CHEMISTRY DEPT. REQUIRES
BIG SUPPLY OF MATERIALS
In the chemistry department over
40,000 test tubes of just one size have
been used since January 1.
This includes a shipment received
about the first of the year and one
that is on the way at present. The
tubes received since the war began
have either come from Japan or were
made in America. These tubes are
more brittle than the European make
but now that the war is over it is ex-
pected that either the methods of Eu-
rope will be brought to America, or
manufacture of these articles will be
resumed across the Atlantic.'
Other information from the dis-
pensing department, from which the
above data was secured shows that
the amount of acids used in one
school year amount to 3,600 pounds of
chemically pure hydroch'loric acid,
3,600 pounds of chemically pure sul-
phuric acid, 2,500 pounds of chemi-
cally pure nitric acid, and 2,800
pounds of ammonia.
There are at preseut 1,100 or 1,200
students in the chemical department,
:a number that has filled up the de-
partment. Next year there is promise
of an overflow.
GERMAN MINISTRY DECREES
BUSTS OF KAISER BE OUSTED
Cobenz, May 5-According to German
newspapers published in the unoccu-
pied districts beyond the American
bridgehead many schoolmasters dur-
ing the revolution removed the busts
of the emperor and the crown prince
which decorated their class rooms.
Sometime afterward the busts were
restored to their places but recently
the Ministry of Education has ordered
them down again.
There was also a proposal to change
the names of all streets in Germany
named in honor of royalties. This has
been met by the press with some hi-
larity and suggestions that there were
more important topics for discussion
just now than that of the names of
the streets.
