healthy condition. The work of the r,is-
sionaries has been very extensive, not only

ty by supplying a new source Of profess
sional entertainment Adverse theories
sprang up among the profession as to the
qualifications essential, under the charter,
to legalize the practice of medicine in the
District of Columbia. But the society held
then, as 1t has since done, that the law
contemplated the elevation of the standard
of professional qualification as well as the
exclusion Of ignorant practitioners from the
District Of Columbia. and the better to &C.
complish this Congress entrusted the
licensing, which legalizes the practice Of
medicine. exclusively to the board of ex-
aniners of this society. The law itself
directed that individuals engaging in prac-
tice here must obtain a license from the ex-
aminers of the Medical Society and to OBJ
tain this must satisfy the board of their
proficiency, either by the presentation of q
diploma from some respectable college or
by undergoing an examination, and If ap-
proved, a license shall be granted, for which
the applicant shall pay fee not exceeding
ten dollars" The granting of a license by
the board Of examiners in the early history
of the society was never construed as
equivalent to membership. Members were
always elected by ballot, and only from
among those who had received certificate
of the board of examiners, on the nominal
ton Of the board or Of some member of the
society.
This. in brief. is sketch. mere outline
of the organization of the Medical Society
of the District of Columbia. Its history
has not been uneventful, but 1t has pushed
steadily on, standing always for the high
est ethics of the profession, until it has
reached its present position of power and
influence.
The Coming Celebration.
The celebration of it's seventy-fifth birth
day will be a gala occasion in its history.
There will be appropriate exercises held in
the National Rifles Armory, beginning at
7:45 p m, to be followed by a dinner at
the Arlington at 10 o'clock. The program
to be followed at the National Rifles Ar

any demonstrations against the prisoners
although at every station on the road num-
oers OF men and boys, white and black,
gathered about the car containing the SOL
