LET DIRECTORS CHOOSE.
School Controllers May Be Trusted
to Serve the Public's Interest.

Much nonsensical criticism of the
school board is being INDUCED in re-
garding the proposed addition to the
high school. Some desire it on the
front and some to the rear ana all
think they have reasons for their opin-
ions and the right to express tn I'm.
However, one thing is certain. We
have a board Of intelligent men who
are conversant with all the require
ments of the situation and their ?udg
ment ought to be relied upon. Another
thing is evident. They show a tccd-
ency to keep down the expense end
as they are not a penny wise and
pound foolish lot of fellows that is
not a bad sign.

DEL MONTE, April 20.-The sessions
on the last day of the State Medical
Society meeting were quite as we'll at
tended as on the previous days Several
doctors who had intended leaving Del
Monte in the morning remained for
another day because of the great value
of some of the papers and discussions
introduced. At the morning session the
papers presented were as follows:
"A Study of Caesarian Section, Four
Cases." by DR.. w. S. Thorne of San
Francisco; 'Intravenous Injections of
Mercury in Syphilis" by DR.. F. Dudley
TAFT of San Francisco; Two Successful
Cases of Amputation Through the Hip
Joint by Weyths Method" by DR.. c. G..
Levison; Preliminary Report on Trans
plantation of the Ovaries," by DR.. j. F.
McCone of San Francisco, and "Intes-
tinal Anastomosis," by DR.. j. Henry
Barbat
Professor lie Conte discussed at some
length the paper of DR.. McCone, calling
attention to the great biologic value of
these experiments in transplanting
ovarian tissue from one animal to an
other He also spoke very feelingly on
the question of vivisection. He thought
that one should always have great
sympathy with all life, but the degree
of consideration given should depend
upon the grade of life. 1t is better, in
his opinion. that thousand dogs be
sacrihced rather than one human being
suffer unnecessarily. 1t should be
urged on the attention of all anti-vivi-
sectionists that every effort is made to
spare the animals as much suffering as
possible through the use of anesthetics
Great interest was taken in the work
of DR.. McCone and the words of Pro-
fessor LIE Conte. DR.. BarbatS paper
gave the results of his experiments on
dogs which had been made at the medi-
cal department of the State University
Now that so many people are having
appendicitis and are compelled to have
their intestines operated on the study
of methods for operating on the intes-
tines is becoming very prominent.
DR. F. Dudley TAFT of San Francisco
discussed Dr. Barbat'S paper at length
and complimented him on the great Ia
Dor he had undertaken. During the
afternoon session DR.. Thomas W. Hunt
ington of San Francisco, recently the
Southern Pacific surgeon in Sacra-
mento, reported the successful ampu
tation of both legs in three cases, after
injury.
DR.. w. Lemoyne Wills of Los Angeles
reported a case of fracture and disloca
ton of the bones of the neck which
had occurred to an acrobat.
DR.. Huntington reported case of
dislocation of the spinal column, which
occurred in July last in the person of
the nephew of Lieutenant Governor
Neff The dislocation of the bones was
successfully replaced by means of a
very ingenious device originated by DR.
Huntington.
Other papers of the session were I'm
usual Features of Tubercular Pere-
tonitis,'' by DR.. E. E. Kelly of San Fran
cisco, and "A New Method of Applying
Plaster Jackets" by S. j. Hunkin of
San Francisco.
The society INDUCED in the customary
annual banquet in the evening which
was thoroughly enjoyed by the forty or
fifty members who remained.

BOSTON, April 20-Mrs. William ?.
Frye, wife of the former Peace Com
missioner, writes a most amazing open
letter to Professor David Starr Jordan
in reply to his recent lecture to the stu
dents of the Stockton, Cal, High School
on THE Higher Criticism Professor
Jordan attacked the administration and
its policy and told a story of one of the
Peace Commissioners going to a BAN

bacco Juice on the floor In Mrs. Frye's
letter she says:

merit of freshness nor the appearance OF
truth. There was probably not one OF
YOUR audience so stupid as TO accept Ior
fact your idtotic fiction
Further along she says:
Rut what interests me most in your ex-
traordinary harangue is your attack on
our Peace Commissioners. in when you
display such profound ignorance as to our
suggestion that "It would be better TO
send men abroad who are familiar with
the usages of good society," Are you lg-
norant of the facts that one has been
that one has been a Senator, for two
terms the chairman of the Committee on
compiished lawyers in the Northwest and
a finished scholar; that one has been in
the House and Senate twenty-nine years.
that one has been Senator two terms and
is now a Circuit Judge, a gentleman by
birth and breeding: that one was pro
prietor and editor of the New York Trlb-
IIne who has served US admirably as
Minister to France; that all were grad
yates of our colleges; that all had vastly
greater experience in polite society and
greater familiarity with social ethics than
YOU could dream of?
Not one of these gentlemen chewed to-
bacco; not one of them attended a ban
0uet while abroad. Now do you not think
that you had better apologize to your
students for your gross and untruthful
statements, and redeem, at least TO that
extent your reputation as a gentleman
and a scholar?
