...effect produced by the large number of facts presented is the feeling that it is high time the public again seriously consider the subject of the public school work. There is need of a higher degree of efficiency in teachers in many states, but there is still greater need of a keener appreciation on the part of the public of the teachers' work and the difficulties under which they labor. In general it may be said that every community has the kind of public schools that it deserves to have...
This was the second attempt made by Professor Trowbridge to obtain the desired effect with a Crooke's tube. The first attempt, made a few minutes before, was partly successful. The ordinary sixty-volt alternating current used for lighting the building was sent through the primary of an ordinary coil. The resistance of the primary of this coil is one-tenth of an ohm, and of the secondary 6000 ohms. The current through the primary was not stronger than 15 ampheres. The current from the secondary of the first coil was sent through the primary of 25 turns...
...current thus furnished to the coil being an alternating one, the appearance of the tube during action was somewhat different from that ordinarily described. The fluorescent effects were less sharply localized than usual. From the ease with which the photographic effect was obtained, it appears doubtful whether so complicated and powerful electrical apparatus was really necessary. It happened to be at hand and was therefore used. It is evident that the impression obtained on the plate is rather a print than a negative...
Whatever the cause is that produced the effect, it certainly worked through a thickness of wood which at one place was not less than one-half an inch. At other places the thickness of the wooden shield was only about one-eighth of an inch, but it is very difficult to distinguish on the plate the part that was covered by the extra thickness. It is evident that an effect would have been produced through more than one inch of solid wood...
...call attention to the fact that Thursday of this week is the annual Day of Prayer for Colleges? To one, a graduate of another institution where the day is always observed by special services, and has been a marked occasion many times in its history in its religious effect, it is a matter of regret that Harvard, the mother university of America. founded for the education of ministers of the Gospel, and the scene at present of so much practical religious activity, should ignore this day so generally observed and so rich a blessing in the past...
