work and his address was eloquent
and convincing.
There are four great events in the
life of every person." said DR.. Cul-
pertson, the first when he is born,
another when he is married and the
last one is his DEATH Usually between
the first and second events which I
nave mentioned there is another very
important event-when the person
passes out of the halls of learning
into some great life work and meets
lie IN its broader phase. It is this
which prepares him for the work Of
his life
Work is the great American princi-
pie 1t is greater end to be aimed
for than financial success, which some
point out to us as the real aim of life.
Inc man Who is a hero in the world
today is not the man who can sum up
his life work in dollars and cents, but
ne is the man who is known for what
he has done and his accomplishments
1t is this principle which makes the
American nation what it is today, and
gives her position among the world $
powers"
According to DR. Culbertson there
are four kinds of work: Work to live,
work to play, work for works sake
and work for Gods sake. In the first
class Dr. Culbertson placed the day La
borers who live from hand to mouth.
The second class are those who en-
gage in some manner of employment
simply as a side line to secure the
means for the furtherance of their
pleasures. The third class, the speak
er described as one of the leading class
es in the work today, and pointed to
Edison and Burbank as striking ex-
amples of this class. But it was the
fourth class Of work that DR.. Culbert-
son held before the young doctors as
the true kind of work and said that
only in this manner of work could the
attainment of true success be reached
and the true purpose of life be con-
sumate6.
go out and win success and dollars
and cents if you can,' said DR.. Culbert-
son in conclusion, "but always remem-
Der the power above which has made
your life possible. Pursue your labors
with view to eternal things not those
of but passing import and pleasure and
above all be above the temptations Of
fered with their charms to your pro-
fession'
DIR. 7. c. Biddle, superintendent of
the Topeka state hospital, made
short address on behalf of the medical
faculty in which he gave the young
doctors considerable wholesome advice
on the general ethics expected in the
profession. Among the attributes of a
successful physician which Mr.. Biddle
names were, honesty. professional
veracity, confidence of the people with
whom the doctor labors, truthfulness
in all dealings with fellow men, prompt
payment Of financial obligations and q
careful avoidance of any kind of debt.
"a doctor is looked to as one of the
leading citizens of a community" said
DR.. Biddle. HE ranks high citi-
zen and he must be of an altruistic
turn of mind, always ready to further
anything good in his community. He
must also be Of unimpea chable charac-
ter, as the time for the inebriate and
libertine in the medical profession has
passed"
