A Company That Collects Money
Owing oy Patients.

"Tbe incorporation of n company to collect
.he bills due to physicians" said doctor
'is another step that shows tho remarkable
change which has been gradually taking
place in tho business methods of the profes
sion Who would have thought twenty years
ago, or, for that matter, ten years ago, of a
Physicians Collection Company, which
should have for It's object to collect by suit
and otherwise debts and obligations duo and
owing to ply sicihns and other persons, and
TO distribute among phy sicians and other per-
sons from time To time a record Of the finan-
cial condition of other persons, ana also 10

sons records showing the promptness and
readiness OF physicians clients and other
persons to pay gtaeir debts and obligations

ton in New York twenty years ago would
have been astonished at the proposal of a

look upon their compensation and the collcc-
,ion of the amounts owing 10 them with the
same keen business sonse that men in other
occupations do, and the old idea OF being sat
. ished with only certain proportion has long
since passed away. Tho doctor wants all that
he asks for his services, just rs any othe
business man does. This tendency on the
part of the ply sicianS has been very much

The officials of the American Missionary
Association, whose labors for the
colored people In the South be-
gan before the war, state that
the colored people are steadily ad-
yancing in enlightenment and material
prosperity. From their report the follow
ing encouraging facts are drawn;
Four millions can read the Bible for
themselves. In ten counties OF Georgia
seventy per cent. OF the reputable teachers
and preachers among the colored people
have been educated either in A. M. A.
schools or by those who have gone out
from them. There are 1850, 000 colored
children and youths who are attending
school. Hundreds OF their teachers have
been educated by the A. NJ. A. Children
Of former slaves are now conducting adj
vanced schools In four schools OF high
grade the A. Nj. A. is trying the expert
ment OF trusting the direction and teach
ing 10 oolorsd teachers. Two Of these
schools are conducted entirely by gradu-
ates of our colleges.
The association has more than 20 schools
wholly administered by coloreu teachers,
and in the colleges ana theological schools
there are several colored professors Of
ability. The association began Industrial
teaching in 1867 Since then IL has been
introduced into nearly every school. The
most complete farm building in the
county has teen built at Talladega, Ala,

college doing the work. One mountain
school. the only one within n radius OF 25
miles, reaches constituency OF 1000
children who have no other means Of edu-
cation.
Eighteen new churches have been or
ganizeu during the year; two among the
Indians, four In the mountains, twelve
among the colored people. The record
for the last five years is l2l; Indian field
I five; mountain field, thirty five; and
eighty -one among the Negroes. The
total received on confession during the
year in all the fields is 1916.
