6 s CHANGES ARE MADE AT BLISS SCHOOL Buildings Renovated and Ap- paratus in Shops Put in First-Class Shape. The opening of the Bliss Electrical Bchool on September 30 will see many changes in buildings, equipment and courses of instruction. During the Summer all of the build- ings have been completely renovated and the mechanical and electrical ap- paratus and machinery in the shops; all put in first-class condition. The course of electrical engineering has been improved with additional sub- Jects, and new equipment reflecting re- cent developments in electrical research, and the study of vacuum tubes, the photo-electric cell, new types of light- ning arresters, automatic telephony and interconnecting relays in power sys- tems has been included. The facuity, headed by Louis D. Bliss, consists of | 17 men, all graduates of the school. Mr. Bliss, who founded the school in 1893, was an engineer with the old parent Edison company, in the pioneer days of the electrical industry, when he conceived the idea of a school where men who were unable to attend four- year colleges might gain a sufficient knowledge of the fundamentals of elec- trical engineering to enable them to earn a good livelihood. In those days many of the now familiar applications of electricity were either undreamed ! of or still in an experimental stege. Alternating currents, made possible | through the perfection of the trans- former, were just beginning their work of replacing ‘96 per cent of direct- curreny apparatus. Incandescent light- ing had but recently progressed from the experimental stage to an assured commercial success, and the industry was just beginning to demand trained workers to handle the many diverse applications of electricity. Undertaking Progresses. Prof. Bliss determined to train some of these workers, and in spite of op- position and the many obstacles that attend the founding of such a project, the undertaking has progressed steadily for more than a third of a century. In this insvitution young men are pro- vided with a comprehensive yet con- densed course in electrical engineering that can be completed by the student of average ability in one college year. ‘The Bliss Electrical School is neither a trade school nor a college. It is a special technical school. concentrating | upon engineering essentials and giving the student a maximum training in a minimum time. Men come to the Bliss Electrical School each vear from al- most every State in the Union and from many foreign countries. The school has graduated more than 6,000 students. ‘The plan of combining practical in- struction with theory prevails at the school. ‘The underlying principles of electrical apparatus are first taught by means of lectures, supplemented by charts and wherever possible by ap- aratus in actual operation. These lectures, supplemented by the study of text books, reviews and conferences, bring out every detall of the subjects discussed. Practice Follows Theory. Theory is closely fcllowed by pra tice. the drafiing department the studor® ‘ecrns the princivles of eng necring Gre with _s»>ciel refcrence to electrical work, while the solution cf | electrical problems in connection with | both direct and alternating current ap- paratus is taken up in the mathematics department. The student builds direct and alternating current motors and generators in the machine department and has a thorough training in the use of lathes, boring mills and other ma- chinery employed in the complete man- ufacture of electrical apparatus as en- countered in electrical manufacturing establishments. the department of electrical tests students measure losses and locate de- fects in electrical machinery. They in- stall various methods of wiring in a skeleton building in the laboratory of the new wiring department. In the| center of this department is a two- story skeleton frame structure repre- =enting a modern house which students wire While the nature of the course keeps the student well occupiei he has an portunity for athleti’s in tennis and basket ball.

Having gradu- ated the largest class in its history last | June, Dean Grace Hays Riley believes indications point to another capacity enrollment for the coming year. ‘The college was organized in 1896 in response to the desire of women to en- ter the legal professiog. At that 'z:e the law collegfs here refused them ad- mittance. While incorporated pri- marily to assiit women, it has always | been co-educational, and today more than 70 per &ent of its students are men. ‘The college occupies its own build- ing at 2000 G street. The class rooms are large and bright, with a capacity of 100~ students each. A tea room, b room and a practical working library of 4,000 volumes are at the dis- posal of the students. Both morning and evening classes are held. Two years ago, in response to a popular demand, morning classes were established, and this year a full | schedule will be held in the freshman, Jjunior and senior classes of both morn- ing and evening divisions.

INDIAN PRINCES ENTER UNIVERSITY OF HAWAII Two Sons of Rajah of Pilibhit Study Methods of Raising Cane and Milling Raw Sugar. HONOLULU (Special) —Two of Indie’s fabulously wealthy princelings have enrolled in the University of Hawalii for courses which will familiar- ize them with hoeing sugar cane and turning it into raw sugar granules, work which is largely handled by unskilled labor, ‘They are Prince K. K. Chandra, 19 years old, and Prince R. K. Ragubir, 16, sons of the Rajah of Pilibhit, near the border of Nepal in Northern India. They have come for four years' study in sugar technology at the University of Hawali, which is regarded as one of the world's leaders in this particular branch of instruction. The Rajah of Pilibhit operates two sugar factories and foresees opportunity in his remote principality for much larger development of this industry. B0 he has sent his sons to perfect themselves in methods of raising cane and milling the raw sugar.

Complles 2,500 Symbols. In connection with the preparation of his dictionary he has compiled all of the different symbols displayed in the available Mayan codice: ere in excess of 2,300, and which are accompanied by a hundred or more of the secondary elements of signifi- cance upon which he lays stress, and classified them to demonstrate the quality of each symbol, either indi- vidually or when used in combination with others. Each symbol or combi- nation of symbols has been provided with#@n index number and arranged in groups, with an accompanying index showing where the symbol or combina- | tion may be found in the codex from | which it was taken. | The dictionary contains more than | 6.000 references. To the brief list of Maya symbols, the significance of which | has been known since the sixteenth | century, Dr. Gates has added many new ones, with a concordance which is based upon a succinct anelysis of every case and the association of va- rious symbols with others.
