German Artificial Clay.
From the Baltimore Sun.

Artificial clay, according to German pa
pers, is receiving increased attention
abroad. This ceramic novelty, which is
used for the manufacture Of artificial stone,
tiles, cutters, etc, is composed of sand,
chalk, cement, liquid glue and petroleum.
The substances are mixed in certain guam
titles and claylike mass results, which
can be formed at pleasure and acquires an
excellent degree of hardness by being sub
jected to heat. This artificial clay can be
employed in a variety of structures: tiles of
different forms and sizes are made of 1t.
They have a perfectly even surface and
sharp edges, are fireproof and resist the
influences of the weather; they furthermore
absorb no moisture. The clay is also used
for the manufacture Of artificial stone in
all colors. Tests with this clay have been
made at the laboratory of the Technical
Experimental Station at Charlottenburg.

Porto Rican Education,

In his address on "Educaton in Porto
Rico Prof. Brumbaueh gave a descrip-
tion of the island, the people and the
method Of government In speaking Of the
schools he said, In part:
The school system has become the pride
and the hope of the people When addi-
tlonal schools are to be opened our onlv
dihculty is the lack Of teachers. To over
come this normal school at Rio Piedras
has been established. This school is the
survival of a farcical school at Fajardo and
the outgroWth of the Summer School at San
Juan. When it was proposed that a ten
weeks summer training school should be
opened during vacation it was freely as
serted by prudent advisers that not more
than one hundred pupils could be secured
OWING to the poverty of the teachers A
circular was issued explaining the school
and appealing to the young men and women
of the island. When the school opened

most magnificent Endorsement of the svs-

men and women asked the commissioner to

English is a common language in the island
today. Some English is taught in all the
schools. Everywhere the children speak it,
and many parents attend night schools to
acquire it. All the national songs of
America are sung in the English language

Porto Rican Schools.


Maj, Croft spoke of the Past, Present
and Future of Porto Rican Schools" He
said the defects of the school system under
Spanish rule had been abated within fifteen
months after our military government as
Sumed control. Instead of the loose, in
complete system which the Spaniards left,
a modern American public school system
has been established and Is doing wonder
full work. 1t required herculean efforts, he
said to accomplish all that had been done
within that time because of the many diff
culties in the way. He attributes the sue
cess of the work to several men, of whom
he spoke as follows:
ITO Gen. Guy V. Henry belongs the honor
of beginning the reform of the Porto Rcan
schools. Gen. George w. Davis wisely con-
tinued and sustained the work, and to Gen.
John Eaton belongs the great honor of
writing the school law of Porto Rico. un-
der which the school system of the Span
iards was AmericaniZed.
Gen. Eaton did not remain to put his
law into operation. This was done by his
immediate successors, who, aided by the
military governor, Gen. Davis, introduced
such notifications experience showed to
be necessary to its smooth working
The work of education has been retarded
by the numerous changes which have been
made in the head of the department of edu-
cation. Under the military government six
gentlemen presided in a period of eighteen
months while under the civil government
less than two years established, there have
already been three. No stable progress can
be made if these changes are continI1ed

| The discussion Of matters pertaining to
public health took up the time Of the
meeting Of the association last night. Ad-
dresses were delivehed by General George

General Sternberg-s spoke on Infection
and Distinction" and ING his opening re-
marks distinguished between infection and
contagion. He explained affection and the
location OF infectious agents in various dis
eases.
THE object of disinfection," he said, 'is
to prevent the extension of infectious dis
eases by destroying the specific infectious
material which gives rise to them. This Is
accomplished by the use Of disinfectants"
He said the term disinfection is used In
such a broad sense by calling chemical
agents which destroy bad odors. ETC., dis
infectants that it has led to much misap-
prehension. THE injurious consequences
which are likely to result from such misap-
prehension and misuse Of the word disin-
fectant, said General Sternberg. will be
appreciated when it Is known that II has
been demonstra ted that many Of the agents
which have been found useful as deodo-
riZers, antiseptics, are entirely with
out value for the destruction of disease
germs"
|. Tests in incubation.
He also took up the subject of inocula-
tion and told of the tests made in that
branch Of medical science in the efforts to
discover preventives for disease. At the
conclusion of his address he illustrated the
various points by stereopticou views of
disease germs highly magnified Among the
views shown were the germs of grip or in
fiuenza and diphtheria and consumption.
General Sternberg declared that whitewash
and sunshine were among the best disin-
fectants.
The bubonic plague he asserted, was
largely spread by rats, and recent report
received by him from the Philippines de-
scribed how the rodents had been killed by
thousands in order to check the spread of
that dreaded disease.
Malaria, General Sternberg said was now
known to be transmitted by mosquitoes
Destroy the mosquito" he declared, ''and
malarial fevers will disappear" He en-
joined nurses of malarial patients to see
that no mosquitoes got into the sick room,
whence they could carry forth the fever
germs. The same declaration applies also
to yellow fever.

General Sternberg Talks Of Public
Health - Prof. Brumbaugh on
Porto Rican Schools.

The general meeting Of the American So.
cial Science Association, which has been In
session since Monday evening at the Co.
lumbian University Hall, closed this after
noon after an interesting and instructive
program, beginning at 10 O'clock this morn.
ing, The discussion of the day related to
matters under the department of education
and art and was presided over by Rev.
Joseph Anderson, D. D.
Among the speakers at today's session
were Rev. Anderson, Gen. T. J. Morgan
formerly United States commissioner Of In
dian affairs; Mr.. Herbert Welsh. CORE
spending secretary Of the Indian Rights
Association Maj. G. G. Croft, president of
the Porto Rican board of education under
the military government; Prof NJ. G.
Brumbaugh, commissioner of education In
Porto Rico, and Rev. Frank Sewau. Cen
eral Morgan's address appears elsewhere
in The Star.
Mr.. Welsh, in discussing THE Indian
Problem" said the former theory for solv-
ing the question was that the Indian was
to be civilized by segregation, but that now
nearly all friends of the Indian have been
committed to the wiser policy of civilization
by absorption. He told Of the objects of the
Indian Rights Association and what it had
accomplished. One of the greatest OBJ
stacles in the way of a just settlement of
the Indian question. he declared. is the DIFF
ficulties encountered in protecting Indians
in the possession of their lands. In con-
Guiding he said
THE North American Indian should be
absorbed by our civilization. In numerous
cases he has shown himself capable of an
earnest, faithful religious life. of self-sup-
porting industry. Of mental refinement and
development. The right working Of the
governments humane purpose for his well
fare depends largely on unofficial popular
interest and aid"

Accounts Not Evenly Balanced.

He spoke Of the obligation the wealthy
and cultured owe to the toilers, and said:
God gives the beauty of the sunset and
the flowers to the humblest laborer without
waiting for him to reach the rank of
beauty makers. The question is, what, be-
sides religion-the greatest human need-is
the most genuine joy, above the plane Of
mere animal qualification, that we can I'M
part to the toiling masses directly? hold
that this is the Joy Of the beautiful-the
beautiful In form, sound. color, in charac-
ter. And 1 insist that the so-called privi-
legged classes are not making an even bal
ance of accounts with those lower down, by
putting them off with mere high wages and
other provisions for physical comfort, or
even with the means of higher culture such
as libraries, reading rooms, lectures and the
like. which, to many, are only a kind of
mild medicine at the best. so long as that
rarest duintessence of human luxury, the
enjoyment of the beautiful in art, is not
showered lavishfy upon the great masses of
the toiiers; so that, not merely at some
future day when toll shall cease, but now,

turn to the humblest laboring classes in

debt which wealth and it's art owe to them
as the producers of the crude material for
