because OF his Roosevelt afHIiation, and

independence
I would vote for Fairbanks if he were
nominated. He Is an excellent man. and

Corteiyou's boom. I Wonder7
Taft, I am afraid. will have a pretty
hard time OF il TO satisfy the people after
the Strenuous administration of Roosevelt
Many people applaud Roosevelt when
he jumps up and makes a speech CT some
other noise. They're under the impression

Physicians should be the best edu-
Gated Of all professional men. The plane

W f. Mercer Of Philadelphia, at the
New Willard yesterday.
7 hope" continued DR.. Mercer, that IN
the near future all UNIVERSITIES with med
ical departments viii insist upon a four
year course. I DO not mean. however.
that no one without a college education
should be allowed to begin the study OF
medicine.
Strict requirement Of four-yesr col
lege course might cause a shortage in the
supply OF physicians, and unnecessarily
bar many competent men from the study
I Of their chosen profession. It often might
7 be advisable 10 advise high school grad
yates 70 go ahead and begin the study Of
medicine.
Students should not be required 10
study subjects they viii not need. Study
/ that Is merely disciplinary should be de-
I cried. and the preparatory education
should take into consideration the sub
/ jeets that are essential to the profession.
There Is growing conviction that stu
/ dents who intend TO study medicine
/ should have more general education.
/ This cannot be questioned
Men should be trained for citizenship
