$26,850 FOR FELLOWSHIPS
THIS AMOUNT USED IN LAST TWO YEARS.
University Profits Much by Prof Duncan's Industrial Investigation—Free Instruction.
That the industrial fellowship idea is bringing money to the University from the East in large quantities to be spent on scientific research is shown in a report made public by Prof. Robert Kennedy Duncan this week. According to the report no less than $26,850 has been placed in the hands of Professor Duncan in the last two years for expenditure in the work of the fellowships. The amounts were given as follows:
For the eleven industrial fel lowships, $20,350.
Optical company's prize, $100.
Ozone plant, $500.
W. R. Nelson prize, $200.
National Laundry Machine Co. plant for commercial electrolysis $200.
Establishment of bureau of research for an eastern corporation $2,500.
Investigation of camphor growing in Jamaica, $2,000.
Gifts of apparatus, traveling expenses of fellows, etc., more than $1,000.
This work is a source of actual profit to the University, says Professor Duncan't report. The University has spent some money for material and for necessary permanent apparatus. But this expense has been more than offset by the interest on the fellowship money in the hands of the University treasurer, and by free gifts from the donors of the fellowships and others, outside of the fellowship money.
Besides the money balance in the University treasurer, resulting from the fellowship, the department of chemistry profits by thirty hours of free instruction each week, kiven by the industrial fellows, all of whom are trained men.
"From the knowledge of the matter which I now possess, I can say that there is no apparent reason why the amount coming to the University in this way should not readily be trebled," says Professor Duncan. "I have found in the Universities both here and abroad an intense interest in the department and an eagerness or the part of the best research workers to obtain the fellowships at my disposal."

THE Y. W. C. A. CLASSES
New Plans Formulated for This Term.
The Young Women's Christian Association has planned a particularly interesting schedule of class-work for this term. Several new classes are being organized to meet some of the special needs of University people. Noteworthy among these is a course of six lectures offered by Prof. Blackmar on "Social Service in Town and Rural Communities," as practical course, designed to bring home to the student some of the principles of sociology in their relation to actual conditions in his own community. The class will meet in Prof. Blackmar's lecture room in Fraser hall Thursday at 30, beginning March 3.
A general course in mission work, following Robert A. Hume's "Mission from the Modern View," will be given Monday afternoons at 4:30 by Mrs. A. M Wilcox. This class will meet at Mrs. Wilcox' home, 1605 Vermont street.
The class which was organized last fall under Miss Nourse to study Henry Churchill King's "Rational Living," will be reorganized with any new members, who wish to join, under Professor Wileox. Professor Wileox will meet the class Monday, March 7 at 4:30 in the classical museum. But the newest departure in association classwork is a course planned especially for the girls who are preparing to teach English in the high school. Selections from the Old Testament are now included in the list of classies for the high school English course, and as at present there is no University course which gives adequate training for that work. Professor Schwegler consented to give a course of seven lectures on the literature, interpretation and methods of teaching of these parts of the Old Testament. Professor Schwegler's class is scheduled for Wednesday at 3:30, but on account of conflicts a change will be made in the time which will be announced later.
Anyone desiring to enroll in these classes is urged to see Miss Ruth Jackson, chairman of the Bible study committee (1235 Tennessee street, Bell 1759), or Miss Marguerite Bliss, chairman of the mission suity committee, 1145 Louisiana street, Bell 1160.
Indiana is considering plans for changing or doing away with the spring vacation. The school year is coming to be so crowded that some changes are becoming imperative.

--ducts of the mines.
In the introduction of his address on "Academic Efficiency," Richard C. Machaurin, president of the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, said that he was more impressed by the points of similarity between the Universities of the West and the technical school of the East than by their differences. In speaking of the comparisons in investigations of technical institutes he said that the cost of the training of the student was not sufficient to determine its value.
President Maclaurin emphasized the "do it yourself" method of instruction used in his school as producing the best results. To secure efficiency, President Maclaurin emphasized,it was essential that the character of teachers should be such that they could successfully convey their broad views and outlook to their students.
In his discussion of "The Relation of Geology and Mining to Industrial Arts," Ernest R. Buckley president of the American Mining congress, presented an interesting array of facts concerning past and present and gave an optimistic view of the future. He said seventy-five per cent of the value of manufactured products come from the value of the raw pro
In speaking of the conservation of natural resources, President Buckley favored any movement against much prevailing extravagance, but he emphasized especially the fact that the attempt to diminish the waste in mining might cause an increase in the price of the raw product beyond its profitable use in manufacturing. He advocated that special attention be given to the developing of new materials and the utilization of new forces to secure power and heat. Research is the all prevailing need of the hour maintained President Buckley
