...policy of studying only those subjects which fit the undergraduate for his career losses sight of an important reason for a university education. If college were merely an apprenticeship for business it is just as well to supplant them with up to date high-geared schools of specialization turning out standardized products. The College does, or should, put into the world men with a well-rounded knowledge of one subject and broadened by a liberal acquaintance with others.

The Farlow Herbarium with its already large collections, will chiefly benefit by these, as well as the Gray Herbarium and the Arnold Arboretum. In addition, much material will be available for exchange with other universities and museums, on both sides of the Atlantic. But more than the mere specimens, science will gain new knowledge of habits of growth, distribution, and other factors. It is expected the results of the expedition will provide a basis for several publications on taxonomy and ecology of the cryptogams

Privy Fuel. Into underground tanks, similar to his up-to-date farm privy, let the farmer dump his field debris-straw, stalks, husks. They will ferment and produce methane (marsh) gas. Twenty pounds of pulped debris will develop 100 cu. ft. of gas, enough to light and heat the average farm house for a day. Corn stalks from 40 acres will give a winter's supply of gas. After the gas is exhausted the sediment in the tank can be purified and made into paper.-Illinois' Arthur Moses Buswell...
