strongest support to the movement to se

making that exposition a aucceaa If held lu

Unqualified promises have been made by
official of theas roads to C. C. Rosewater,
chairman of the executive committee of the
National Corn exposition, and Prof. J.
Wilkes Jenex, secretary of the National
Corn Growers' association, who spent a
day It Chicago In conference with theso
11 road men. Mr. Rosewater. upon his re
turn to Omaha, said they found the trans
portation officials not only willing, but ex
tremely anxious, to lend a hand in this
tvork. In fact, they were so enthusiastic
over It that they even spoke of It as thelt
work.
These are the officials whom Mr. Rose
water and Mr. Jones met and who entered
so aealously Into ths plans for this enter
ITlse: Ben P. Wlnchell, president of the
"Rock. Island; Darius Miller, first vice presi

"Wo not only found that the railroads
are willing to do what they can to promote
the exposition, but that they feel that It It
iot a local proposition, but one in which
the railroads are quit as much Interested
ks the peoplo of Omaha," said Mr. Rose
water. They regard the fact that large
premiums will bo offered to mako It an In
ducement for the farmers along their lines
to mako every .possible effort to produce
a better quality of corn and other cereals,
will be an Immense permanent and sub
etantial benefit.
"E. C. Nettles, assistant general freight
gent of the Milwaukee, ssld the compar
ison of their freight books ahowed that the
largest amount of grain had. been shipped
from place where the special corn trains
of two years ago had drawn the largest
crowds. With the railroads, It Is not. a
matter of sentiment, but a matter of busi
ness, because they recognise that an Im
provement In the quality of corn means
larger shipments.
"Darius Miller, first vice president of the
able for work, along this line, so that a spe-
Isl man will be secured, who will put In
iiis time to Interest farmers along the line.
Special attention will bo paid to the meet
ings where farmers ' congregate, such as
Jive stock sales, farmers' Institutes, county

"President Harahan of the Illinois Cen
tral Immediately called In Mr. Hansen,
passenger traffic manager of his road,
and advlaed him that It was their Inten
tion that tha Illinois Central should not
be second In its work In favor ot th ex
position. ' Prof. Jones made an appoint
ment for Monday of next week to take up
matters in detail with Mr. Hansen, but It
la already thoroughly understood that the
Illinois Central will put out efficient men
to organise for the exposition. In addition
to this, their advertising department will
supplement the advertising of the publicity
committee.
"W. A. Gardner, vice 'president ot the
Northwestern, at one said that they were
deeply concerned In the National Corn ex
position, aa It means th development of
the agricultural country, through which
their line passes. He volunteered to de
tail one or more of their men to cover
their linn In th work of organisation.
They will make a personal campaign to
Interest the grain growers In making ex
hibits and In attending.
"W. B. Knlskern, passenger traffic man
ager of the Northwestern, was very much
Interested In knowing that the exposition
was to be held In Omaha, and stated that
ho regarded It aa th logical place for the
exposition. Ho ststed:
Too Maay Talagra la Chicago.
" There are so many counter attractions
In Chicago that people Ik Chicago will not
put forth tho energy that ?!. Omaha clti
ena will display in arousing interest In
this project. I know what the agricultural
school at Ames Is doing, because it la lo
cated on our lino and anything that Prof.
Holden and .Tones undertake I am willing
to back up through my department.'
"President Earllng of the Milwaukee was
In California, but Mr. F. A. Nash of
Omaha, general western agent, had already
taken up the matter with him before he
left on his trip. Mr. Earllng told Mr. Nssh
that th Milwaukee would do aa much. If
not mora, than any other road. Mr. 8ewll,
aealatant to the president, went over the
proposition and now has . the matter in
hand of working out a plan In conjunction
with C. 8. Toung, manager of the advertis
ing department, to give the widest powlble
publicity to the exposition.
Officials of the Union Pacific have
given the management of the exposition
assurance that the. Union Pacific Is in
sympathy with the work and will put their
shoulders to the wheel.

"The decidedly encouraging features of
the railroad officials Interviewed, were the
attitude of each and every man connected
with the executive management of the rail
roads took with regard to the National
Corn exposition. They did not have to be
urged. It was merely a question of how
they could give their assistance most effec
tively. There was nothing half-hearted
about their promises of co-operation. They
regarded the exposition as a matter of
extreme Importance to their roads. The
co-operation of th roada means that the
exposition will be advertised andpushed
along every trunk and branch line of the
railroad that center In Omaha In direct
co-operation with th management of the
exposition.
"Her la the point: It will be like having
Just as many energetic and skilled travel
ing agents of the National Corn exposition
In the field at work as there are roads
entering Omaha and that at the expense
of the railroads."

AN EPOCH IN HIGHER EDUCATION

A very Important action, which may be
said to mark an epoch in the higher edu
cation In America, waa taken at the ninth
annual conference of the Association of
American Universltlea at Ann Arbor, on
Thuraday, January 9. Thl action waa th
adoption of 1 standard to which universi
ties not now members of the .association
must conform before being admitted to
membership. Such a step may not, at first
sight, seem very Important or very algnlfl
cant. say the Cornell News. Its linpor
tance and algnlflrance, of course, depend
on the value to be attached to membership
In the association. Recent eventa make
auch membership. In fact, highly desirable.
Tho action of the association will amount
In effect to a standardisation of the Ameri
can university. The standard adopted may
bo better understood if the circumstances
which led the association to take such a
atep are first told.
Tho Association of American Universities
consisted, when the recent conference as
sembled, of the following Institutions: The
University of Cellfornla,' tho University, of
Chicago, the Catholic University of Amer
ica, Clark university. Columbia. Cornell.
Harvard, Johns Hopkins. Michigan, Penn
sylvania, Princeton. Stanford, Virginia,
Wisconsin and Tale. H , was organised
about nine years ago, and at first con
cerned itself largely and almost exclusively
with matters relating to graduate schools.
From year to year Its deliberations were
extended to broader questions of educa
tional policy and Its membership was In
creased. At the eighth conference, held in Cam
bridge, Mass., In November. lSuSt a com
mrtteo on the aim and scope of the asaocla
Oon waa appointed. It consisted of the
representatives of Harvard. Cornell, Penn
sylvania, Columbia and Wlaconsln. Presi
dent Eliot of Harvard waa the chairman of
this committee. It referred to a subcom
mittee the work of drawing up a report.
Of this subcommittee President Schurman
was chairman. Dr. Schurman wrote th
report. It was signed by his fellow mem
bers on the committee, snd It was unani
mously adopted by the association.
Tho committee's report, in part, follows:
"Hitherto this association has made the
existence of a strong graduate department
th sole condition of membership. Your
committee believe that if the association
ia to undertake aa they think it should
undertake the standardization of American
universities, another criterion should also
bo enforced. Th policy contemplated has
to do with the conditions of admission to
professional courses. Your, committee are
of tho opinion that the beat American uni
versltlea will In tho future rest their pro
fessional courses on a basis of college work.
wnicn snsii rsnge from ono to four vn
and that the professional student will spend
at least five or six years in atudv from
the day he matriculate In the college to
me nay he receives his professional degree
Tour committee accordingly recommend
that the association adopt as a second
criterion for memberalao the reaulrement
ef on or more years of college work aa a
prerequisite for admission to nmfninn.i
courses, the combination being o arranged
that no professional degree shall bo given
until the satisfactory completion of at least
iiv year ot study. -
"Tho Ideal of your committee Is the
combination of thl requirement with the
present requirement of a strong . sraduate
school ss a condition for membership In
n-rn association. But they recognize that
a strict enforcement of both requirements
might work substantial hardship at the
present time. Nevertheless they think that
in universities which have professional
schools and a graduate department u i
not too much to ask at the present time
that th graduate department ahall be at
least creditable and that the arte and
technical work prescribed for professional
degreea In at least one professional school
shall not be less than five years. It Is
the thought of your committee that If this
duals standard of admission be now ac
cepted by the association tt may be possi
ble to enforce It with increasing strictness
as the years go by."

Perhaps th best example of a modem
kindergarten to be found in New Tork
City is afforded by the Frances Dana
Archbold Walcott branch, at No. &4 West
Forty-second street. This Is housed In s
handsome building which waa given as a
memorial to his daughter by John D. Arch
bold, vie president of tho Standard Oil
company. Besides serving as tho home of
this branch It contains the administrative
headquarter of the New York Kinder
garten association.
Th children who enjoy the benefits of
tho work of the West Forty-second street
branch are chiefly from "Hell's Kitchen"
district, and though many of them live In
dire poverty, you would go far before you
would find a company of little one with
more shining morning faces and more
neat, though often very poor, clothing than
that which gather every school morning
at the doora of No. U4. They are usually
there at S:30 o'clock, brought by mother
or elder sisters, although the sessions do
not begin before t o'clock.
No wonder they are so Interested aa to
be more than punctual In attendance. In
the two spacioua, well lighted rooms de
voted to kindergarten work, they apend
their mornings In games with sweet-faced,
gentle-voiced teachers, who likewise show
them wonderful green and growing things;
who Introduce them to the mystery of the
caterpillar which change into a gorgeous
butterfly if you watch him long enough
and th children do who introduce them
to th fascinating chameleons, which oblig
ingly change color for the amusement snd
instruction of their little friends; snd who
Inculcate lessons of kindness to animals by
permitting them to handle and feed rabbits
In the fashion beloved by children of all
conditions and claases.
Not ths least of the attractions of the
kindergarten. In th opinion of th children,
la th luncheon of milk and cracker which
is served each warning at 10:30 o'clock,
gore of theui imver last milk at any
other time, thslr mother preferring to give
them tea, coffee, or even beer at the
family meal, and In the hard times it
sometime happens that this raneheoa is
th child's first meal of ths day.

When she waa 7 years old she was given
Into the care of Misa Sullivan, and It was
through her painstaking efforts that th'
wonderful gifts since shown 'ly Helen Kel

Since her marriage with him. she has lived
at -Miss Kellar's home, and it Is there that
the first Intimation of her blindness was
made known to her.
Dr. Enoch Henry Currier, -superintendent
of the New York Institute for the Deaf and
Dumb Is reported as saying that the sad
coincidence of Mrs. Macy' affliction with
blindness after serving so long as a teacher
of one similarly unfortunate, has no scien
tific significance. It Is merely a coinci

Iaet week there were sent out by the
University of Iowa twelve more boxes
of bone to be used by high schools In
teaching physiology. Each year the medi
cal department at the university gets to
gether about twelve sets of bones from
the human skeleton. They are pin-kcd
In neat boxes and are loaned for an in
definite period to high schools in tho
order In which they make application.
These bones are very helpful In teaching
anatomy, and about forty high schools
are on the waiting list as applicants for
sets.
The University of Iowa has' published
an attractive 'oup of rlctures of Its
larger buildings. The pictures are printed
on very heavy calendered paper, about
2x4 feet. In the center is the old capi
tol, and surrounding It arc twelve of
the other buildings. These groups will
be framed with a glass over them and
distributed among high schools of thu

President George E. Maclean of the
State University of Iowa has Just re

vancement of Industrial Education. At
a preceding meeting of the National As

tee was appointed to promote the estab
lishment of a national university. This
committee ronslHted of President James
of Illinois, 1'renldent Thompson of Ohio
and President Baker of Colorado unl
verslty. Tills committee reported to the
meeting of the association, which lins just
closed, a bill which will be presented to
congress for an act to create a national
university at the seat of federal govern
ment. With the sentiment whii h seems
to exist in favor of such action, tt seems
probable that this bill will become a law
President Pritchett of the Carnegie
foundation and President Elliott, chairman
of Its board of trustees, were present at
the meeting of the National Association
or btate Universities, and an extenslvt
conference was held between this asso.
elation and these representatives of the
Carnegie foundation. The benefits. of the
Carnegie foundation have not as yet been
extended to state universities. The com
mittee of the National association pre
sented two requests: First, that state
universities be given the benefit of the
Carnegie foundation fund just as other
Institutions of lesrntng. Second, If the
first request be not granted, allow the
tate universities -to receive this benefit
for the period of flfpeen years. The state
universale xntend;ed. that their support
from the state should not put them In a
separate class, and that- the cause of
teaching wouid be -advanced Just as ef
fectually by pensioning professors retir
ing from the state universities as those
retiring from any other Institution of
learning. Neither request waa granted.

With the temporary decline of the study
of Greek tti the part of those fitting for
college, the Miss Wolcott school of Denver
has placed a valuable course in its currf
culum. This is the study ot Greece, In
cluding its literature, Its history, its art,
Ha government, its rules snd its Influence
upon the world; everything, in fact per
taining to the country, except the language.
Thle course Is most valuable, and Is given
in such spirit of appreciation of all which
that marvelous country afforded, that It
makes a most Instructive and delightful
course of study.

of a rare order of merit.
