Against Fertilization of Panama.

Representative James Tawney, the
chairman of the Appropriations Commit
tee; ex-Gov. Beaver, of Pennsylvania,
and Delegate Andrews, of New Mexico,
were discussing the merits of the fortifi-
cation OF the Panama Canal in the lobby
of the Shoreham last night. Representa-
tive Tawney squarely registered his op-
saying that it would mean $4,000. 900 of
expense to the United States every year.
He contended that by fortifying the
waterway the government of this coun-
try would only benefit foreign powers.
and he suggested that, if fertilization
must be- its expense should be defrayed
by the powers making use of the canal,
or that its neutrality should be guaran-
teed by the great powers.
Mentioning arbitration, Mr. Tawney
said that the day of arbitration of all
disputes was fast approaching. and Gov.
Beaver, who silently listened to Mr.. Taw-
ney. said it looked as if arbitration were
gaining strength.
Delegate Andrews suggested that it
would be wise to fortity the canal in
order to be prepared should emer gencies
arise. He said that he did not think
Canadian reciprocity OF much benefit.
Baron and Baroness Won Wolzogen, of
Germany, are at the Shoreham. The
baroness is a well-known German au-
thoress, and is a student of the voIks-
lied or folkSong.

VIE WS AND
INTERVIEWS
Popular College Edueation.

DR.. Edwin +. sparks, president of the
State College of Pennsylvania, is at the
Shoreham. He is accompanied by Gen
Beaver, formerly governor of Pennsyl-
vania. and will extend an invitation to
the Chinese Minister to deliver an ad-
dress TO the students of the college at
some date near at hand. Speaking of
education, DR.. Sparks said: Il believe
We have inaugurated a new movement of
popular education at our institution 1t
consists of taking the college to the peo-
pie. We believe. as long as our college
is supported by the taxpayers, they
should have as much benefit from it as
possible. We believe strictly in the prin-
ciple of taxation with representation.
I'VE have what might be called travel
ing schools continued DR.. Sparks. For
instance, every young man who is gradu-
ated in agriculture from the college
pledges himself TO continue, after he
leaves the college, to make certain ex-
perin1ents in agriculture or pomology and
report results to the college. These grad
uates also do missionary work in the
community where they may locate, and
they teach their neighbors what they
have learned at the college in modern,
scientific farming.
We send teachers to the coal regions
and instruct the miners in the construc-
ton of shafts and the avoidance OF mine
dangers. We also have our teachers at
Altoona in the car shops. to instruct the
apprentices there in the mechanical
sciences and help them to be better me-
ChaniCs. We have a road-building train
on the road throughout Pennsylvania,
stopping at every little station. Our
teachers not only give lectures on road
building. but they give practical demon
strations of it, carrying with them on
the train road-building machinery. We
also have a department of domestic
science. and We send teachers out to
instruct the girls
