THE ART OF HEALING.
Progress Made In the Ranks of the MedI-
cal Profession.

Progress Made in the Ranks of the MedI-
cal Profession.
There is a close analogy between the
recent history of medical science and
the modern development of theology.
In the one case, there has been steady
progress towards complete harmony
with the natural laws which govern
the human body. The other is a record
of the gradual reputation of theories
which are inconsistent with the God
given impulses of the human heart
Cooperation with nature is now the
cardinal principle of every true physi-
clan. 1t is perhaps a libel upon the
innate that some other rule of practice
obtained during the earlier decades.
The recollections of our grandparents,
who have told us of the cupping and
leeching and nauseous dosing which
formed so large part of the heroic
medical treatment of their time, indi-
cate an arrogant independence Of nat
ure's aid on the part of the medical men
| of their day which no modern practition-
err would dare assume. The physician
of two or three generations ago was
man of mystery. His patients and the
laity in general were for the most part
kept in ignorance of the weapons which
he used in combating disease, The
dreadful and universal calomel is the
only drug in old practice which we have
all heard about A conservatism which
amounted to intolerance fettered the
profession until within comparatively
recent years Some of us think the
medical world is to-day too slow in the
recognition of discoveries and new pro-
cesses; but on the whole / believe this
to be an unwise criticism, in view of the
aany disappointmelts which have com,
in the thorough testing of most prom
ising theories.
We are in the midst OF transition
period which will mark a great epoch
in medical progress. 1t is well to dis
| eliminate between medicine and sur
gerry in making this statement In sur
gerry, the epoch Is perhaps fully rounded;
in medicine 1t is scarcely at its height.

They had not proceeded far when they

This company offers to the would-be

same natural division with the fruit belt

Interviews with number of promin

the action of the board of 9 ducation in
deciding to abandon the night schools
during the coming year does not meet
with the approval of those directly in
terested in educational matters. George
81. Miller, formerly of the-board of edu~
cation and practically the founder of the
night school system in this country, de-
plores very much the abandonment OF
the night schools. Mayor Eustis be-
lieves that the board by proper fnan
ciering could find some other point at
which to begin it's retrenchment. G. A.
Pillsbury believes that the night school
is essential to the increased intelligence
Of the community, as it enables the for
eign element to secure an education that
otherwise would not be possible

ORGANIZATION of Reading Circles.

To the Editor of The Irish Standard.
The writer this week received circu
lar sent out by the Catholic Educational
Union, with headquarters at Youngstown,
Ohio, calling attention to the: work OF
the Union and the Importance of All
early move in the organization OF "kead-
ing Circles in places where none exist,
and outlining a course of studies to be
followed the coming fall and winter.
For those who may not be familiar with
the plan of the Catholic Educational
Union quote from the prospectus be-
fore me. The object Of the Union 'ls to
encourage the diffusion of sound |iteEa'
ture and to instill love of good reading
into the hearts and minds of the Catho-
lie masses, to give those who desire to
pursue their studies, after leaving school,
an available opportunity to follow pre-
scribed courses of the most approved
reading, to enable others, who have
made considerable progress in education,
to review their past studies, and, par
ticularly, to encourage individual home
reading and study in systematic Cath
olic lines" It is especial designed to
meet the requirements of those who
have had limited educational advantages
and who are DESTROYS of eelf-lmprove-
ment. It aims to unite in communion
the earnest Catholics of the land who
are ambitious to devote their spare mo-
ments to the pursuit of knowledge and
tho cultivation of the mind. The sue
cess of the movement and the feasibility
of it's methods are shown by the fact that
in the few years of it's existence it has
bsrn introduced into every state of the
Union, and, in many Of the larger cities
every parish has it's reading circle, pre-
sided over by the pastor The Catholic
Summer School, held last year at New
London, Conn.,, and LIST August at
Pl .ttsburgh, N. Y, is an outgrowth Of
the Union and shows the great work it
has already accomplished. The plan
consists of carefully prepared read
ing courses and wisely selected books
The studies include history, literature,
science and art. The lessons in these
studies are marked in advance each
week, and the amount Of reading in EACH
study clearly defined. About forty min
utes each day will accomplish the read
ing. IT there are several persons in
pa ISL who are reading the course they
m act gether for mutual help and en-
enlargement and thus form local read
ing circle. Enlisted in the work are
such prominent Catholic educators and
authors as Maurice Francis Egan, Rev
F. X J. O'Connor, M IS Eliza Allen
Starr, Mrs. Mary E. Blake, Katherine
Conway. William j. Onahan and many
other of equal pro nioence The late
Catholic Congress passed a resolution
recommending Catholics to mass their
forces and make concerted attack upon
immoral literature Can this be done in
more effective way than to encourage
the reading of good, sound Catholic
literature in accordance with the plau
followed by the Catholic educational
Union? It has accomplished most happy
results in other cities-can we not make
it equally successful in Minneapolis?
