- GREEK AND LATIN | | - New School to Teach Modern! NEW BRITAIN DAILY HERALD, SATURDAY, JANUARY 20, 1917. NOTICE TO THE PUBLIC! — —————SANITARY SERVICE { { OMMENCING Monday, ice cream and soda at the Dickinson Drug Company will be served in sanitary paper cups. -The Dickinson Drug Company, the largest of its kind in the city, is the first firm to abolish the use of glassware in serving ice cream and soda. The managers of the company have been considering the ad- visability of using paper cups for some time, but not until they had read a government report, issued by the United States public health service, did they decide to make the change. The cups and retainers to be used are furnished by the Strathmore Company, pioneers in sanitary devices for soda fountain and ice cream service. The cups are made from clean white rice paper and appeal to the most fastidious. They are not covered with gum of paraffine and arc not distasteful to the user. The government report cites a test made by Prof. Alva Davison of Layfayette college, in which 10 students apply the upper lip in the same way, when drinking, to pieces of flat sterilized glass. These slips of glass were then microscopically examined and showed an average of about 100 human cells or minute bits of skin, and 75,000 bacteria to each slip. The report warns the pub- lic that tubercular, tonsilar and purulent mouth diseases, as well as acute typhoid and scarlet fever, can be con- tracted from the use of glasses, even though concerns make a sincere effort to thoroughly sterilize them. The use of paper qups is more economical, as well as sanitary, and will increase the efficiency of the service. The Dick- inson Drug Company is considering the spoon proposition, but for the present silver spoons will be used. After these have been used they are put in boiling hot water and left there for a period of time and thendried before being used again.

Teachers College, Columbia Univer- sity, is the institution which has been selected for carrying out the far- reaching experiment, and the amount of money behind it is, as a member of the board expressed it yesterday, “whatever it costs.” Tnasmuch as the resources af the general education board are about $35,000.000, provided by John D. Mockefeller, the financial question fs " a subordinate one. The director of the school, which will begin its first session next fall, is Dr. Otis W. Caldwell of the University of Chicaga, who is to become a mem- ber of the Teachers College faculty as professor of education. As Dr. Flex- ner explained the proposition yester- day, the experiment marks a real try- ing-out of the ‘“‘modern school” idea ‘ which is, he added, “a school which will strive ta eliminate the deadwood, { Paris, Jan. 20, 4:55 a. m.—Section ! number eight of the American am- bulance fleld service and William Meadoweroft of New York, a Har- I vard graduate, mentioned army orders as follows: are in “This section, which has since been attached to the sixteenth division, has rendered a great service in trans- porting wounded under difficult and often dangerous circumstances.
