new ERA in MEDICAL TEACHING

PHILADELPHIA, June 10.-Scores
of the most eminent physicians of
this country and Canada, who have
been attended the convention of the
American Medical association at At
lantic City this week, were present
today at the formal dedication of the
new medical laboratory of the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania. Besides the
medical men the participants in the
dedication exercises included presi-
dents and instructors of many lead
ing medical schools. The students,
faculty and guests marched in pro-
cession from Houston hall to the new
building where the exercises took
place. The speakers included Pro-
fessor II. P. Bowditch, professor of
physiology at Harvard university; DR..
r. J. Chittenden, director Of the Shelf
field Scientific school at Yale univer-
sity; Professor Horatio c. Wood of
the University Of Pennsylvania, and
Professor George Dock, professor Of
medicine at the University of Michl-
gan.

vides for the teaching OF students

cology. In completeness Of equipment

the laboratory is said to be without
a rival in Europe or America. The
construction Of the building has &C.
cupied about four years, and has cost,
exclusive of its ground or equipment,
in the neighborhood of 100000. The
first floor of the building is to be
devoted to physiology and pharmaco-
dynamics, and the second floor will be
devoted exclusively to pathology.
There are two demonstration rooms
and two large lecture rooms, each of
the latter having a seating capacity Of
400.
The museum and gross morbid ana
tony demonstration rooms are in
close proximity to the large class
laboratory of pathological histology
with the important aim Of closely re-
lating the instruction carried on in
each. The laboratory of pathological
histology, the front of which consist
almost entirely of glass, is located so
as to face a spacious court, thus in
surfing an excellent and uniform light
and admirably adapting 1t for micro
scopic work carried on by a large
class. In drawing up the plans for
the building the same care was taken
to insure perfect lighting in all of
the laboratories and demonstration
rooms.

CANADIAN PACIFIC
OPERATES WITH
CORBIN

SEATTLE, June l0.-It is now be-
lieved in local railroad circles that
the recent recognition by high Canadian
Pacific officials OF the proposed Corbin
road from Spokane to the British Co
lumbia line, as a Spokane connection
Npf the Canadian Pacific indicates that
the latter line has practically ADAM
doned its plan of constructing branch
lines to Spokane and Seattle through
q company organized for that purpose.
The Canadian Pacific has, since the
formation of the Washington company,
effected traffic agreement with the
Northern Pacific extending over a long
period of years, by which it is able to
operate both passenger and freight
trains between Vancouver and this
city. This arrangement removes the
necessity for the construction of the
Seattle branch. The Spokane connec-
ton scheme has been replaced by the
proposed Corbin line, thus giving the
company facilities for caring for its
business without the necessity of build
ing either of the proposed branches.
