Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-12

In discussing the work of journalists and the preparation necessary to fit a man for such a position, a writer in the Cosmopolitan says: aIn the first place let us say that American college life and work, as now carried on, are of themselves a better training for jour- Raitsrn in the technical sense than they are for any other calling, except teaching. This is in part because the work of journalism is at many points so closely related to the work of edu- cation, and also because the best col- lege work nowadays is in such close sympathy and touch with the best so- cial, ethical and economic progress of the community at large, such progress being the material with which journal ism most concerns itself. Another reason is that the sSiliful and correct use of language, whether to state a fact or convey an idea, is of the very essence of good journa lisn, and our college work more and more recognizes the importance of training all students in the art of direct and lucid expres- sion. Tn college, one ought bo acquire the truth and liking it for it's, own sake, in disinterested way. One's logical faculties ought to sget good training, in order that fallacious req soning may be easily analysed and dis posed of. Scientific study should have as it's great object the training of the powers of exact observation and accur- ate analysis.

SCIENCE AND BUSINESS.
The Study of Surgery in Germany and
 in America

A young surgeon who went to Ger many four years ago to complete his studies in pathology, recently returned to this country. He makes this inter esting comment on national differences in the profession:
 "It's science over there; here it's the business of healing. Here one gets the elementary things in college, learns more in hospital and in general prac- tice, and turns the knowledge into money. The average American prac- titioner would be out of place over there, With them it's study, study, study from the time they receive their degree until they die.
 'sAt the hosiptals or meeting places they talk nothing but shop. have known a group Of German doctors to leave their dinner half eaten to visit a case under discussion. They are the worst possible practitioners. for they are interested only in tecnique. knew a man who went to German physician with a pain in his leg. That doctor spent an hour each day for five days studying it. and after that he knew all there was to know about that pain, but he didn't stop 1t. Tn this country we would have treated it and thought no more about it except to congratulate the patient ill a few days on getting well. They don't care for the patient. He is only specimen. heard a doctor say perfectly meehan- ically that he hoped a certain patient would die so that he might learn some fact from the autopsy. s sFN
 "They call American surgeons copy ists. Wherever the charge is true. it is merely that Americans turn to practi- cal service the theories they study. But undoubtedly the Germans are doing a great work. One man, it Is reckoned, had added 3O,oo0 years to human life by his discoveries. There is no com mercial end for them to gain, so that their work. their science, must be their only aim.
 The difference aptly Illustrates the general difference between our sprac- ticai' ways and the ways of German ning.-World's Work.
Waterbury evening Democrat., 1903-06-12

The work of trying to save the for ests of this country Is being carried out on systematic plans by the depart mant of agriculture of the United States. It may be that the work has been delayed too long for many of the old time forests are disappearing. Speaking on this subject a recent re- port says that there is probably no for est in the world so immense so aceessi- ble, so easy to lumber and so regular in the high quality of it's timber as was the great pinery which occupied the re-
 gion of the great lakes and of the upper Mississippi. The forests of Michigan, Wisconsin and Minnesota originally contained stand of about 850, 900, ,000,- GOO feet. Of this Michigan had about 15o, ,OoO, 100000 Wisconsin 13o,o00,oo GOO and Minnesota about 70, 900 000, GOO feet Numbering began in Michigan and Wisconsin during the '30s, and was of small importance until the early '7o's Since then the great pinery has been cut over in a way unprecedented in numbering. In 1873 the cut was about 4,000, 0,00o,o 900 feet. It reached high water mark in 1892 when it was over $500, ,00o ,0o0 feet Since then 1t has steadily fallen, until for 1902 it was little over 5000, 0,0oO, ,0oo. To the enormous total of about 1ss, ,o00, ,o00,- 900 feet cut in the last thirty years there must be added about 2s,000,O0O,- 900, or 10 per cent, for laths, shingles and minor produce, making total of 216000, 100000. Fifty billion feet were probably cut prior to 1873 which would bring the total product of the lake states to about 265.O0o, ,0o0, GOO feet. As the estimate of the original stand amounted to about e000, 900, GOO feet, it would seem that after the cut of 1902 exclusive of second growth, there were 85,000,o0O,000 feet standing. There are. however, by careful esfi-
 mate, not more than 35,O0O,O00, 900 feet of merchantable timber, which also in- cludes. undoubtedly, considerable amount of second growth. Of the vast discrepancy only a part can be put down to error, since we knew enough
