uNIvERsITIEs AND THE PUBLIC


A striking illustration of the chang
Ing conditions in educational ideas
may be found in the growing appre-
citation on the part OF leading UNIVERSE
ties Of their responsibility to the pub
lie. In former generations q univer-
sity was regarded as q thing apart,
and a college professor was looked on.
not only by the humorous para
graphers of the newspapers, but also
by the mass Of people. as a man living
in a world of ideas. without any con-
nection with practical affairs. Today
our leading universities are recog-
MIXING not only the opportunity, but
also the duty Of making available their
knowledge for the benefit OF the
masses. This tendency is highly COM
mendable. especially in the field of
public health and prevention of dis
ease. The Harvard medical school
has a standing committee on public
lectures which arranges each year for
a course of Sunday afternoon talks by
members of the faculty. These talks
are open to the general public and are
on topics Of general interest. For in
stance, la8l year lnG COuISC "a WCAASy
lectures included such topics as Pre-
ventive Medicine in Relation to Indus
trial and International Concord" The
Care and Feeding of Young Children,
what the State Board Of Health is
Doing to Protect the Health of Its
Citizens" 1.-The Dangerous Effects OF
Patent Medicines and THE Preserva-
ton Of the Natural Teeth" This
years course includes talks on "Ra-
tional Baby Feeding" Bodily Effects
of Rage and Fear" "Spectacles and
Eyeglasses. Their Use and Abuse"
and other subjects of practical inter-
est. The lectures given in the past
have proved of value and SO popular
that they are now being issued in little

THE KENTUCKY. EDUCATIONAL
ASSOCIATION
Louisville, April 20, 80, May 4, 2.

Following close upon the great
conference for education in the
south which met at Louisville last
week. which was in many respects
the most notable educational meet
ing ever held in the south, comes
the Kentucky Educational Associa-
tion which will begin its sessions on
Wednesday evening, April 20, and
continue till Saturday noon, May 2.
The officials OF the Association are
planning to make this the greatest
state educational gathering ever held
in Kentucky. Mr.. N. C. Hammack,
the president, and Mr.. II. w. Vinson,
the Secretary, with the other OFF,
cials are vigorously pushing a cam
paign to have 5000 Kentucky teach
ers in attendance. Nearly 5000 peo-
pie attended this meeting last year,
but the wide-awake educators who
are engineering the association will
not be satisfied until every teacher
in the state is enrolled as a member
and actually attends the meetings.
The program is unusually strong
and attractive, including the names
Of the foremost educators and social
workers of the state. DR.. +. Y. Null

S. government has been singled out
by the Mexican usurper, that other
foreign nations have been spared.

not to bring war upon Mexico, but
to obtain full recognition of the
