New School Sanitation Plan.

A new idea in school sanitation has
been tested by the medical director of
Dartmouth college About five years
ago he began making bactsriologic ex'
aminations OF the air of the college
halls and recitation rooms, and soon
found a great periodic variation in the
number OF bacteria colonies that de-
veloped on the culture media exposed
In the usual shallow open dishes He
then adopted the plan Of disinfecting
with formaldehyde any room showing
more than thirty-fivs colonies of clus-
tiers Of any kind Of bacteria to dish.
This custom has been continued. and
the result has been quite striking, the
cases OF epidemic colds. influenza and
bronchitis. among the students having
been reduced about one-half.

PROGRESSIVE
MEET IN n. !.
Delegates Up in the Air as to
Head Of Tickes

Syracuse, Sept. 5.-The opening
session of the progressive state con-
vention today found the frame work
of a party organization already con-
structed and the delegates ready for
the consideration of a. state ticket.
None of the candidates for the head
of the ticket are making canvass
and 1900 delegates are confronted with
problem which seems likely to lead
to a spirited contest on the conven-
ton floor.
Comptroller William A Prendergast
of New York told his friends this
morning that he would do nothing to
get the nomination, If 1t came to him
unsolicited, he said, he would accept
it, but he felt the delegates should
make their selection without influence
OF any sort. .-. -. y 's+1 49,
State Chairman Hotchkiss again de-
clared he was not to be considered
as a candidate, but many upstate
delegates were insistently for him.
Bainbrfdge Colby of New York was
a receptive candidate but he too, de-
clined to engineer any canvass in his
interest. When George w. Perkins ar
rived today many delegates believed he
would bring some message from
Roosevelt as to the makeup of the
party slate. The delegates are ex-
pected to adopt a platform today and
nominate candidates tomorrow.
