REQUIRE BETTER TRAINING.
State Medical Examiners Boost Re-
qulrements of physicians.

Des Moines, Nov. 1S. - The state
board of medical examiners has an
nounced that after July 1, persons who
apply for certificates to practice medi.
cine, must have complied with the let
ter OF the statute, requiring full four
years work in medical college.
Heretofore, by an agreeable arrange.
ment, the colleges have been permitted
to give students credit for years
work If they held degree, of B. S., or
an equal degree, implying scientific
training, from any of the reputable col
leges of the state. This made it posi-
BILE for students in the medical colleges
for three years, only, to be admitted to
practice medicine. The practice will
be discontinued on July /.
The new order has beel4 promulgated
by Secretary Kennedy of the board as
follows:
Resolved, That after July 1. 1906. no
medical college will be regarded as in
good standing with this board that
does not require as a condition for
graduation not less than four courses
Of lectures Of not less than seven
months each, no two of which shall be-
gin or end in the same calendar year;
or that grants any advanced standing
because OF the possession of literary
or scientific degree; nor will the grad.
yates of such colleges after the date
above given be admitted to examina-
ton py the Iowa state board of medical
examiners
Not only will this require every APP
plicant for certificate to show that
he has actually had four years work in
the college from which he has gradu-
alter, but it will require him to have
spent at least seven months at the in
stitution each year. At present the
state university and Drake require nine
months work each year. Keokuk re-
quires seven. 1t is said that none of
the colleges of the state require less
than seven. But this applies to per-
sons from outside the state as we'll as
in it.
This new action brings Iowa to the
standard Of the other states. There
has been some difficulty about making
reciprocal agreements about the ad-
mission Of Iowa physicians to practice
in other states without examination on
account of the laxity of the rules of
this state. 1t Is for this reason that
the new regulation has been made.
1t does not affect the graduates Of
the colleges the coming spring. It does
not take effect until after July 1. But
1t affects all under classmen.
Board Considers Exclusion.
DR.. Coniff of the state board Of
health has been quoted at Sioux City
as saying that he understood the board
to have taken action excluding tubercu-
lar teachers and pupils from the public
schools
Secretary Kennedy was asked yester.
day about 1t again, it having been
stated that the board had not actually
acted in the matter, but was giving
the subject favorable consideration.
DR.. Kennedy said: "The board did
this: 1t received communication from
Ottumwa tri-weekly courier. [volume] (Ottumwa, Iowa) 1903-1916, 1905-11-21

DR.. Kline of Fort Dodge urging it to
adopt the rule to exclude turbercular
persons from the school rooms Of the
state The communication was read
The board expressed favorable com
ment with respect to the recommended
ton. The matter was then referred to
DIR. Linn and myself as a committee to
draft a resolution in conformity with
the suggestion of DR.. Kline. This the
committee will do and present the
same to the board at It's January SEES
sion for passage. 1t may be passed
probably will be, but it has not, yet
been passed."

MISS ALLEGES ROYAL GIFTS.
AppraIsement is Now Being Made at
Georgetown.

Washington, b. c., Nov. 1s.-The ex-
animation and appraisement Of the
presents received by Miss Alice Roche
welt during her visit to the Orient has
begun. The officials at the George
town custom house have begun to open
up the twenty-seven boxes in which
the presents we're shipped and other
souvenirs of the visit which resulted
in a social conquest Of the far east by
the Presidents daughter.
The customs officials say the task is
anything but an easy one, owing to
the necessity laid on them to appraise
the goods on their foreign commercial
value. Only about one-third Of the
boxes have so far been opened and
Collector Nyman and his staff are
said to be somewhat surprised, as the
valuation of their contents will exceed
scarcely few thousand dollars.
Although the presents have laid in
the strong room in the basement of
the Georgetown postofice building, in
which the customs house Is located,
for three weeks guarded night and
day, there is no effort to get rid Of
them quickly. When the President In.
structed that no special hurry was de-
sired and that they should take the
regular course the officials devoted
their attention to appraising the large
amount Of merchandise that had al
ready arrived. They were unusually
busy, owing to the importation Of
Christmas goods.
AS the work of appraising Miss
Roosevelt's presents is being done
along with the other work Of the office,
1t is doubtful IL the last box will have
been examined and the valuation fixed
before next week. Miss Roosevelt
who Is on visit to relatives in Mas
sachusetts, will probably be at home
in time to receive them at the White
House. Some Of the presents she has
not yet seen.
