colleges and universities. DIR. BonerJee
wrote to the Commissioners several days
ago a letter of coincidence on the death OF
President Mckinley. His communication
on the subject of the proposed degree Is
addressed to His excellency, the governor
of District of Columbia
That DR.. Bonerjee must be a man of some
importance is evidenced by his manner or
signing himself, which is as follows: 'Benode
Bheari Bonerjee, MD, LID, FITS, f.S.
Sc. F.A.S.. F.S.L.T., the scientific medalist

The letter reads: my dear excellency-l
have the honor to beg your exceilency
kind permission to humbly submit my TINS
poor petition for public grievances OF y. ..
A. and especially mine, which will bring TO
your excellency's kind notice and perusai
and to be relieved from the same
Consul Generals Advice.
"At first I have brought this matter be-
fore my friend, Gen. B. F. Patterson, the
honorable consul general of U. S. A Tor
India, but he kindly advised me to forward
a memorial to your honor for your kind
favorable consideration.
Here 1t is the expression of my poor ap-
plication that long since l have been labor
ing under curiosity to satisfy my appetite
to know the systems of comforting the de-
gree of doctor of public health O.P.H.) by
and iy-cr y A
every president of every colleges and uni
verslties has expressed his sorrow In his re-
ply for his inability to comply with my
request that the degree which you seek
from has never been conferred on any one.
and it is out of the knowledge Of people of
colleges and universities Of the United
States Of America, or rather the same has
never been established by the higher au-
thority up to the present age, this sepa-
rate branch of science in the United
States of America .-
Permit me to write here that it is
strange to say that where all the highest
degrees and honors in education have been
established by your, excellency's best re-
nowned administration as the degrees are
Ma. Phi D;sc.. ME:, ND, Del:
D.f.H., particularly in the scientific world,
where the highest advancement Of culture
of education stands first, than the same Of
the old world.
II earnestly askato state your excellency
that the systems of edhcations in Europe to
teach her people in colleges and universi-
ties all the degrees are as -....A., P.H.D.,
DISC, M. E, M.D, DC.L., d. M, LID.
and with the degree of D.P.H. All sanitary
appointments ares filled up by these ef-
ficient scientific men, who especially learn
this particular branch Of this science and
hold the degree Of D.f H. So the such ap-
pointments in India are under the acts and
rules of the British government, to pro-
vide those candidates who hold the same
degree. but not to the simply qualified men
adorned with the degree of MD. or Disc.
Merely the Degree of NJ. d.
$50 1 pray more to be kindly allowed to
say this subject that the posts for pub
lie health in your excellency's government
are occupied, byo theseh officers who merely
gained the degree Of M. D., but know that
the learning of only this degree is not quite
sufficient for good sanitary improvement,
which Is fully Separate1line from the same.
The present systems of education in
British India are very narrow, deficient
and less advancement in culture, because
all sorts of higher degrees In science are
still not established by the present existing
senate. Law and arts are most current, as
NJ. A, d. l.. and in science B. Sc, NJ. D.,
that's all.
Here are in number of five universities
in India. Each Of these are administere
by one provincial head official, called di-
rector of public instruction
AT the recent meeting of our viceroy's
legislative council has proposed to create
a post of director general Of education for
India, SO therefore an educational confer
ence has sat to discuss the matter; but /
know that from long since the same has
been created in U. S. A., say about thirty
four years; thee exact date is 10th March
commissioner of bureau of education of u.
s. A, which was first occupied by the
Hon. DR.: Henery Barnard. LID, and at
present the honorable chair filled by DR..
w. T. Harris, Ph.D., LID.
Dares to Express Hope.
"I dare hope that If your excellency will
order to issue rules and regulations of
forming faculty to teach the same degree,
and the systems of comforting it from the
colleges and universities in your good gov
ernmeat and publish them in your valuable
report for education. the senates will
follow the same, and which will become to
their knowledge, afterward they will try
to improve the systems by and by, and the
student will learn this new established sep
arate branch of science (sanitary concerns)
and will be candidates for the government
services
Their courage will endeavor to keep
their countries in good sanitation for pub
lie health; so the government will have
more advantages of services from them
than the present systems Of appointments
for sanitary purposes; therefore, the DAM
evil, maladies, plague, epidemic, ETC., will
De disappeared, the pace Will De Tree from,
and the people will be happy more and en-
joy their good health with pleasure.
Urgently Necessary.
1.-The education at recent age in u S. A.
has reached to it's highest advancement of
culture, as nearly three hundred seventy
five universities and colleges are located
there Science are improved by only Amer
lean people, which are known by the whole
world So 1 am of opinion and earnestly
bef your excellency's kind notice, that it is
urgently necessary to create this degree of
Dl P H. in the cultured scientific new
world.
Il am in firm cmviction, that my prayer
shall be crowned with success by your ex-
celIency's kind ;fag Durable best considera-
tion.
II, being the representative for Public,
have the honour to be you excellency's
most obedient servant.
