The success Of the higher courses led to
the establishment Of the Women's Medical
Institute. Russia has long pointed with
pride to the fact that she was the first
country to permit women to practise as
physicians.
In 1870 professor in the medical school
OF st. Petersburg undertook TO provide
women with instruction in midwifery

sions. Nine. Rodstvenny, now Nine Shau-
yavski, gave so 900 rubles for the medical
education Of her sex, and the Minister of
War allowed the proposed courses 20 be-
gin in the Military Medical Academy.
In 1871 the work was started, and during
the next ten years instruction was given
20 e5o students, mainly from the peasant
class. During the Russo-Turlish war Of
ls77-75 twentyfour Of these students were
sent to the seat of war and acquitted them
selves 80 well that they received permission
70 assume the title of physician after suita-
bic examination, and the right TO wear a
badge was accorded them.

Of the gowns worn by its members. These

SHERIFF PAINTER HONORED
ELECTED VICE PRESIDENT OF
WASHINGTON ASSOCIATION
OF sHERiFFs.
New Association Will Urge LegisIa-
ton Upon Next Session of the
Legislature.

Sheriff Charles S. Painter. who has
been attending session of the
sneriffs of the state of Washington at
Seattle, has been honored with the
Association of Sheriffs, a new organi-
zation just effected by the sheriffs of
the state. L. c. Smith of King coun
ty was elected president and Harry
Knowles of Snohomish, secretary.
The newly formed association will
meet at Olympia, on January 25 to
suggest legislation to the next session
of the legislature and a bill that will
be pushed at that time will be one to
provide that all processes in civil
suits be handled by officers.
1t was pointed out that the sheriffs'
offices were commonly presumed to be
self-supporting, but the collection of
fees at present is not sufficient to meet
expenses Were the legislature to
change the law so as to give into the
sheriff's hands the business of serving
all papers, the revenues accruing to
! the office would be sufficient or near
ly so, to defray current expenses.
Aside from the expense feature in
volved, the sheriffs are urging the
| change on the ground that if all pro-
cesses were served by peace officers
there would be less confusion and more
satisfaction to the litigants. Under
the present system attorneys serve pa
| pers through their clerks or some
! friends, who is not permitted under the
| law to collect fees for his work. The
sheriffs see no reason why this system
| should continue.
Smith Gives Banquet
The meeting of sheriffs adjourned
after a banquet that was rendered
them by Sheriff elect L. S. Smith, of
King county, at the Maison Barberis.
| There were in attendance eleven of the
newly elected sheriffs and several first
deputies representing other officers
