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.

"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 rsirs and chautauquas. Farmers will not n!y be urged to send exhibits to the expo Itlon. but also be Interested to appreciate :' value of attending.

The Burlington has no one Immediately avail "President Wlnchell of ths Rock Island eald It was the policy of his road not to do anything which would -benefit one city as opposed to another, but that they re garded the National Com exposition as a benefit to the entire population along the line, and whether the hivuIIImi In Chicago.

"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. Kvery Maa la for It. "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."

SCHOOL AND COLLEGE WORK Plans for the Standardization American Unireriitiei. of AN EPOCH IN HIGHER EDUCATION Life la a Xew York Kladergartea Helea Kellar's Teaeher Loslag Her Eyralsht- Edaea tloaal Xote. 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." A Sew York Kladergartea. 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.

Helea Kellar's Teaeher. Ths faithful snd famous teacher of Helen Keller is herself th victim of a pathetic mlafortune. A cataract haa developed in her eyes, dangerous at any time, but al most 1 to pries when It evinces Itself in late yeara of life. Th public know a much of Ann Sullivan, now Mrs. John Albert Macy. a It does of Helen Kellsr, the famoua deaf and blind girl, whose sccorapllshments. In spite of her afflictions, have astonished tbo world. In darkness snd in silence Helen Kellsr sst until she wss 7 years old. No way to reach tha outside world seemed possible for ber to tbo who hsd tho ear of the Utile one who had lot the primary" senses of communication with her fellos. namely hearing and sight. 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 lar were given a method of expression to the outside world. It was due to Miss Sul livan's conscientious work with hrr pupil that Miss Kellar waa enabled to tak the degree of A. Ft. from Radrltffe college. It waa while the blind girl was a etudent thrjVthat Miss Sullivan met Mr. Macy. tlien an Instructor at Harvard university. 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 dence, such as sometime manifests Itself In the Investigations of therapeutics. Iowa l alreralty evra. 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 state. President George E. Maclean of the State University of Iowa has Just re turned from Chicago, where he has been attending two notable meetings. One was a meeting of the -National Association of State Universities, the other was a meet ing of the National Society for the .Ad vancement of Industrial Education. At a preceding meeting of the National As solvation of State Universities a commit 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. Th' Mia Walcott School. 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. The senior class has every year devoted much time of the closing two or three months of the year to an Interpretative study of one of Shakespeare's plays. Each year one play la given at Elitch s Gardens, In connection with the competitive field sports of the various classes.
