Seventy-five- Year-Old Me dical Student

A student named Borysik has just
passed the final examination at Warsaw

doctor of medicine in Russia. Borysik
was born IN 1922 and was educated at
Suvalk Higher Grade School with view
to becoming medical man. After pass-
ing his matriculation lack of funds pre-
vented him from at once proceeding to
the university and he was compelled to
WORK a a tutor for twenty years IN order
TO save enough money 10 enable him to
continue his studies. At the end of that
time he presented himself at Warsaw
Medical Academy and passed the entranc.
examination with distinction.
Before he could begin his studies the
Borysik, who was now Al years of age,
threw himself into the movement with all
the enthusiasm of youthful revolution
ist. The revolt was suppressed and Bory-
six was exiled to Siberia, where for thirty
two years he underwent hcrd la Dor in the
silver mines. In 1895 he received a free
pardon and returned to Warsaw. In
spite Of his age and the hardships he had
endured Borysik had lost none of bis en-
thusiasm for med cal work, and took up
his studies where he had left them off in

TEACHERS SALARIES.
Superintendent Webster Says There Is
No Probability That Any

The story from Sacramento to the effect
that 1000 teachers in the State stood in
danger of losing their salaries. because
the State Printing Office had not received
an appropriation sufficient to enable it to
print the school registers, causes no
alarm at the office of the Board OF Educa-
ton.
''Long ago" said Superint tendent Web
ster yesterday, II received communica.
ton from State Superin tendent Black, in
forming me that the Safe could furnish
no registers, and l would have to see that
the local authorities printed them. pre-
sumo the same communication was sent
to every County superintendent. l know
that have already ma lie a requisition on
the local board for 700 registers, and l
have allowed for the cost of printing all
that we will require in my estimates OF
the funds required for the department
this fiscal year. There is not the slightest
probability that any teacher will lose his
salary for the want of register, and if
any salaries are lost it will be for good
