The HippOcratic Oath.

Proofreader (New York, N. "
writes: "In describing the closing ex-
ercises of a college of medicine, morn
ing paper recently stated that the Presi-
dent of the college administered the
Hippocratic oath to the young gradual
ing physicians. What is the Hippo
cratic oathi'" Answer: The Hippo
cratic oath was an engagement made in
classic times between young men enter
ing into the practice of medicine. The
formula was ascribed to Hippocrates,
''the Father of Medicine" and opened
with: 81 swear by Apollo, the physi-
clan, By Esculapius, by Hygeia, Pana-
cea, aud all the gods and goddesses,
that, according to my ability and judg-
ment, I will keep this oath; to reckon
him who teaches me this art equally dear
to me with my parents; to share my SUBJ
stance with him and relieve his neoessi-
ties, if required; to look upon his Off
spring upon the same footing as my owp
brothers, and to teach them this art, if
they shall learn it, without fee or stipa.
lation." It proceeds with the laying
down of an exalted code of medica.
ethics. The oath administered in the
case you mention we judge was some
modification of the original and SUP.

Schools for the Blind.

The statistics recently issued by the
Census Department on the various de-
tails of public education in this country
contain no more interesting data than
when the inquiry has proceeded on COM
paratively unknown lines. The data on
schools for the blind are case in point.
According to series of tables just
made public it would appear that while
the average amount spent in this form of
education in 1S40 to 1850 was S26S per
pupil, the better facilities afforded in the
decade just closed brought the cost up
to S2SS. The number of schools shows
gratifying increase, there being 1881
reporting to the department.
While it must be born in mind that
the apparent increase in the decade is due
to some extent to the increased facilities
for the reception and education of the
blind in the schools provided for this
purpose, it is none the less true that pub
lie spirit aud benevolence has largely
been at work in ,mpressing upon these
unfortunates the need of q better equip
ment for life. The advances made in
this respect in the United States compare
favorably with those of the older com
munities across the water, if, indeed,
they may not to-day &c said to be the
model for universal emulation.-&.

SLEEVES PRETTY THIS YEAR.

Sleeves are so pretty this year. All
the full, high effects at the shoulder are
passe, and we can speed their going, for
the majority of women look like turtles
with their heads poked up out of their
shells. Now they are cut with an equal
amount of fullness. In fact, some are
enormous, but it all droops in soft folds
down over the arm, the pattern in real
ity being an exaggerated mutton leg.
Sleeves of very thin materials are cut
half as large again as the lining, or if
they are unlined, are wrinkled on the
arm like a mousquetaire glove. and come
far down over the hand, finishing some.
