CHANGES MADE
IN THE COURSE
important innovation at the Uni.
versity College Of Medicine
Mex. Session.

Beginning with the next session there
will be introduced at the University Col
Iege of Medicine in this city a new
scheme Of instruction, which, it is said,
is altogether different from that in any
other institution of its kind. The change
is expected to prove a most beneficial
one fol the students.
The announcements for the session OF
1902-1903, which begins on the Both of next
month. have just been made in the new
catalogue issued by the University Col
lege. Concerning the changes in the
course Of instruction, il is said:
In the past all the branches of the
first year were taken up at the very be-
ginning of the session. with the result
that the average student became over
whelmed with the amount of work to
be accomplished and bewildered by the
variety of subjects presented for conSid-
Grafton In other words, the first-year
student, unaccustomed to the methods
OF study that are followed in a medical
college was expected, during the first
week, to master a. number of unfamiliar
studies and to make such progress as
might be expected of students in the
higher classes
Under the curriculum presented for
the coming session, it Is arranged that
the new student shall spend as much or
more time on his studies as formerly
during the first month. but only three
subjects will be assigned for home study
viz: Biology. Chemistry, and Medical
Physics, and his attention will be con-
centrated upon these. In addition to
this, three hours per week at the Col
Iege will be devoted to Medical Nomen-
clature and Microscopical Technic. or to
drilling the student in the use Of the vo-
cabulary and the instruments with which
he is to do his work
"As the course progresses. the other
subiects-Anatomy, Histology. and Bot
any-are taken up, but at no time dur
Ing the first year will more than four
branches be taught at once. It Is be-
Neyed that by this arrangement the
work of the first year especially will be
made moro useful to the student, and
that by the concentration Of his atten-
ton to fewer subjects at one time he
xiu master each more thoroughly and
cerive the greatest benefit from his
years work The same principle will be
applied to the other classes as far as
possible
1t will be a source of pleasure to many

HIS EDUCATION LOST.

A teacher in one of our leading high
schools told me of an instance in point.
One of his boys was solicited to attend
college. The teacher demonstrated with
the father. assuring him that the boy
was not ready by at least one year to
enter; but the father replied that the
head of the institution would know bet
ter than teacher in high school, and
sent the boy. In a short time the boy
discovered that he was not prepared.
and after a few months of unavailing
study returned home and was put into
business; for in such cases the father
never thinks of putting his son to school
again and thus fitting him to profit by
a college course
In this case the loss to this boy was
not the only harm done. His younger
brother finished the high school course.
and wished to attend the same institr-
ton that enticed his brother to his un-
doing. His teacher urged the father to
send him. assuring him that the boy
could profit by the course there. But the
father replied that the other son had
been sent and had failed. and that ne
was not going to spend any more money
on collegiate education.
Now was it even to the interest OF the
institution to urge the first boy to come,
or even to permit him to do so? My in
fCrmant said that the boy was studious
and would have made a successful student
if ne had been prepared. If he has been
allowed to stay at school one more year
he would in all probability have completed
his college course. and his younger bro

PRESIDENT STANDS FIRM.

President Roosevelt. in his Detroit
speech, sssreiterstes.-s in unmistskable
language that it is..ssthe duty of this
government to give to- Cuba.sthe re-
ciprocity that was promised it. The
president called. attention to....the
pledges thai. were. made and declared
that .they...-should. be.sfulfilled. -. The
large majority of the American people
are...with the president on the pro-
position and if the.Econgressmen from
Minnesota wish to serve their con-
stituents.. well....they will. give to-..the
chief msgistrate their hearty support
in.the carrying.out of those pledges.
President Roosevelt reviewed what
has already been done for the island,
and stated that it must be in certain
sense part of our international
political system. Adding further the
declaration that he did not believe a
particle of harm will come to any
American interest from the adoption
of reasonable measure of reciprocity
with Cuba.

no one now regards that as live
issue. yet the president was to have
explained his position.
Mr.. Jermane says that the country
has lost nothing of real Importance by
the cancellation of the trip and while
the cities and states beyond Indian
apolis will regret the inability of the
president to fulfill his engagements,
they will rejoice with the whole coun-
try that his condition is not serious,
at the same time feeling that they
already have before them the especial
utterances he desired to make.
Of these utterances, two are new
and of the highest Importance:
First. The Logansport declaration
in favor of bipartisan commission to
revise the tariff, which means taking
the tariff out of politics.
Second. The Cincinnati declaration
that the tariff does not afford a shelter
for monopoly, and that the trusts can
not be controlled through tariff re-
vision.
Two other points were made, one at
Detroit, in favor of reciprocity with
Cuba and another at Indianapolis, in
favor of large navy as surety for
peace and for the safety of the Monroe
doctrine but these, while important,
had been made repeatedly in the presi-
dents speeches in the south and in
New England, and were not new.
Taken together, however, the four
positions make full disclosure of the
Roosevelt policy and anticipate the
leading objects to be discussed in the
message to congress in December. The
disclosure of the presidents views al
this time must inevitably affect the
November elections favorably so fal
as the Republican party is concerned
and insure its continued control of the
lower house of congress Possibly,
also. the tide may rise high enough tc
give the Republicans one or two more
United States senators next January
than they have been counting upon.

ssTHROwING THE SCARE,

In lieu Of the usual cut-and dried
Democratic conventions at which the
old familiar cry of "viewing with
alarm the legislation enacted by the
Republican party could be warped into
a set of resolutions, the Democratic
candidates for the lower house held 8
session in ST. Paul Tuesday and draft.
ed an appeal to the people, in
which they revive the ancient remark
about equal rights to all and special
privileges to none. The Republican
party is charged with being opposed
to tariff revision, and the tariff is
put down as specie of highway rob-
berry.
AS a matter of fact the Republican
party is not opposed to a revision of
the tariff along proper lines. 1t is
not afraid to tackle the trust question,
this having been demonstrated by the
declarations of President Roosevelt,
whose speeches for the past several
weeks have been filled with utterances
regarding the big corporations, which
have come to be denominated as
trusts To be sure President Roosevelt
has not INDUCED in anarchistic talk,
has not advocated quack remedies nor
has he discussed the proposition in a
manner that appealed to the prejudices
of the people rather than their intelli-
gence. The Republican party agrees
with President Roosevelt that there
are evils of such magnitude that some
thing should be done to eradicate
them. The belief is strong, however,
that juggling with the tariff is not
the best way to deal with them.
President Roosevelt has wisely said
that the tariff and the trust questions
should be divorced.
Several years ago the Democratic
party attempted to revise the tariff
and what botch job they made of it.
What was the result2 A period of
hard times came on and who suffered
the most2 The laboring classes. The
very class of people the Democratic can
didates for congress are now making
their appeal to. But the working peo-
pie will not allow the blinds to be
drawn over their eyes by the equal
rights bosh. They have experienced
to their sorrow the work of the Demo
cratic party. They are determined to
continue in power the party that
brought order out of chaos and filed
the country with prosperity.
The Republican party is well equip
ped to do what is necessary for the
of the people. But it does
not propose to act at the behest of a |
mad clamor and disturb the business
conditions. Prudent action never does
harm. 1t is better to be guided by
prudence.
The Democratic candidates are in
iustriously at work Throwing q
care. " that will hardly have it's
effect.

Very true, and was he given an oppor-
tunity to vote under the former pri-
mary systemf The only way the could
vote was to stretch his conscience and
participate in a caucus un-

he did not affiliate. The man who is

also among the fault-fnders. He

mINNEsOTA,s DISAPPOINTMENT.

Disappointment is universally ex-
pressed over the decision of President
Roosevelt to abandon his western trip.
But the decision is not based upon
his own desires for an operation for an
sbcess on one leg, brought on by the
injury received at the time of the
Pittsfeld accident is the cause. The
physicians have advised that the presi-
dent give up the trip and the advice
must be needed.
President Roosevelt tour Of the west
was looked upon as one of the greatest
Importance in that he was to make
declarations upon certain public ques-
tions.
:. His Cincinnati speech was the open
ing gun and was to be followed by
others along similar lines.
1t is unfortunate that the journey
to the west was stopped ct a time
when the presidents ssinstructive.- ad-
dresses were needed by the masses.
His..ideas of what course. should be
pursued to regulate certain evilso.had
found Judgement in the minds of the
people. There was nothing of ..the
demagogic in his remarks. His words
were we'll put together. His sentences
were brief and to the point. There
was no misunderstanding of their
meaning. The president does not
equivocate. He talks straight. That
is one great reason he is SO muchs ad-
mired by all classes of people.
That President Roosevelt will speed
lily recover from the operation there
is no doubt. His enforced failure to
visit Minnesota at this time is no
doubt matter of great disappoint-
ment to him as it is to the people,
who, had prepared to receive him so
graciously.

THE VOTE ON CONGRESSMAN.

Demorcacy's besetting sin is the
statement of half truths as a basis for
intelligent opinion. Last week our
esteemed contemporary, The Mankato
Review, published some figures re-
garding the vote on congressman in
the recent primaries from which it
seemed to derive some comfort. In
order that the people may judge how
much basis there is in the vote at the
primaries to encourage the Democratic
nominee for congress in this district,
we give below the statement of the
vote by counties as found and reported
yesterday by the state board which
canvassed the vote:
