For Medical Discussion.

A movement to be greatly commend
ed is that made ty the doctors of this
this city, Madison and Morris Plains, to
hold monthly meetings for the discus
sion of medicine in general and any
particular need or condition of this
vicinity.
The gatherings are of themost informal
kind, and there are no officers save a
secretary, DR.. Clifford Mills. The host
of the evening selects chairman.
The first gathering was held at the
residence of Dr. Stephen Pierson in
April; the second at DR.. H. A. Henri
ques in May and the June one at DR..
Calvin Andersons in Madison.
AT each meeting an original paper is
read by the host, which is followed by
a general discussion and refreshments.
During July and August no sessions
will be held, and the next will not &C.
cur until September.

State Normal School.

The Normal school has been able to
receive about 100 students to bring the
attendance up to the capacity of the
school. OF this number about 10 could
be boarders, this being the number of
vacancies in the dormitories
There were in all considerably over
200 qualified applicants for the vacan-
cies.
Under the rules Of the school all APP
plications must be in by June Is and
assignments made by the Both.
The assignments were completed Sat
urday. Students are selected in the fol.
owing order: 1st, graduates of high
schools on the approve list End, per-
sons who have had experience in teach
ing; 3rd, in the order of qualifica lions.
The legal quotas Of the countie must
be kept in mind, provided the qualifica-
tons of the applicants are satisfactory.
Fourteen of the twenty-one counties
have applied for more than their full
quota, while seven have not asked their
full quota. The latter are mostly the
urban counties that have in them large
city traing schools.
Over sixty applicants in all were re-
nsed-because of insufficient accommo-
dations.

Whichever way one turns nowadays
the divorce or one of its preliminaries is
met with Sometimes six scandals are
reported on one page Of any metropoli-
tan newspaper, and the air is so thick
with rumors that one gasps for breath
and the very soul of one has grown
heavy-asphy xiated with an unwhole-
some atmosphere. Account for it all,
who can? Moralists and preachers are
searching always and each man argues
from that one case he knows. If his
own wife be tiresome he talks about
mans necessity for companionship. And
if she be tiippant or bad cook, he finds
all the seeds of social unrest in that.
nobody arrives at solution, for nobody
can We are all like the men and
women of the Platonic myth, and 60
searching over the world for our other
halves. And the eagerness and expect
ancy with which we started on our
search is. in our reaction into disap
.pointment, as love- that is burned into
hate. We crush and kill what we en-
brace.

These New York reformers whose
continuous performance has cost that
city about $25 900. are becoming weari-
some. The best kind of reform, and
there is much need of it everywhere, is
individual reform. Under the guise of
political reform men often work for
either profit or revenge. 1t is well in
these degenerate days for the people to
sift motives. Rascals are very plausi-
ble-ditto hypocrites.
