The Pensacola journal. (Pensacola, Fla.) 1898-1985, 1916-10-07

DIR. H. s. Davis, professor of ZOO
logy and bacteriology in the college
of arts and sciences, received recent
ly separate of the Journal of Nor
phology containing an article written
by him in the June issue of that
publication. The article is on a here
tofore undescribed species of parasite
of certain marine fishes. DR.. Davis
made the discovery of this species
while he was making an extended
study of the Myxosporidian parasites
of the marine fishes of Beaufort, N.
C. Owing to the many points of ex-
ceptional interest which this species
exhibited, DIR. Davis made an extend
ed investigation of its structure and
development.
Most of the work was done at
Beaufort while DIR. Davis was con-
nected with the bureau Of fisheries
laboratory at that place during June,
July and August, 1911 and 1912. The
results of his findings were published
in the journal previously mentioned
Vol. 81, No. Q in June of this year
by permission of the Commissioner
of Fisheries.
The Journal of Morphology is rec
| ognized by scientists as one of the
best and most authoritative publica-
tions of its kind and its recognition
of DR.. Davis work is a distinct COM
pliment to his ability.
Engineering Jobs Go Begging.
The College of Engineering has
been asked recently to fill ten or
eleven jobs with its graduates. Ac-
cording to j. R. Benton, dean of the
| college, all the graduates have posi-
lions and the jobs had to go begging
for men to take them. The demand
for engineers has shown a great in
crease during the last few months
and the effect of it is reflected to a
| certain extent by the enrolment in
the college this year.
Dean Benton says that the in
crease in enrolment for the first two
weeks since the University opened is
10 per cent greater than it was for
the whole year last year. The fresh
man class is 40 per cent greater than
any previous freshman class.

which the men are doing. They held

, strations. They attended some of the
county agents sessions during the
principal lectures. Some of the
speakers of the agents meetings
were drafted for the women's SEES
sions.
Nat T. Frame, state agent fol
West Virginia, gave series of lee
lures during the week on organiza
ton. Mr.. Frame has had grea'
deal of experience in demonstration
: work and he is recognized as one O
the best rural organizers in the coun
. try. His lectures illustrated a grea
many problems common to all states
and the agents received much valu
j able information from his discussions
Other lectures by workers of thu
United States department of agricul
ture, the experiment station, extension
division and by the agents them
selves, helped to make the meeting
the most successful that has eve
been held In the state.
