DR.. William Osler, formerly of Johns
hopkins University and now Regius Pro-
lessor of Oxford, in talk to the Medical
Journal Club last week, spoke rather dis
paragingly of the work of American col
leges. In referring to the Rhodes scholars
rom this country at Oxford he said many
of them would not attain their degrees
because they had not been properly
taught. He suggested that in this coun-
try teaching was followed by men for
other reasons than to promote the well
fare of those whom they taught, by say
ing that in England school teaching was
taken up as a life profession, and was a
calling that was looked upon as an hon
ored one The doctor expressed the opin-
ion that in the next four years not more
than two or three young men from this
country holding Rhodes scholarships
would attain the degrees they sought.

him to put on his trousers and over
coat and pair of slippers. In the
overcoat pocket was the revolver with
which he shot himself. He always car
ried il there. Therefore, when he
started he could not have thought of
the weapon.
Soon after his departure Mrs. Walk
er heard a noise in the rear of the
yard. but she thought at the time that
the boys had struck something with i
stone. a moment later she thought of
Mr.. Walker and went out to him.
When she opened the door she saw
him partly sitting and partly leaning
against a post. His face was covered
with blood. and in his right hand he
held the revolver with the muzzle still
pointed at his head. Mrs. Walker
screamed and fell unconscious a shor;

was heard by Surveyor General Ingalls,
who lives next door. He hurried 10

coroner and to the sheriffs office.
Deputies Cunningham and King
went TO the house and soon after, Act
ing Coroner Burnett arrived with the
jury whose work was simple and quick
ly performed. The case presented no
puzzling features.
The sheriff had shot himself twice
i'm the head. Either OF the wounds
might have caused death. The first
shot struck him on the right side OF
the chin and emerged at the inner cor
ner OF the left eye. The second shot
entered the right temple and the point
of exit was on the left side OF the
crown of the head. Death was not in

conscious after he was found.

give Brooder chicks exercise.

A great mistake with brooder chicks
is usually made by penning them up
or combining too close. To be sure, the
first day or two they can stay in the
brooder, then few days or about a
week in small yard several feet
square in front of brooder. But after
they are week old they should have a
yard fifty or sixty feet square or, BET
ter, free range. 1t will not do to try to
raise chicks in a small yard. They
viii simply get stunted and die of.
All grain should be scattered in litter
or grass, SO they will work for it.
When the weather is bad early in the
spring the brooder, with the chicks,
should be set into dry building, so
chicks can work indoors most of the
time, but should be allowed to get out
into the open air every day. It must
be understood that exercise Is abso-
luteIy necessary to a chicks life. Food
alone will not raise a chick
