Academy of Science.

The Academy of Science yesterday spent
some time in considering the complaint of
a portion of the general public that has at
tended it's meetings that the papers are
entirely too technical to be of any interest
to any but those directly concerned in the
branch of work under discussion. 1t was
the opinion of many of the members that
the papers were even too technical to be
understood by most of those present who
are engaged in scientific work, but of a
character different from the subject Of any
particular paper. After considerable dis
cussion it was decided to request all per-
sons who prepare papers in the future to
use terms that can be easily understood by
persons ordinarily versed In scientific mat
ters The meeting adjourned before noon,
having completed the programme. The fol-
lowing officers were elected: President, &.
A Waldo, of Purdue University; vice preSi-
dent c. H. Eigenmann, of Indiana Cniver-
sity: secretary, John S. Wright of Indian
apolis; assistant secretary, A. j. Bigney, Of
Moore's Hill College. treasurer. DR.. j. I.

TRAFFIC ACROSS THE RIVER.
A Wide Bridge VIII soon BE Needed
at Washington Street.

George IT. Evans, proprietor Of the big
flour mills on West Washington street, near
White river, called on the Board of Pub
lie Works yesterday morning to protest
against the removal of the old wooden
bridge. Mr. Evans informed the board that
it was needed for the traffic across the riv-
er. as the new iron bridge is inadequate st
times owing to the presence of street-car
tracks NJ A. Downing, president of the
board, informed Mr. Evans that the board
thinks it will ultimately be necessary to
replace both the iron and wooden bridges
with one large bridge sufficient to- carry
more traffic than both now do. On the west
side of the river the mouths of the two
bridges meet On the east side they are
far apart. as the old wooden bridge points
time the city ought 10 open the entire tri-
angle between the old National road and
washington street, combining the entire
ground in one wide roadway. This would
necessitate the erection sof a bridge or great
width with room for double tracks III the
center and wide roadways on either SIDE
for vehicle travel
That's Just what we want" said Mr. Ev-
ans after his plan was presented. All his
desire to see the old bridge repaired gave
way to the better plan.
In a few days the board will receive prop
ositions for the repair of the old bridge.
Mr. Montgomery, of the board. said that
modern engineers and bridge builders do
not want TO have anything to do with IT,
but an out-of-town bridge builder of the
last generation wants TO make a PROPOSE
fiOE.

REMOVAL OF HEADQUARTERS.
property Owners Ask Another Site for
the FirehOuse.

a number of prominent citizens living in
the vicinity of Massachusetts avenue and
Delaware street have presented a lengthy
petition to the Board of Public Safety, asking
the abolition of the headquarters of the fire
department on Massachusetts, avenue They
regard the firehouse as being a nuisance on
such an important thoroughfare. and sug-
gest that it be established on one of the
cross streets. They assert that the property
IS far too valuable for fire department pur-
poses, and that if it were sold enough would
be realized to buy other real estate, build
fine house and leave considerable margin
IN the city's treasury. In their opinion, the
presence of q firehouse depreciates adjacent
property as much or more than a school
house would, as it renders street traffic I'M
certain, endangering pedestrians and vehicle
travel.
The petition is signed by S. r. and w. w

John H. Holiday, trustee, r. N Spann,
John NJ. Kitchen. Henry Nicolaf, Louisa A.

Mention is made In the petition OF the fact
that Information as to the unsafe condition
of thz present headquarters building has
been published. together with the statement
that larger house is contemplated. III any
change IS made, the petitioners think the
building should be removed TO another Site

the members that the first game of the

assembled to see the contest. The scores
were as follows:

Montgomery, Of the board, informed him
that nothing definite had been decided by
the board and that statements published
were premature. I'VE intend to have a
conference on that subject in a few days."
said Mr.. Montgomery.
City Engineer Jeup has been overrun by
persons inuuiring whether rerrai1 streets
named in published lists were to be i'm
proved. The reports have been sufficient
to start TIE friends of improvements out
with petitions while those opposed are busy
circulating remonstrances. As a matter OF
fact. such efforts, with the exception of the
petitions are unavailing The board would
regard petitions as indicating desire for
improvements. There is no necessity fer
circulating remonstrances until the board
has decided at its coming conference what
streets are to be improved.
Bellefontaine-Str property owners who
were misled by reports circulated, held
mass meeting to protest against the isp-
proyement of that street, and appointed
macher to visit the Board of Tubiic Works
for the purpose of demonstrating.

The regular programme of papers was
short and soon completed. The papers
formed symposium on the subject: 1.-THE
Equipment of the Teacher" The first was
by ID. Il. Power, superintendent of the
Paoli schools. He held scholarship to be
very necessary qualification in the teach
er, but said that the knowledge of peda-
gogy was also as essential anything, if
success were to be attained. Mrs. Emma
Mont McRae, of Purdue, spoke of Self
preparation" She thought the teacher
should take advantage of everything that
occurs in school life and draw from it a
lesson for the future. d. M. Geeting spoke
along the same lines, holding that the trials
that come up in the everyday life of the
teacher are his best means of combating
the puzzles of the future.
The child study section of the Teachers
Association, which was organized last year,
failed to materialize this year. A pro-
