Estimation  of  the  amount  of  chlorine  in  the  chlorinated  lime  is 
of  the  utmost  importance  and  the  method  for  doing  this  is  simplicity 
itself.  One  may  use  the  method  given  in  the  U.  S.  Pharmacopoeia, 
or  the  following,  which  is  the  one  mentioned  by  Carrel  in  his  note 
to  the  Journal  A.  M.  A.,  December  9,  191 6,  p.  1777,  and  which  note 
is  printed  in  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy,  February,  1917, 
p.  84: 
"  Weigh  out  20  grammes  of  the  average  sample,  mix  it  as  com- 
pletely as  possible  with  1  liter  of  ordinary  water  and  leave  it  in 
contact  for  a  few  hours,  agitating  it  from  time  to  time.  Filter. 
"  Measure  exactly  with  the  gaged  pipette  10  mils  of  the  clear 
fluid ;  add  to  it  20  mils  of  a  I :  IX)  solution  of  potassium  iodide  and  2 
mils  of  acetic  or  hydrochloric  acid.  Drop  a  drop  at  a  time  into  this 
mixture  a  decinormal  solution  of  sodium  thiosulphate  until  decolor- 
ation is  complete. 
"The  number  of  mils  of  the  thiosulphate  solution  required  for 
complete  decoloration,  multiplied  by  1.775,  gives  the  weight  of  the 
active  chlorine  contained  in  100  grammes  of  the  chlorinated  lime." 
A  WELL-EQUIPPED  COLLEGE  OF  PHARMACY. 
By  Henry  Kraemer. 
Pharmacy,  like  every  other  profession,  requires  for  its  just  rec- 
ognition by  the  public  at  large  that  all  of  its  educational  institutions 
shall  be  properly  manned  and  fully  equipped  with  everything  that 
will  make  for  the  highest  development  of  pharmacy  at  the  present 
time.  While  this  is  true,  the  only  way  that  this  uniform  progress 
can  be  attained  is  by  the  signal  advancement  of  either  some  one 
school  or  college  as  a  whole,  or  some  one  of  their  departments. 
There  is  no  question  but  that  the  progress  in  one  school  is  advan- 
tageous to  every  other,  as  every  other  school  is  desirous  of  not  being 
found  lagging.  I  think  that  this  broad  spirit  characterizes  educa- 
tors in  their  work.  He  who  would  begrudge  any  institution  of  its 
having  attained  preeminence  and  a  vantage  point  which  is  deserving 
of  the  felicitations  of  the  best  men  and  women  shows  a  mean  spirit 
and  is  not  deserving  of  a  place  among  the  world's  educators.  It 
was  with  a  great  deal  of  satisfaction  that  I  visited  the  College  of 
Pharmacy  of  the  University  of  Minnesota  last  winter,  and  saw  its
