Rural Schools Discussed.

Two organizations had forenoon and

Many speakers were on the program

the chief theme was promotion of the
scientific study of education.

DETROIT. Mich. February 21.-Three
OF the many organizations affiliated
with the National Educational Associa-

conventions here this week, began their
sessions today. Rural schools, collegi-
ate education and vocational training
were subjects which came prominently
before the attention of the delegates
Twenty-one societies and associations
are to meet this week. They embrace
practically every known branch of ed
ucational work and are to bring to-
sether men and women from every sec
ton of the United States who have won
distinction III school, college and civic
instructions.
The meetings are expected to all be
closed by Friday night. when it is
hoped the great mass or routine work
incident to the National Educational
Associations convention at New York
next July will have been cleared away.

$4,000 in Organization.

The organizati ton is composed of $4,000
employers representing 100000 working
people. A bulletin service showing the
latest ideas in prevention of accidents
and caring for injuries has been institute
ed The general scheme of the orga MIA
ton is to get the manufacturers and en-
pioyers in various industries together so
that in conference they can Investigate
and work out the peculiar hazards OF
their line of business.\
There are fifteen of these sections
such as textile. metal workers. paper
mills. etc Then there are twenty-four
local councils in operation between
San Francisco and Boston.
The scope of the work and interest in
this conservation organization is shown
by the fact that recently 5000 persons
. attended conference in Chicago and
arrangements are now being made for
a national convention in Detroit in Oc-
tober. The question of making the
safety orEaniZa ton interna tional is to
be taken up at this convention. 1t is
stated by the officials that it is an or
Ganizaticn which is cooperative and
humanitarian and not for the profit of
any Of the members. all serving with
out pay. Tor the promotion of safety.
The fact that j. is not purely indus
trial. but includes work for general
safety. is emphasized. Preaching the
gospel that every fifteen minutes. one
person is killed and almost everyl six
teen seconds one person is injured in
the United States. and that more than
so per cent of these accidents are I'M
necessary. this organization has pre-
pared. in cooperation with the Red
Cross. a pamphlet on public safety
which is to be made text book for
public instruction and guidance through
the assistance of the Boy Scouts This
contains advice for the prevention of
accidents at home. in the street and at
school.
The educational propaganda of the
National Safety Council is one of it's
features. As best agency of preach
ing safety and making il a part of the
having safety rules taught in the low
eT grade schools and upward into the
colleges. a course of safety lectures
is now being sent out to 500 schools

contains features which would abso-

Handle Research Problems.

All Of the laboratories of the Dis
trict are engaged in handling research
problems Of economic Importance, and
since the outbreak of the war many
new problems have been taken up for
consideration, some of which problems
are vital to national defense in case
of war. Alcohol plays large part in
this work, and the success of foreign
manufacturers has been due to a large
extent to their ability to obtain un-
limited supplies of this material
AT the present time there is an
enormous demand for chemical talent
in manufacturing industries through
out the country. and there is every
prospect OF this demand continuing in
definitely. The educational institutions
OF the District are engaged in training
young men and women for active serv-
ice in this important field and the
success of these institution is due in
large measure to their ability to turn
out high-cass chemists and chemica |
engineers. The stucy of chemistry re-
quiries large laboratory practice, and
one OF the important reactive agents
and one which is used TO large ex-
tent. is grain alcohol.
Tine foregoing indicates the effect
i This bill Will have upon scientific work
should ii become Law. and il is the
opinion of this society that those fea =
lures wrich now stand in the way of
the development of legitimate and
necessary scientific industry should be
modified

About Sixty Days Required.

After efforts had been made to induce
shipbui,ders at Baltimore and else
where to bid on the construction of
fuel oil tanks in the cutter Algonquin,
the coast guard authorities have ar
ranged with the Norfolk navy yard to
do the work. The cutter, which had
been at the Arundel cove depot for sew
eral months undergoing repairs, has
gone to Norfolk. About sixty days will
be required 10 complete the work to be
done to her. She Will then return to
her station on the coast of Porto Rico,
relieving the cutter itaSca.
From q visit to the Pacific bird res
ervation. group of islands out in the

by the United States. the cutter Thetis

Landings were made all the islands,
and no signs of poachers having visited
them were found.
Orders for the week were as follows:

When Alcohol Is Needed.

Many analytical methods of the
Pharmacopoeia require the use of alco-
hol at one stage or another of the
manipula lions. and it is unreasonable
to suppose Congress would pass sub
sequent law which would prevent the
government laboratories and other
Laboratories conducting drug work
from carrying out the details OF the
methods of analysis Specined therein.
In the rules ana regulations of both
the food and drugs act and the in
secticide act it is directed that many
analyses shall be performed by meth
DDS made official by the Association of
Official Agricultural Chemists and di
rected by the Secretary of Agriculture
These methods not only provide for the
examination of drug products. but also
for the entire lines of food products,
and the methods in many instances re-
quire the use of alcohol. All of the
chemical laboratories, whether govern
mental Or private. are continually re-
ceiving samples from outside sources
of investigation, many of these being
sent to the District because of the par
ticular ability of a certain laboratory
to handle a certain class of work, and
many of these products contain vary
ing quantities of alcohol! AS the law
reads at present it would be impossible
for these samples to come into the
district. and even il they were so re-
ceived, the express companies are for
hidden to deliver them to their ,des-
tina ton

Two Calls Early in Week.

Early in the week the Onondaga re-
sponded to notification that the three
masted schooner Crescent was anchor
ed off Cape Henry and in distress. Has
tenng to the position indicated, the
schooner was found leaking so rapidly
that her pumps could not keep her
free. while her sails were gone and she
was otherwise damaged. The ship was
brought into Hampton roads for har-

time from four-master, the Margaret
She was found disabled and was also
brought into Hampton roads, where re-
pairs can be made and the vessel made
ready to resume her voyage north.
The cutter Yamacraw, on the Savan
nah station found the four-masted
schooner Emily I. White, ashore on
Bull Island. about fifteen miles north
east of Charleston lightship. The yes
sci was drawing thirteen feet of water
and was lying in seven feet in such
position that the cutter could not
get near her to offer her any assist
ance. The vessel will have to be light
ened before she can be fioated is the
opinion of the commanding officer OF
the cutter
