State College Students Conduct
Prove Willing Students

Another phase, and by no means
an unimportant one, was this week
added to Pullman's wonderful educa-
tional system, when an English
class, with five more or less litter
ate Austrian section hands as schol-
ars, was organized in a boxcar on
the Northern Pacific tracks, and the
foreign speaking men were given the
first lesson in a series of several
which is designed to give them an
acquaintance with the language and
customs of their adopted country
and teach them the principles of true
American citizenship. The organiza-
ton of the unique class came as a
direct outgrowth of the visit to
Pullman this week of f. H. Rindge
Jr., secretary of the industrial de-
partm ent of the international COM
mittee of the Y. NJ. G. A., who de-
livered two interesting addresses to
State College students. The mission
of the visitor is to interest students
in industrial service to foreign speak
ing men, including the teaching of
the English language, practical me-
chanics, including mathematics,
drawing, etc., and imparting to them
the principles of citizenship. That
the visit of the Y. M. c.. A. man
bore great fruit is evidenced by
the willingness with which a number
of students Immediately went to
work to carry out the plans he ad-
vocated.
The first boxcar lesson was given
Tuesday evening, when a class of
five Austrians was organized. The
student teachers were Ray NJ .O'Day

fathers for their consideration. The
petition asked that the council use
its Influence in future Improvement
contracts to assure that local labor
ing men will be given the preference
over transient or outside men. The
petition was filed for future refer

to use home labor in all cases where
that is practicable.

| Mr.. Rindge, who maintained head
quarters in New York City, arrived
in Pullman Tuesday, and Tuesday
evening delivered most interesting
address at the meeting of the Cham
Der OF Commerce. Mr.. Rindge has
the problems which form a part of
his duties well in hand, is practical
to a wonderful degree, and at once
gained the confidence of his hear
ers. Wednesday morning he ad-
dressed the entire student body of
I the State College during the chapel
period, taking as his subject, The
Human Side of Big Business" Mr..
Rindge recently inspected the work
ings of the big Ford automobile
plant and became conversant with
the system employed by the con-
Germ in regard to it's employees, and
made this plant the example of his
talk. Wednesday afternoon the men,
bers of the engineering departments
formed his audience and his address
had to do with the humane side OF
engineering. Mr.. Rindge, who is
accompanied on a part of his extern

tary of industrial work in the Y. NJ.

and a water main had been laid, thus
precluding any difficulty that might
arise later in laying the water and
sewer pipes. The water superintend-
ent and chairman of the water COM
mittee were delegated by the council
to investigate the water and sewer
conditions in the addition and report
at the next meeting, May Is, the date
set for hearing on the resolution de-
claring the intention of the council
to improve certain streets in the
addition by filling, grading, gutter

FIRE OUT
IN TWO SECONDS
Demonstration of Safety Separator
Fire EXtinguisher ON College
Farm Attracts Big Crowd

A seething mass of flames in an
limproyised separator one second and
every spark extingushed two or
three seconds later was the result of
a demonstration conducted Wednes-
day morning on the experimental
farm of the State College by George
A. Fellows of Cheney, secretary and
general manager of the Harvester
Safety Fire Extinguisher company,
which has headquarters at Cheney
Mr.. Fellows brought his eXtinguisher,
which is designed to prevent fire loss
in separators after smut explosions,
to the college at the solicitation of
college experts who are making an
exhaustive investigation of the cause
of the smut fires and conducting
various experiments in an effort to
solve the problem of preventing a re-
currence of the great loss which was
occasioned by smut in wheat last
fall. The extinguisher consists of a
sheet iron tank of 30-gallons capac-
ity, filled with water, and in which
| is placed a bottle containing solu-
tion of sodium bicarbonate and sui
phuric acid Connected with the
tank are two one-inch pipes, running
the entire length of the separator,
inside, and each perforated in such
manner as to throw a spray to
every part of the separator. AS soon
as the fire starts inside the separ-
ator the bottle of acid is broken by
means of lever and mixed with the
water, which instantly creates a pres
sure of from 1870 to 175 pounds, suf-
ficient to force the mixture through
the pipes and spray thoroughly every
part of the machine, extinguishing
the flames almost instantly.
The demonstration here was a
highly successful one and was wit
messed by a large number of farm
ers, faculty members, students and
business men, who expressed conf"
dence in the ability of the device to
do the work which is claimed for it.
The machines will be placed on the
market at a price of $191 each.
