FARM COLLEGES The Convention of Agricultural Teachers Meets Senator Morrill. THEQUESTION OF A NAME CONSIDERED Efforts Toward a Uniform Curricu- lum in Agricultural Colleges. AT THE WHITE HOUSE This morning as the convention of agri- cultural teachers and experiment station workers were ‘prosily discussing the name of their essociation a sudden burst ot applause interrupted proceedings. A spare, blue-eyel old gentleman had quietly en- tered the rear of the hall and stood alone in the region of empty seats looking on. It was Senator Morrill, the author of the legislation which called the agricultural colleges of the United States into being and placed them on a firm endowment by what is known as the land grant college law. The eye of a delegate in the rear of the assemblage caught sight of the Sena- tor and he at once announced his preserice to the convention, and asked a suspension of business. In an instant every delegate in the house was on his feet cheering their distinguished visitor. President Buckham of the University of Vermont eszorted Seua- tor Morrill to the front, where Presijent Johnson presented him to the convention. As the Senator took a seat there the on- vention once more resumed the routine business, their guest evidently taking much interest in the proceedings. The most important business transacted was the final adoption of the Murkland report after its encountering many viciss!- tudes in the parliamentary gauntlet of a meeting wher2 everybody knows all about calceum carbonate, pretein, food rations, exoxmoze and ell that sort of thing, and almost nothing of the rules of ordez in a public assemblage. It was supposed yes- terday that this report, which provides for uniform cntrance requirements, courses of study and degrees in all the colleges, was to be referred to the executive committee to report for consideration a year hence. But it was found that :nere was a mistake about the postponement for a year, this morning the executive committce brought the matter up again with a favora- ble report on the measure. With no sub- stential oppcsition the report was adopted. College Studies. The report urges that all the colleges in the association be parsimonious in giving degrees and that only the degree of bach- elor of science be conferred for a four years’ technical course. The statement in the diploma that the degree is conferred for the accomplishment of the course in agri- culture, engineering, chemistry, &c., it is thought,would afford differentiation enough to distinguish the several varieties of the degree. For this’ degree tHe colleges are to require at least the following studies, what- ever additional studieS' in agricultural sci- ences may be. pursued: Mathematics, at least through algebra, geometry and trigo- nometry; physics and chemistry, with lab- oratory work in each; English language and literature, at least two years’ work; other languages (one, at least, modern), four years; mental science, and logic or moral science, one year; constitutional law; social, political or economic science, one year. The standard of entrance requirements to be adopted as soon as ible includes the following studié: hysical geography, United States history, arithmetic, including the metric system, algebra to quadratics, English grammar and composition, together with the English requirements of the New England Association, plane geometry, one forei@m language, one of the natural sci- ence, ancient, general or English history. Changing the Name. The much-mooted idea of changing the name of the association was brought up by Chancellor MacLean of the University of Nebraska, chairman of the committee ap- pointed yesterday to report on that subject. The committee decided that the name should be descriptive, and suggested that it be “The Association of Colleges of Agri- culture and Mechanic Arts and Experiment Stations.” Major Alvord made a point of order that the constitution could not be amended unless the proposed amendment Me over one year after being proposed to the association in convention. This view of the matter was about to be acquiesced in when Prof. Scovell of the Kentucky ex- periment station called attention to the fact that the subject had been before the association for two years, and it was in order to vote on the amended name as re- ported by the committee. Then somebody said the vote-must be.on rall call by states. At this point Dr. Smart of Indiana insisted that an amendment'-of : the constitution should be definitely framed, lie over one year, and then be adopted or rejected by a yes or no vote without a change in the amendment as accepted at the previous meeting. Senator Morrill Speaks. As the convention was desirous of hear- ing a few words from Senator Morrill the name question was then postponed for con- sideration at the evening session. Senator Morrill, when called en for a speech, was received with another enthusiastic out- burst of cheers. He said he had no speech to make and was there simply to see the friends of old times, who had been inter- ested with him thirty years ago in secur- ing legislation to establish the land grant colleges. He was happy to say that the measure had met with success and the colleges were established and prospering. Beyond this ne had no observations to make. Prof. Hunt of Ohio presented a resolution requesting the Secretary of Agriculture to have a revised edition of the hand book of experiment stations published, together with an index of department publications. Dr. Smart, chairman of the committee on nominations of officers for the ensuing year, presented the following names: For president, George T. Fairchild of Kansas; for vice presidents, M. H..Buckham, Ver- mont; James Wilson, Iowa; James Mc- Bryde, Virginia; Alfred Kingsbury, N. H.; J. E. Stubbs, Nevada@for secretary and tressurer, J. A. Washburn, Rhode Island; for executive committee, H. H. Goodell, Maseachusetts; H. C. White, Georgia; Alexis Cope, Ohio; T. J. Burrill, Iliinois; for bibliugrapher, A. C. True. The report was adopted and the gentlemen nominated elected without dissent. The executive committee reported on the resolution effered by Mr. Hamilton of Pennsylvania, requesting the Secretary of Agriculture to consider the need of practi- cal books on agriculture, and recommend- ed the appointment of a standing com- mittee on the subject. A moticn to @djourn was made by Presi- dent Atherton of Pennsylvania, who, in a happy speech, suggested that the delegates as they retired from the hall greet Senator Morrill, the father of the agricultural, col- Castoria For Infants and Children.

For half an hour Senator Morrill held an informal re- ception, taking each member of the conven- tion by the hand and receiving their con- gratulations on his good health and recent Te-election to the Senate. E The delegates then proceeded to the Na- tional Hotel, where they met the deiegates to the National Grange. At 1 o'clock the convention assembled in the east room of the White House ani were received by President Cleveland, i Yesterday's Section Meetings. The various sections met at 2 p.m. yes- terday and listened to papers on scientific agriculture. The section on agriculture and chemistry enjoyed a brief address from Dr. Salmon on the tuberculin test and the disinfection of cow barns. He said the test in the hands of competent men was sure and practically infallible. The disinfection of stables was, he thought, quite as essen- tial as to eradicate diseased animals. The stable should first be cleaned thoroughly of all dust, chaff, movable articles, rotten wood, ete., 80 that there might be no hiding place for disease germs. Then, with hot water, as far as applicable, he should clean the mangers, stanchions and other wood- work. Burning sulphur would then com- plete the task. Quality of Milk, Prof. Voorhees of New Jersey read a paper on the subject, “Should Milk Be Sold on the Basis of Quality?” He sald an in- vestigation had been made in New Jersey. Samples of milk, in number 106, were taken under various conditions in the four prin- cipal cities of the state. Milk was about the same price in all—eight cents per quart. Analysis showed eight clearly defined classes of milk. Some were so poor the buyer got only about two-thirds as much nutrition for his money when he bought the poorest of the grades examined as when he bought the best. Prof. Georgeson of Kansas read a paper on “How Milk May Be Sold at Retail on the Basis of Quality.” He said milk must be undiluted by water; free from preservative chemicals; free from dust and bacteria of any kind. The proportions of fat and other solids must be up to standard. The speaker thought the average consumer not able to determine the character of milk offered him. It is the duty of the city to attend to this matter for the people. He urged the pas: of laws requiring strict inspection of milk, stable and herds, and to enforce them closely. At the section of mechanic art the follow- papers were read: “Some Road Tests With a Bicycle Dynamometer,” by Charles A. Perkins, Knoxville, Tenn.; “The Me- chanic Arts in the Schools of the South,” by H. C. Powers, Lake City, Fla.; “Shop Training in Its Relation to Engineering Courses,” L. 8. Randolph, Blacksburg, Va. “Education in Mechanical Engineering and the Arts,” R. H. Thurston, Ithaca, N. ¥. The following were nominated for officers of the section the ensuing year: Charles H. Murkland, chairman; W. F. M. Moss, vice chairman; F. P. Anderson, secretary. Entomological Section. The entomological section met at the Department of Agriculture. Prof. W. G. Johnson of Maryland showed that use of germ diseases to check the ravages of the chinch bug has been, to a large ex- tent, a failure. Prof. Carl F. Baker of Alatama and Prof. Girald McCarthy of Nerth Carolina reported upon current. work at the experiment stations. The lat- ter reported the appearance of the San Jose scale on fruit trees at two or three localities in North Carolina. Prof. W. B. Atwood of Virginia made an exhaustive re- port on the San Jose scale in that state and gave the localities and limits of its spread. The subject was discussed by Dr. Howard of the Department of Agriculture and others. The section on college work discussed the question of exodus from the farm and what the colleges might do to discourage it, papers being presented by I. P. Rob- erts of New York and E. Davenport of Illinois. The section on horticulture and botany discussed a paper on the place in the cur- riculum of botany, time, phases of work in cag period and rejation to other subjects in the course, by L. H. Pammel of lowa, read by Prof. L. H. Bolley of North Da- kota, secretary of the section. A paper by E. S. Goff of Wisconsin on ‘Laboratory Methods in Teaching Horticulture” was also read, and S. C. Mason of Kansas sub-. mitted another on ‘Teaching of Industrial Horticulture in Agricultural Colleges.” Standing Committees. The appointment of the following -com- mittees was announced at the evening general session of the association: On changing the name of the association Chancellor McLean of Nebraska, Presi- dent Sylvester of Maryland, Director Lig- gat of Minnesota, Director Henry of Massa- chusetts and President Washburn of Rhode Island. On nominations—President Smart of In- diana, Director Neal of Delaware, Prof, Mell of Alabama, Chancellor McLean of Nebraska, President Koons of Connecti- cut, Direcior Henry of Wisconsin, President Holiaay of North Carolina, Major Alvord of Washington and Director Connell of Texas. On indexing agricultural literature—D: A. C. True, director of experiment stations, Department of Agriculture; W. P. Cutter, Mbrarian, Department of Agriculture; Prof. Hays of Minnesota; Dr. Armsby of Penn- sylvania, and Prof. Davenport of Illinois. Assistant Secretary Dabney of the De- partment of Agriculture addressed the as- sociation at length on what the department has accomplished in its scientific work. Mr. C. D. Smith of Michigan offered a resolution indorsing the idea of establish- ing the office of scientific director in the Department of Agriculture, to have su- pervision of all branches of scientific work under the government. Dr. A. C. True pre- sented a report of the work of the agricul- tural colleges of the United States, compar- ing it with what is being done in similar institutions in Europe, more particularly in Belgium, France and Germany. J. H. Brigham. the head of the grange, was introduced and made a brief 2ddress, in which ne stated that the grange is ‘in hearty sympathy with the agricultural col- leges and experiment stations." ; By request Mr. Albert Kingsbury of Dyr- ham, N. H., repeated the lecture and ex- periments on friction and.lubrication which he delivered before the section on mechanic arts Tuesday, and the results which he produced were loudly applauded. — The McKinley, Men Rode. Frank Harling and Edward Sweeney were profourdly confident that Mr. Bryan would be elected President, ind James Crocker and Charles De Grass were equally sure, of McKinley's triumph. There was a bet made to settle the controversy, and last night, while the rain Was pouring, Messrs. Har- ling and Sweeney pushed a four-wheeled decorated cart containing Me: Crocker and De Grass from the Pennsylvania depot by way of the avenue to the Treasury De- partnent and return. i ee To Prevent Building. Milton C, Mitchell, owner of the west 20 feet of lot 13, square 29, Old Georgetown, has filea a bill in equity against Morgan R.

The latter also asks for the removal of so much of the alleged encroaching wall as has been erected. Attorneys Samvel Maddox and Edward M. Cleary represent Mr. Mitchell. eS Se Morton Cadets Fatr The popularity of the fair of the Morton Cadets, now in progress in the National Rifles’ Armory, increases nightly. A large crowd was in attendance last evening, and everybody seemed to have a thoroughly good time. An addition to the decorations has been made in the way: of a large sign bearing the inscription, ‘Morton Cadets,” in_ fiery letters. The Washington Light Infantry, Corps will visit the fair this évening in’ d Body. The prizes won in the recent road race, of, the Washington Road Club will be present- ed at the fair Saturday evening. ——s List of Employes.

FOR DIPHTHERIA GERMS The Number of Cases That Have , Been Reported so Far. — THE CORONER’S OPINION ‘The Peabody School was closed today on account of the prevalence of diphtheria among the children, and the building will not be opened again until Monday morn- ing. Thus far eight cases of the disease among the children in this building have cccurred, and three have terminated fatal- ly. Yesterday there was one new case in the building. When Dr. Woodward learn- ed of this case he concluded that the build- ing should be thoroughly fumigated in or- der to prevent a further spread of the disease, and late in the afternoon he gave out the following statement: “In view of the discovery this aftérnoon of a new case of diphtheria among the pupils attending the Peabody School build- ing it has been deemed advisable to dis- infect the entire building. It may be reit- erated that the presence of the disease among those attending this building can- not be attributed to any insanitary con- dition existing in the building itself. If the cases of diphtheria which have oc- curred among the pupils have been con- tracted at school it has been because of the existence there of infective matter carried from some prior case of the dis- ease. From the nature of such matter it 1s impossible to determine by Inspec- tion whether it is present or not, and, if present, its location. The previous disin- fection included the rooms pointed out by the principal as those in which cases had then occurred, and the play rooms and other places. In view, however, of the more recent occurrence of cases in an- other room the entire building will now be disinfected. “Of course, even the most careful disin- fection by this department must neces- sarily be incomplete, because of the im- Possibility of disinfecting the bodies and clothing of the pupils and teachers, which may quite possibly be carrigrs of the con- tagion. It is desirable, therefore, that teachers and pupils attend to such disin- fection for themselv. Copies of instruc- tons as to the proper means of doing this .Will be sent to the school buildings in the morning, as soon as they can be prepared, where they can be had upon application after 10 o'clock. “I have requested the school authorities to close the building until Monday next.” Speaking to a Star reporter this morning Health Officer Woodward said there are no conditions here to cause alarm. One new case, near North Capitol and K streets, was reported this morning. Private Disinfection. Circular giving directions for the disin- fection of clothing by formaldehyde were sent out by the health officials this morn- ing. The directions are given as follows: “The garments should be suspended in a closet and the formaldehyde in shallow vessels, such as soup plates or saucers, placed under. them, and the door kept Ughtly closed for three or four days. For an ordinary closet five or six ounces of formol, formaline or formaldehyde is necessary.”” In investigating cases of diphtheria dur- ing the past few weeks the health officials have observed evidence of carelessness on part of parents and others in whose houses patients are under treatment. Un- der the laws governing the treatment of the cases only those who are actually en- gaged nursing the patients are supposed to go In the room, and they are supposed to disinfect their clothing each time they leave the room and go where they are kely to come in contact with others. Again some of the cases were diagnosed as membranous croup, and members of the family permitted to go in and out of the sick rooms at will. Under the law all cases of membranous croup are classed as diphtheria, and because of the careless- ness mentioned the health officials think the disease was allowed to spread as much as it has, Law Needed. As a matter of fact the law governing the disease 1s not what the health officials desire, and they think with an effective law, such as governs the smallpox, they would be able io repeat the good work done during the last smallpox epidemic. While the number of cases is not large there has peen enough to keep the two medical sanitary officers busy in making the necessary investigation, putting plac- ards on houses and then removing them from quarantine. The work of disinfecting the Peabedy School will require some time. Most of today’s time was spent in the school building closing the windows and doors in order to prevent the escape of the gases, and by Monday the building, it is thought, will be as pure from the germs of diphtheria as it was the day it was finished. Dr. Woodward's Letter. Concerning the Peabody School Dr. Wood- ward in his letter to the Commissioners yesterday said: “This department is keeping the Peabody School building under especial observation, and will promptly take whatever measures, if any, may be necessary to restrict the spread of diphtheria among the pupils attending there. The disease is, however, not so prevalent nor the danger as great as the public bas been caused to believe by reason, if rumor is to be believed, by the indiscreet statements and actions of some of the teachers at this building.” Teachers in the building deny that there was any foundation for rumors referred to by the health officer. They did ali they could to prevent any unnecessary scare, but at the same time they did what they could to prevent the spreading of the disease. When notices from the health office were received and the names were given of persons exposed to the disease the teachers did advise other pupils not to associate with such children. This they considered was their duty. The latest report of Surgeon General Walter Wyman of the marine hospital service shows that many cities in the United States are being visited by this dis- ease.
