia, featuring
among its array of new wonders the
most gorgeous Introductory spectac-
lie in it's brilliant history, India, is
definitely scheduled to exhibit in
Baltimore, May 20-21.
India is not just another circus
spectacle. 1t is not merely glitter
ing parade to open the Big Show per-
formances. 1t is the result of a
years planning, a really staggering
expenditure and much research on
the part of Sam w. Gumpertz, gen.
eral manager of The Greatest Show
on Earth. Costly fabrics were pur-
chased in car load lots. Color
schemes blend in lovely perspectives.
Every one of the two thousand peo-
pie and animals taking part wears a
small fortune on his or its back. All
have towering headdresses of ex-
quisite beauty. One group of ITO
horses, with girl riders, is like moth
ing ever before offered, for the hors-
es, wearing medieval bejeweled blan-
kets of velvet, carry gorgeous cano-
pies over the girls heads. India is
torrent of color and flashing jew
els, flowing over the hippodrome
track and the seven rings and stages.
1t is the last word in pageantry.
In aerial and equestrian displays
The Greatest Show on Earth has out
done itself this year, while the
ground acrobatic numbers are the
largest and finest ever presented in
any land or age.
The Ringing Bros. and Barnum &
Bailey combined circus will arrive on
four long trains of 100 double-length
steel railroad cars, carrying 1900
people, 1909 menagerie animals, Z
herds of elephants and 700 horses.
