WAR IN EUROPE
(Continued from Page One)
bitter fighting, was covered with |
water holes.
Istanbul, Oct. 18. ? General
Maxime Weygand. commander-in
chief of French forces in the East
ern Mediterranean, arrived here |
today, giving support to reports :
that Turkey would sign mutual
assistance pacts with Britain, and i
France within a day or two. i
Reports were current that the
72-year-old World War hero and j
former commander of the French
army would sign on behalf of his
government and then?confer with
Turkish army chiefs regarding
the common military defense
plans. ^
Competent circles said they be
lieved the British-Turkish pact
would be signed at the same
time.
Franz Von Papen, former Ger- !
man Chancellor and now German
ambassador to Turkey, arrived
here from Ankara en route to Ber
lin, where he was said to have
bean summoned by his govern
ment.
Turkey coupled her diplomatic ,
activity with intensified military
measures. A number of heavy
duty (rucks and other large ve
hicles were requisitioned. Chauf- i
feurs and mechanics not yet con
nected with army reserve units
were urged to join.
The new precautions were con- :
sidered in foreign circles as evi
dence that Turkey was working
steadily toward a condition of
complete preparedness for an
emergency.
Franklin County
Teachers Meet
The teachers of Franklin Coun- 1
ty assembled in the auditorium of
Mills High School at 2 o'clock on
Wednesday afternoon, Oct. 18th.
Miss Lillie Harper, newly-elected
President, presiding.
In this their second meeting of
this term the teachers were for
tunate in having as speakers. Dr.
J, Henry Highsmith, State Super
visor of Secondary Education, and
Mrs. ? . ? . Douglas,
Dr. Highsmith spoke about
"Evaluating the Schools", espec
ially the high schools. Among the
factors that he especially stressed
were that in evaluating his school, !
| the principal and his teachers
should check the school by means
of certain criteria? being perfect
ly frank to admit the weak points
as well as the good ones; then to
decide on the improvements to be
made and the best way of mak
ing them. In applying this cri
teria Dr. Highsmith said that It
must be remembered that there
is a qualitative element to be con
sidered as well as a quantitative
one and that the qualitative ele
ment needs more- emphasis placed
upon It.
Three topics were suggested for
professional study for this year
as of particular .importance: (1)
Each teacher's philosophy of ed
ucation; (2)TOutcotnes of this
| education; (3) Pupil participation
in various activities.
Mrs. Douglas gave the teachers
some interesting and valuable in
formation about libraries, saying
that too much emphasis hereto
fore has been put on books. Of
course that is important but oth
er factors that need more empha
sis are: a good place for the li
brary. and it having a definite
place in the program of the
school; interested teachers; ami
interested pupils. A library's
usefulness not only along the line
of furnishing stories for pleasure,
but in furnishing reference ma
terial, etc., is the end and aim of
it's existence.
Superintendent Mills, 'who pre
sented Dr. Highsmith, prepared
the way for the talks which fol
lowed and stated that he hoped
the teachers would find these!
meetings an inspiration and of
definite aid to th^m in progress
ing so far as doing a better Job
everyday is concerned.
Minutes of the last meeting
were read by the secretary, and
prayer was offered by Supt. M. T.
Lamm.
The meeting was adjourned
Immediately after the talk by Mrs.
Douglas.
