VIII Not Go Into Effect Until
November SOB.
EXAMINING THE MEN.
Code Cannot Be Adopted Until
Quizzing is Completed.
H. U. Nudge Speaks of Educa-
tiOnaI Qualifications.

It has been decided that the new
Santa Fe train code will not be put into
effect until after the adoption of the
next time card in November. 1903
The officials had intended to officially
adopt the new code simultaneously with
the Introduction Of the new card on
June 1, but it has been found IN possible
to do this. General Nudge said yester-
day:
we were unable to get everything
ready for the change on June 1, and
therefore it viii be necessary to post
pone the adoption of the new code until
it can be adopted simultaneously with
the next new time card. The examina-
lions of the men under the new code
are now in progress and viii go on
steadily from now till next November
when it is believed that every man in
the operating department viii have had
an opportunity to undergo the test
rs the examination oral or Written?"
Both" said Mr.. Nudge. Some OF
the questions viii require a written an
swer. Some viii merely be oral
rs the educational requirement of the
men raised2"
Nothing is required except that the
men be able to read and write. 1t is
well understood on the Santa Fe, how
ever, that an educated man is to be
given preference over an uneducated
for a position and show other quaIihca-
tons apparently equal the man who
had been to school would be chosen.
Some time ago 1 went on record as be
ing in favor of giving preference in
employment to those who had taken a
High school course An eastern profess
sor who was collecting data for @ mag
azine article wrote to me for my Opin-
ion, and it was embodied in the article
which he published. President Ripley
has also given his opinion in favor of
a higher standard OF educational quail
fication.
The examinations under the new code
are conducted by duly appointed
officials of the operating department.
Before the code is put into effect, every
man on the whole system must have
taken the quiz" before the committee
of officials. There will probably be a
different committee for each division of
the road
For several weeks the examinations
have been in progress on the western
end Of the road. 1t will probably be
completed there before it is on the
Santa Fe main lines.
One Of the new features of the Santa
F'e time card just issued is 16-page
summary Of the new code. All of the
important rules are printed in full, and
there is only about a third of the en-
tire code which is not printed in the
card. The code summary does not APP
pear in the system cards, but only in
the cards prepared for the use of the
separate divisions.

in the botanical department and IN the
classes in pharmacognosy. The work
here requires not only instructions, but
also original investigation. Every spare
moment OF this year the whole force
has been given to investigation relating
to pharmacOpoeal revision. This is con
sidered exceedingly important and
should be provided for in one way OF
another. It seems that the board 0f
regents should be put in a position to
provide a special fellowship fund of $500
or more per annum. This would be for
the purpose of allowing some bright
student to continue year or two; and
during that time he could be called to
the Institutional force and thus be of
some aid in that way. We pharmacists
can well afford to press this matter, be-
cause every contribution emanatlng
from the school not only eievateS the
school itself. but in a more or less di-
rect manner helps the profession. The
school of pharmacy is one institution be-
longing to the pharmacists Of the state
in which we should take much pride as
a source of scientific investigation. The
practical and theoretical sides are work
ing in harmony at the institution and
are being pushed with all the vigor
that facilities placed at the disposal Of
the department will allow"
