STANDARD SAMPLE OF PHOSPHATE ROCK The Committee on Phosphate Rock, Division of Fertilizer Chemists, American Chemical Society, has received a number of requests from chemists interested in the analysis of phosphate rock for a standard sample of this material. I n response to these requests the Committee has decided to adopt as a tentative standard a sample of phosphate rock on which a large number of results have been obtained in cooperative work by members of this Division under the direction of the Committee. The average results obtained in this cooperative work will be furnished with this sample and while these results may not be absolutely correct, yet they are undoubtedly very close to the truth, as they represent an average of the best results obtained, most of them from analysts specializing in this line with the elimination of obviously erratic results. This standard should serve to bring about a greater uniformity in results, both b y enabling those interested to check the work of analysts, as well as by enabling the individual analyst to check his own work with a sample of known composition. Samples may be obtained from Mr. C. F. Hagedorn, -4rmour Fertilizer Works, Union Stock Yards, Chicago, Illinois, by enclosing 25 cents to cover cost of packing, mailing, etc. F. B. CARPENTER, Chairman of Committee on Phosphate Rock

ritories, Insular Possessions of the United States and the Commissioners of the District of Columbia, as well as 30 societies, were further included in these committees by specially appointed representatives, numbering 124 in all. I n March, 1911,the Government of the United States sent formal invitations to all the governments of the world to join in this Congress. Twenty-eight foreign governments accepted and sent a total of 107 delegates. In 18 countries separate organizing committees were formed or organizers were installed, containing upwards of 573 individuals (not allowing for duplications, which probably did not exceed IO per cent.), and 55 societies and educational institutions. The Executive Committee of this Congress especially invited I ,483 different technical, scientific and trade societies and educational institutions the world over to join the Congress. Two hundred and thirty-seven in 28 different countries accepted this invitation and appointed 348 delegates. The total working force in the interests of this Congress the world over amounted therefore to not less than 2,000 individuals (not allowing for duplications, which probably did not exceed IO per cent.), 392 societies and educational institutions, and 75 governments (including State governments of the United States). On the publicity side the American Committee placed upon its mailing list 438 trade, technical and scientific publications the world over, and all were supplied with the various publications and appropriate news items from time to time.

(a) 86 papers, or 11 per cent. of the total, were not in any way presented t o the Congress and were therefore of no interest whatever t o it.
(6) 172 papers, or 22 per cent. of the total, were carried over from the assigned program because of the absence of the author or his representative. (c) Of these 25 resolutions 9 were laid before the Congress by the Commission of International Congresses of Applied Chemistry; the remaining 16 failed t o
be so brought up for final action because of the failure of their sponsors t o attend t o the necessary details required by the constitution and by-laws of the Congress. TABLE11-SUMMARYOF

(118sectional meetings and 28 joint meetings), various details in connection with which are given in Table I.

About 48 per cent. of the papers presented in Sectional meetings were discussed and about 53 per cent. of the papers presented a t joint-meetings; about two-thiids as much time was spent in discussing as in reading papers a t sectional meetings and about three-fifths as much in discussing as in reading papers a t joint meetings. THE ATTENDANCES - Taking the final total registration as a basis and assuming further that only members were present (which is manifestly not a thoroughly fair basis or assumption, but the best measure that
.. ..
..
can be conveniently applied) it appears that the attendance upon these 146 meetings, for each meeting period (of which there were IZ of 2 hours each), ranged from 5.4per cent. a t the last meeting period to 95.6a t the meeting of Saturday afternoon, September 7th, as shown in the following table: Session of

in all The time actually consumed in meetings was 217 hours or 41 per cent . of the time provided and 146 separate meetings were held . This last figure must be augmented by the number of sections participating in joint sessions since each joint session is a meeting for each section. i. e., 39 meetings more than 146 were held or the equivalent of I 8j sectional meetings or 80 meetings. i. e., 30 per cent. short of program capacity Table A (p. 347) shows the joint and sectional meetings reportGd by the Sectional Secretaries .

DISCUSSIONS
Table I shows that a grand total of 332 papers were discussed by a grand total of 860 participants. However, the discussions printed in volume 2 j show that only 172 were discussed and by only 439 participants (i. e . , 247 different individuals or 13.1% of the registered attendance) and reported for publication. It appears therefore that the discussion of 160 papers or 48 per cent. and of 421 participants or 49 per cent. failed of finding a place in the final printed volume, The reasons therefor are probably correctly stated in the last paragraph on page 326 of THIS JOURKAL. Table VI11 shows the detail of the recorded discussions.

Members of the Congress in parties of larger or smaller number and all of them in charge of the Committee on Excursions visited and inspected 146 different private chemical manufacturing plants in 24 different cities; this, in addition to a large number of private manufacturing plants of general interest as well as many public, municipal, State and Federal institutions operating along chemical lines; they further visited many public institutions and undertakings in those 24 cities and in 13 other cities, where they were officially received and entertained. In addition to these official parties many members visited such private chemical plants both before and after the Congress but of these visits no record is here made. This report cannot be closed without bringing to the notice of the Congress the thorough, complete and most loyal cooperation of the Rumford Press in executing the difficult and trying work of printing the Report of this Congress under exacting and harassing conditions, of Mr. Thomas A. Edison and his entire staff in originating a suitable device for recording discussions and of Miss C. E. Davidson in organizing a corps of transcribers and stenographers to reproduce these recorded discussions in typewriting. The assistance derived from all of these was of the utmost value to the Congress and far beyond any monetary consideration involved. Any shortcomings in the work of these are not due to any faults or omissions of theirs or of their aids, but are due substantially entirely to the failure of members of this Congress to do their share properly and promptly. Respectfully submitted, BERNHARD C. HESSE,Secretary
