SCHOOLGIRLS SANITATION.

| Forty states of the union have taken
action toward safeguarding the sani-
tation of public school buildings, ac-
cording to a bulletin on "Schoolhouse
Sanitation, just issued by the Bureau
of Education of the Z. S. Department
Of the Interior.
Probably nine-tenths of the exist
! ing regulation of this sort has come
within the past decade" declares the
bulletin. Each state profits by the
experience of At others. A law passed
n one extreme of the country today is
copied next month or next year by
state 1000 or 5000 miles distant"
Thirty-eight states have some legal
provisions regarding the school site
according to the bulletin. Nearly all
of these provisions are statewide in
their application, and are mandatory
in character. These provisions in
clude the proximity of "nuisances,
availability of the site and size of the
site Nineteen states have laws pro-
hibiting the location of school build
ings within specified distance from
places where liquor is sold from gam
bling houses, houses of prostitution
and noisy or smoky factories.
Thirty of the states have sought to
regulate the water supply of the pub
lie school. "The revolt against the
common drinking cup" says the bulle-
tin, "has come within the past five
years. Kansas was the pioneer, but
other states followed rapidly, so that
now half of the entire number have
either law or regulations regard
ing drinking cups"
Some form of protection against fire
and panic is found in SO states. Blan-
ket regulations, or the power to make
such regulations, exist in u states.
General or special construction with
view to fire prevention is dealt with in
II states. Thirteen of the states have
something to say as to corridors and
inner stairways; "a have regulations as
to exits, and 25 as to exterior es-
capes; 10 mention alarm and freight
ing apparatus, and II states provide
by law or regulations for fire drills.
Less than half the states, according to
the bulletin, have any legal word on
ventilation. Thirty cubic feet of fresh
air per pupil per minute is the con-
ventional amount specified.
In the matter of cleaning and disin-
Iectlng, signify more than One-fOurth
of the states have regulations which
control conditions to any degree out
side the districts themselves. Some of
the laws and dregulations are almost
model; others are wholly inadequate
A few state boards of health have done
notable work in this particular. Spec
ial cleaning and disinfecting follow in
seven states Immediately upon discov-
cry in any school of any of certain
class of diseases. Three of the states
have a special list of specific diseases
that call at once for action This list
includes scarlet fever, smallpox, and
diphtheria in all three states, measles
in two, and infantile paralysis, cpl
demic spinal meningitis and bubonic
plague in one each"

weeks; during that time courses are
given on various phases Of advanced
agricultural science, agricultural econ
! omics, and rural sociology. Each
course is usually divided into four
distinct parts given in the four differ
ent weeks of the school and each by q
specialist in his subject. Many prom
Trent and learned men have been mem
hers of the faculties: Zuntz, Hall, Won
I Tscharmak, Ewart, Russell, Marshall,
and Darbishire, from European coun-
tries, have been on faculties in past
years. Mendel, McDougal, Castle,
Duggar, Riddle, Sherman, Carver, East
and Harris, from institutions not prim-
arily agricultural in purpose, have
been included also. In addition to
these, nearly all of the men in agricul-
tural colleges in the United States
known as specialists on various phases
, of agricultural work have taken part.
The Graduate School brings together
a. each session from 100 to 200 men
and women from the faculties of the
q pr;or1+YroI oo1louac from oSOoripoonr
stations land agricultural and rural
workers of various kind, for four
weeks of very serious discussion with
each other and with the special lee
turers on problems connected with adj
vdnced work in agriculture. 1t has
proved to be valuable institution Off
exchange of advanced thought in
these fields and will probably hold its
place for many years to come in spite
Of the addition of systematic agricul-
tural graduate courses in regular in
situations.
The Graduate School is under the
immediate charge of the Committee on
Graduate Study of the Association of
American Agricultural Colleges and
Experiment Stations. Dr. A. C. True,
Director of the States Relations Ser
vice of the U. S. Department of Agri-
culture, ha sacted as dean since its es-
tablishment The first session was
held at the Ohio State University in
1902; other sessions have been held at
the University of Illinois Q906, Cor
.rell University Q9OS), Iowa State Col
lege (1910), Michigan Agricultural Col
lege Q912), University of Missouri
G914). The seventh session will be
held at the Massachusetts Agricultural
College from July to 2S, 1916. The
three courses to be emphasized are:
% Factors of growth Of plants and
animals.
(2) Fundamental problems of in
tensive agriculture, including agron-
omy, horticulture and dairy hus-
bandry;
(3) Agricultural economics and
rural sociology.
This latter course is to be especial
II emphasized; in addition to the
courses given in the Graduate School
are others given in the regular sum-
mer school conducted by the college

This Is one Of the sensible changes
which have been made by Nine. La
Mode in wartime.
Fright up to the chin is now the
rule for collars" said the representa-
tive of Paris firm Of modistes.
"Blouses that leave the chest ex-
posed will soon disappear entirely so
far as women who have any regard for
fashion are concerned.
"The decollete blouse and corsage
of the day gown have until quite re-
Gently been carried to the extreme.
Not only has the V been worn as
plainly as in evening dress, but In
some cases it has extended for street
wear almost to the waist"
The disappearance Of the pneumo-
MIA blouse and the return of the full
skirts which are now In vogue will
increase the primness OF women's ap.
pearance, in that the figures will be
fully covered from ankle to ear.
