will the clubs do this year? The war has
brought the organizing energies of women
Into serious requisition; they have combined
their efforts to allay the suffering entailed

learned the secret of successful cooperation.
The club has been to them a school wherein
they have slowly learned the lesson of self
control, directness and impartiality. OF
course the reputation Of their many funny
plumbers while at school has gone before
them, and the world must have it's laugh,
but it will pay tribute to the result, just

say that women doctors are products OF the
last twenty or thirty years of American life.
But 1t is a historical fact that an Athenian
woman named Agnodise qualified as ply
stefan in 500 B. c. She afterwards practiced
among her people with marked success
though in secret. When she was found out
she was prosecuted. The Philadelphia Medical
Journal says that several women OBJ
tanned the degree OF doctor of med. cine and
practiced in Europe before 1892, especially in
the Moorish universities OF Spain. Trotula,
of Ruglero in the eleventh century. had a
European reputation, and practiced as
doctor in Salerno. At tho beginning of the
fourteenth century Dorothea Bocchi not only
received the degree of doctor, but was pro-
fessor of medicine in the famous University
of Bologna Since then two other women
