...Colleges and Preparatory Schools of the Middle States and Maryland will be held at Philadelphia Friday and Saturday of next week under the auspices of the University of Pennsylvania. There will be three general topics discussed. These are: (1) The question whether the higher education of women should differ from that of men, (2) the way American universities and schools should best prepare men for public service, and (3) oratory and debating.

Instead of using a spectroscope with a slit, in which but one star is photographed at a time, large prism is placed over the object glass of the telescope and thus spectra of all the bright stars in the field of view are obtained. The number of stars photographed simultaneously is still further increased by substituting for the object glass a portrait lens like that used by photographers, only larger...
