Little Faith in Boiled Infusion.
Professor schaefer continued:


Since ,he experiments of Pasteur few
had ventured TO affirm a belief in the
spontaneous generation of bacteria and
monads and other heterogeneous. But
IL the formation of life-of living sub
stancc-was possible AT the present day,
and ! see no reason 10 doubt II, a boiled
infusion Of organic matter and still less
of inorganic matter is the last place in
which to look for IL.
Setting aside as devoid of scientific
foundation the Idea OF immediate super
natural Intervention in the first produc-
ton Of life, we are not only justified in
believing. but compelled to believe. that
living matter must have owed its origin
10 causes similar In character 10 those
which have been instrumental in produce
ing all other forms Of matter In the uni
verse-in other words, to a process OF
gradual evolution.
Looking therefore at the evolution ,of
living matter BY the light which IS shed
upon II rom the study OF the evolution
Of matter In general we are led to re-
gard II as having been produced not by
"A sudden alteration, whether eXcrted by
natural or supernatural agency, but by
"A gradual process Of change from ma
terial which was lifeless, through ma
terial on the border land. between mani
mate ana animate, to material which has
all the characteristics TO which we at
tach the term life" SO far from ex-
pectlng "A sudden leap from an inorganic,

EDUCATION OF
STATE WOMEN

A committee Of the State Board Of
Education and a committee of the
trustees Of Delaware College met in
joint session in Chancellor Charles
NJ. Curtis parlor in the court house
yesterday TO take up the matter Of
education of women in connection
With Delaware College. Those pres
ent we're. Professor George W. Twit-
myer and Professor Harry Hayward,
on behalf of the Board OF Education,
and Dr. George A. Harter, Daniel w.
Corbit, William + lyman and Chan
cellor Curtis on behalf of the trustees
of Delaware College.
The committee from the State
Board of Education stated that it had
been instructed by the legislature to
formulate some plan for the higher
education of women in the state and
that In order TO carry out its duty
the committee decided that this
should be done i'm connection with
Delaware College. After a general
discussion the following tentative
conclusions were reached The
State of Delaware should provide
three courses of instruction for
young women of the state I'm an afiil-
lated institution at Delaware College
! These courses to be, 0) Arts and
science leadin gto a degre of bache-
/ lor of arts (2) Course in domestic
science leading to a degree of bache-
elor Of science; and CD a course in
pedagogy OF from one to four years
in length.
All the courses should be OF the
! same length and of the same require
ments as similar courses i'm the coli
| lcge at the present time The en-
trance requirements for the course in
arts and science and the course in
domestic science to be held as are
now in force for the course in arts
and science and general science at
the college and that men and women
shall not be in the same classes.
II was stated that with some small
additions to the number of the fac
ulty this instruction could be fur
nished.
The matter of additional class
room at the college was taken up. In
order that something definite could be
had to work on, a committee of Pro-
fessor Hayward and Chancellor Cur
tbs was appointed to secure from
some architect plans for the build
ings necessary for accommodating
one hundred young women, and to OBJ
tain an estimate on the cost of these
buildings. Il was decided that one
of the buildings should not only be
a dormitory but should be a resi-
dence for the dean of the college of
women and other women instructors
The other building should contain
class rooms, laboratories and com
plete library The committee will
also look into the matter of a site for
the buildings.
When the two joint committees de-
eide definitely what should be done
their plans will be submitted to the
State Board of Education and the
trustees Of Delaware College who
will bring the matter up at the next
session of the general assembly.
