THE FINAL SECRET OF SUCCESS.
EVERYBODY CAN LIVE WITHOUT MONEY
OR WORK OR ANYTHING Ex-
CEPT CREDIT


young man in Wall Street has found what
looks AT Arst eight like the royal road to prosperity
His plan IL permanent bankruptcy. Thackeray
once wrote a chapter showing how TO live on moth
ing a year Somebody else wrote about living on
the interest Of what you owe. But these plans are
cumbersome and od-fashioned compared with this
new one OF permanent bankruptcy.
1t Is simply the logical extension OF the bank
ruptcy law, which has been boon TO so many OF
late. The ordinary bankrupt swears that he owes a
lot of money and has none and there he is Both
sides OF the slate washed clean and he starts
over. Now comes the young from Wall Street
with his Improvement He swears that he owes a
little money, expects TO great deal more, has
money and expects never 10 have any. and there
he Is. The slate Is thrown away. There Is no more
for It, and IT is put aside forever lest it should
be counted an asset.
Necessity is the mother Of invention The ord-
nary bankrupt knows that he will have to live
debtedness under the absurd regulations OF modern
society. But this bankrupt has something worse
than that 10 look forward 10. His wife got a
divorce from him. with alimony at 81 800 a year
enough 10 make him look forward for forty years
and TO see that II he should go neglectng to pay
II for that length OF time he would then owe 10000
regardless Of what little he might happen spend
his own living
No young man wants TO start out In life with
such a burden OF debt that on his shoulders and
so. is IL any wonder that he invented the scheme
OF permanent bankruptcy? 1t is a good suggestion
do not care to- There may be something wrong
with II. but IL looks like the final solution Of ali
social problems Just let everybody hle a petition
OF permanent bankruptcy, and then go living
chose and never pay debt-as long as the credit
lasted.

BARVARD'S NEW MEDICAL SCHOOL.

From The Boston Transcript
There should be great difficulty In securing

THE friends OF the university should see TO II that
thcre is no delay In perfecting this plan IL
means the most important step which has yet been
taken i'm medical education In this country. Thirty
,,ears ago the student who wished to pursue line
~ study in special branch OF science or medi-
cine found no satisfactory provision made for him
in the American colleges. IL was necessary ior
Rim 10 20 abroad to receive that final polish which
made him a master In his chosen branch or work

highest work in physical science hnds In THIS coun-
trv opportunities for systematic study Wnicn nave
dnnc away with the necessity OF going ABROAD Yet
there has been no such advance in medical educa-
ton The situation is little more satisfactory than
IL was thirty years ago.
Mindful OF these facts. the corporation OF Har-

has much already in the way OF laboratories and
