A statement made by the president OF
the Minnesota Medical society in his
annual address is deserving of some at
tention. "Ther progress in medical sci
ence has been such as to practically

said, ~'leaying but one school-medlcal
science. The most educated and intelli-
gent representatives of all schools ad-
NIT this and the time is soon coming,
if it is not already here, when so-called
schools Of medicine will not exist
There is significance in this utterance,
coming, as it does, at a time when new
schools" of medicine appear to be
springing up on every hand.

THE EDUCATIONAL CONVENTION.
Importance of the Projected Meeting
at the Exposition.

oiOuN City Tribune.
One Of the most important and valuable
features of the Omaha exposition will be
the educational convention which meets
juno 2S and continues for three days. A
published program of the convention, while
in some respects incomplete, reveals that
even the highly successful gathering during
the worlds fair will be excelled in many
points. The educators OF the northwest have
necessarily advanced a Sood deal in their
profession since 1893, and all they have
learned Will be spread at Omaha as a basis
for still greater progress in the future. The
speakers and instructors engaged for the oc-
casion are many of them OF national and in
ternational prominence. Such persons as
DR.. A, i. Nightingale of Chicago, j. Sterling
Morton. George A. Gates, ]. #, Millspaugh
of Salt Lake. w. W.. Stettson of Maine, Prof.
Seymour Eaton and z. Benjamin Andrews
will take a leading part in the proceedings.
The Importance OF the educational inter
ests of the several states which will con-
tribute TO the success OF the convention is
hardly realized. They have school property
to the aggregate value OF over $3.50, 000, 900
and employ more than 125. 900 teachers. The
pupils now attending the schools number
over 1900, 900. These figures indicate an
enormous development of the public school
system and educators should be encouraged
In their endeavor to improve conditions
which are already a source OF great pride
to every citizen. In no other country in
the world are the educational facilities 50
extensive or 30 well developed as in the
United States and the schools of the middle
west which will be represented at Omaha
are easily the best in this country.
This section will watch the convention
with pride and interest and IT is safe to say
that nc matter how we'll qualified an In
structor may be the three days spent al

TIE REE,N ANNIVERSARY.

The Bee today rounds out the twenty
seventh anniversary of its establishment
and enters upon the twenty eighth year
of its career.
The Bee r~cjoices that in the whole
period of its existence 1t was never
ular with the masses whose sentiments
il aims to voice and whose rights 1t
seeks always to defend. AS proof posi-
tive of its eve growing favor with the
newspaper reading public it points to
Il regular paid circulation largely in e
cess of its highest mark for previous
years and an enlarged patronage of ad
vertisers who appreciate high class
newspaper advertising.
At the same time The Bee feels con.
fidcnt that its efforts to improve the
character and quality of its news service
particularly with reference to prompt,
reliable and complete war news and full
and readable reports Of the great Trans
mississippi Exposition to which 1t gave
the inspiration and in which 1t has been
so potential a factor are not passed ur
noticed.
In the future as in the past The Bee
promises to continue true to its policy
of patriotic devotion to the nation, I'm
swerving loyalty to principle, fearless
exposure of dishonesty and corruption
in public life-in a word TO lead in every
thing that pertains to the courageous
and ~incorruptible modern newspaper.

The names of a large majority of the $40
pupils of the public schools who have passed
this year the examinations for admission to
the College of the City of New York or free
college for boys, are unquestionably Jewish.
So 1t has been for several years past, the
preponderance of Hebrew names. however,
increasing from year to year. The aptest

seem to be of the Jewish race.

The class in geography will please
take care not to get muddled following
the fortunes of the Temerario. The

are completed. Consul Swain is sta.
toned at Montevideo, which is in Uru-
quay, while ASCENSION Is 800 miles or
more inland on n great river and is the
capital of Paraguay. The presence Of
the Temerario Mt ASCENSION indicates
that its commander had started on an
overland journey to the United States
or was making sure not to meet the
