Measurements Now Being Made to Deter- mine Their Physical Condition. DR. ARTHUR MACDONALD, THE SPECIALIST, DE- SCRIBES WHAT HE EXPECTS WILL bE THE RE- SULT OF THE DATA WHICH 18 NOW BEING SE- CURED—INFORMATION BELIEVED TO BE OF VALUE To PARENTS. ‘There seems to be some doubt as to the utility of the measurements of children which have recently been commenced by the bureau of education and are being carried on with the assistance of Superintendent Powell, Miss Stoneroad, directress of physical culture, and the teachers of the public schools. In regard tothe value and purpose of such physical measurements, Dr. Arthur MacDonald, special- ist in the bureau of education, said to a re- porter of Tur Stan: “One of the general objects of recording the heights and weights, &c., of pupils in the Public schools is to determine the rate of growth of the human race under the conditions which Washington representa. Ifthe growth of a race in their native land can be compared with the growth of the same race after emigra- tion to our country, the effect of emigration and the adaptability of other nationalities to our surroundings can be studied; also a com- Parison of the physical condition in city schools and country schools may show what influence density of population and its conditionshave. Th effect of local hygieni cconditions on the phy- sique of growing children may be indicated. The rate of growth as between boys and girls of the same age and of all pupils of the same age in different grades may be determined, ‘Thus, in regard toa boy of the same age, but in a higher than another, it may be ascer- tained how far he is above the average men- tally, and whether ne is so physically or not. The value of this average increases, of course, with the number of those measured. ENTIRELY NEW DATA. “But in addition to these and other facts being gathered by the teachers at present, I am mak- ing some special measurements of the nervous system of the pupils. Theso have not been made before, except by a few university pro- fessors upon themselves or upon one or two of their students But with jildren little or nothing has been done. The instruments used are as follows: “The estheriometer is an instrument like a | of dividers, which determines the least sensi- lity to locality by having each pupil tell (closing the eyes) whether he or she ‘eels one or two points of the dividers. Those who can distin- guish the points when near together show acute wensibility to locality. This is tried on the wrists of both hands. A second instrument is the dynamoneter, which measures the strength of each hand. Another mstrument is the bar- wathesiometer, a recent invention by Prof. Eu- lenburg of Berlin. This determines the least sense of pressure that one can feel. “The fourth instrament is called the themo- wsthesiometer, which consists of two ther- mometers, one of which is heated just enough to feel warmer than the other. They arg both placed on the forearm and the pupil is asked to tell when the two thermometers feel the same, aud when this occurs the difference between the thermometers is recorded. Thus, the least sen- sibility to heat is obtained. As no expermments of this mature have been made on any con- siderable number of persons, and none on chil- dren, it is impossible to say at the outset what the results will be. But it isa priori probable that any scientific results obtained as to the | condition of the nervous system are of the greatest practical value, since they stand in the | most intimate relation’ with the mental condi- tion of the pupil, SYSTEMS OF PHYSICAL CULTURE. “The importance of taking physical measure- ments of children in sebools lies also in the fact that they may be considered as a test for systems of physical culture to judge of their results. As pupils are examined periodically to test their mental growth and fe tego itis just as necessary for their welfare that their physical condition and development be | ascertained, so that may be gained | in body as well as in mind. But there must be some standard by which we can measnre phyeical development and growth. This can oniy be ascertained by taking measurements of alarge number of children of school all ages. Although the physical conditions upon which the activity of mind depends are so complex and so much is unkpown, yet it can be said with almost a certainty that at those ages in which children grow rapidiy there should be a corresponding reduction in | the amount of study required; and this should be done even if the pupil is mentally capable io do more, for no pupil should be developed in | mind to the detriment of bodily condi gen ‘The bright scholar, whom parents are too often inclined to push, needs it the least, especially it his physical’ condition is inferior to his mental. The saying that apples which ripen slowest last the longest is as true aa it is homel, ‘The aystematic collection, then, of physical s tisties in the public schools will furnish v unable facts for the hygienistand the educator. <a ENS HE DID NOT PROSECUTE. Young Salas Will Leave Here for Mexico Tonight. The arrest Inst evening of Ishmael B. Salas caused a surprise to the numerous friends of the young man who have known him during his two years’ stay in this city. Salas, who is only nineteen years old, is a son of Senor Salas, an official of the Mexican government. He was sent here to study law at the Georgetown Uni- versity. He had a liberal allowance of about $200 a month, and his father being an intimate friend of Senor Romero, the Mexican minister, the young man was virtually placed under the latter’s guardianship. He'was a popular young man, of pleasant manners and always appeared dressed in the latest fashion, His popularity soon became such that instead of devoting his attention to his law studies he spent considerable time in dissipation and con- tracted numerous bills, which were paid by his father. Learning that his son's conduct ‘was not what he desired it should be the father was anxious that he should retarn home snd, in order to force his return, his bills were no longer paid, and not many weeks ago the young man’s creditors came upon him. — Bille were presented at the Mexican legation, but they were not paid, and Senor Romero called on Maj. Moore for assistance in the matter. Seror Salas had sent money to Senor Romero and the latter wanted to send him home. It was for the yurpose of getting the young man to send him Rome that the police went to work on the case. Detectives Wheeler and Weedon went in search of him and Wednesday night they saw him in the neighborhood of 924 14th street, where he hada room. Salas, however. saw ihe officers and got out of their reach. Yesterday morning the officers found him in his room and they compelled him to go with them to the legation, where he promised to leave for home last night, although he afterward said he did not intend to leave Rere. ARRESTED FOR FALSE PRETENSES. Among the young man’s creditors was Mr. Miller, shirtmaker, to whom Salas owed $11.50, and learning that Salas was about to leave the city he swore out a warrant against him for alleged false pretenses, charging that Salas represented himself to be a member of the legation. On this warrant Salas was arrested about 10 o'clock Inst night, and was subse- uently released on asmall bond. It is said that @ bills contracted by the young man will | amount to more than $500, one item being #190 for board at the Hotel Roma. Friends of Salas were surprisei last night when they learned | of his arrest. They thought there was no occasion for the arrest, as the bills standing against him at present were all contracted dur- ing the mouth. ‘Mr. Milier’s bill was settled, as promised. and this morning he did not desire to prosecute the case and the warrant was nolle prossed by Prosecuting Attorney Mullowney. Mr. George F. Curtis was counsel for Mr. Salas, He said to a Star rej bail for Mr. Salas last night and he was per- fectly sober at that time. This morning he said Senor Romero bad $500 in his possession with which to settle the bills contracted by Sains. The young man. he said, will start for bis home in Mexico tonight.

Interesting Graduation Exercises in the Chapel Last Night. Six young men were last night awarded the degree of bachelor of arts by the faculty and trustees of the Howard University. The exer- Gives in connection with the presentation of the diplomas were interesting to such a degree that it was necessary to carry benches from the other rooms to the chapel of the university to accommodate the friends of the graduates who were in attendance. The exercises were of a musical and literary character, and that por- tion of the program In which the graduates participated reflected the greatest credit on their alma mater. , Four of the young colle- gians delivered,orations which proved the suc- cess of the faculty in preparing these young men for the strite of business or professional lite. They were delivered with excellent elocu- tionary power, and in their discourse showed the work of well-trained minds. The chapel was festooned with the nation’s flags and over the platform was the shield of the class with the motto “Aut vincere aut mori.” On the stage were the faculty of the college department, the graduates and Com- missioner Ross, the ‘oneal of the evening. A section of the ‘Marine Band was present and made the program a diversified one with enjoy- ablo music. ev. Dr. Rankin in opening the exercises invoked the Divine blessing on the university, the faculty and the young men who were about to start outon the real battle of life. He introduced Rev. Dr. Fairfield, the dean of the faculty, who presided during ‘the cere- monies, ‘THE ORATIONS. ‘The first oration was delivered by William 8. Hagans of Fremont, N. C., who chose as his subject “The Negro asa Soldier.” He bada good voice, spoke distinctly and with earnest- ness. From the days when Egypt was a great nation down to the present day he traced the deeds of valor and heroism accomplished by the members of his race. He laid particular stress upon the part they played in the civil war, when they given up their blood to the American flag from trailing in the dust. But, he ead, the negroes wero only halt free as the result of the strife aud their duty was to free the other half. “Egoism vs, Altruism” was the subject of the oration of Cal A. Leftwich of Lynchburg, Va, He took the ground that egoism within Ea bounds was the very esseuce of altru- ma, for self-regard brought self-respect and piness, and the happiness of self is tne happiness’ of others. me logic of his remarks was lucid and his delivery was much above the rage. This. oration in some tespects was the best of the efening. elson E. Weatherless of Bedford City, Va., addressed the audience on “Colorphobia,” In closing ‘hie uddress he expressed the hope that the progress of the colored and white races to- ward. barmony would continue until they were aunited people devoted to our country, our common cause, our destiny and end. The final oration was made by Newton J. Williams, jr., Safety of the American Union—Upon What Does it Depend?” In short, his anewer to bis own question was—the thorough harmony of the people, by which there would be a higher and better sentiment regarding the recognition of the negro at the polls in the south, whieh was now a hotbed of politieal antagonism. Before conferring the degrees upon the graduates Dr. Rankin, the president of the University, made a short address, in which he congratulated the collegians upon attaining the highest honor that their alma mater could con- 0 of tho facilities Which had been offered them for obtaining The graduates were W. S. Hagans, C. A. Leftwitch, J. W. Morris, N. E. Weutherless, N. J. Williams, jr., and W.'D. Winston. COMMISSIONER ROSS’ SPEECH. Commissioner Koss was introduced and said that he deemed it a great honor to take part in these exercises, and he had taken the opportu- nity to say afew unprepared words for the courtesy which had been extended to him in the invitation to be present and to do honor tothe university. He had watched its progress with interest for many years, and was very proud not only of the power which it was in the Dis- triet, but the reputation that it bore through- out the country. Mr. Ross spoke in the highest térms of Dr. Rankin, whom he characterized man peculiarly well fitted and qualified for e had watched the nts most creditably uopn the ini clerical forces of the gover he knew of no place where terial than from the schools and uni the District. “W! rs, “that twenty-five years ago the ancestors of these young men were boudsmen, no one can place a limit on the achievements of this race.” THE PRIZES AWARDED. A prize of 25 was awarded to Miss Corinne L. Gibson of the sophomore class and George W. Mitchell of the junior class for having obtained the highest rank in mathematics. To Miss M. C. Alexander a prize of €15 was awarded for the highest rank in the Jeniot class and to Geo. W. Mitchell a prize of $10 for second place in the same class, After the pronouncing of the benediction the exercises closed. —_—_ TEMPERANCE WOMEN. ‘The Quarterly Meeting of the W. C. T.

A few days ago when John Robinson, a col- ored man, was called in the Police Court as a witness in a liquor case, he complained that he | was being kept from his work, and this morn- | ing, when he appeared as a witness in a pistol case, Judge Miller calied his attention to the complaint he made the other di “Were you whitewashing yesterday?” the court aeked him. ‘The prisoner in the case was a Baltimore negro named Lem Hawkins, and the weapon be was charged with having carried was a pistol.

A remarkable escape from serious injury, if not death, occurred a few days ago. The little granddaughter of ex-Gov. H. H. Wells, who was here on a visit from her home in Rochester, N. Y.,spent a day with her cousin on 43¢ street. The little girl is only eleven years of age and isa bright and active child. During their play the little girls found their way to the upper story of the house, and May Walker, more ad- venturous than her cousin, decided to explore the attic, an air space which is between the fourth story and the roof. This space is lighted by a skylight in the roof, which is directly over the light shaft, which extends to the lower floor of the house. The staircase oc cupies the light shaft, leaving in the cen- ter a vacant space. As is usual with light shafts glazed frame is set in the ceiling of the last story. In some which is not known, little May, while in the at- tic, stepped on this glass frame and, of course, crashed through the glass and fell’ the entire Jength of the light ft, a distance of forty- three feet, landing on the lower floor. She was picked up Unconscious, doctors were at once summoned, but a thorough search: failed to discover any broken bones or any indication of internal irjury. She soon recovered con- sciousness, and during the first night care was taken that'she should not fall intoa stupor. Her Fecovery from, the shock of the fall was rapid. Ina few days she was about and by the en: ius wok aiterthe fall an waneo Selltiat Bae was able to return to her home in Rochester. It is a mystery to all familiar with the cir cumstances of this case how the little girl os- eaped from this dreadful peril without the slightest injury. cee COMPETITIVE DRILL, Good Showing Made by the First Battalion, High School Cadets. The first battalion of the High School Cadets held a competitive drill last night at the Acad- emy of Music and entertained a good-sized audience with military movements and tactica. A musical program was rendered by the Marine Band orchestra, and in the intermissions be- tween the selections the four companies of the battalion went through their drill. ‘The boys were in good trim and each com- pany contested valiantly for championship, but company A was too heary for the others and an declared the winner. "The judges. upon this occasion were Coy Constantine Chase, fourth artillery, U. 8. Capt. Charles 8. Domer, company C, second bat- talion, D. C. N.G.; Lieut. Henry W. Whitney, fourth artillery. v8.
