taminatiOn for registered and aSs1s-
tant druggists brought out in a
striking manner the efficient train
ing that the pharmacy students at
the Agricultural college receive. Out
of total of forty who took the ex-
animation or full registered pharma-
cist, nine met the requirements of
the board, and of that nine three,
all who entered from the Agricultu-
raj college, passed creditably. OF
the twelve who wrote for assistants
papers, nine passed, and four, the
entire number entered from, the
Agricultural college, made good. In
other words, the per centage of
those who passed was-Agricultural
college students, 100 per cent; all
others, 24.4 per cent. One of the
most interesting facts brought out
by an examination Of the records of
former pharmacy students Is the
fact that very large proportion, es-
timated by Dean Ladd at ninety per
cent of the total number who go out
from the school become active drug
gists or druggists assistants within
the borders Of the state that educae -
them. While there is and must be

state to another and vice versa, 1t
is especially pleasing to know that in
our own state our students are in
such demand that practically all re-
main in North Dakota, and that a
large percentage Of them are in busi-
ness for themselves at the present
time. The salaries that these men
command varies all the way from
$50 and upward for a an assistant to
$125 for man with the training
and ability to take charge of drug
store, while the rewards for men
with the capital to go in on their
own account are proportion1y larger.
Last year six North Dakota boys
took the state board examination in
South Dakota, in competition with
strong field and out of the entire
list five Of the Agricultural men
stood at the top. Such a record as
this can be won only on the COM
bined merit Of the men who took
the examination, and of the school
which gave to them the training for
it. To become an assistant phar-
macist it is required in this state
that the man shall have two years
experience in actual drug store work
and be able to pass the state board
examination The full registered
pharmacist must have four years
experience, allowance for two of
which is given to those who attend
some school of pharmacy, and in ad-
dition be able to pass the state board
examinations. Among those who
have graduated from the Agricultu
raj college, and are at present in
positions of trust may be mentioned
Ross Fowler, graduate of the
school, now owner Of a drug store
at Hankinson; David dollhouse, who
is proprietor of a drug business at
Bowman; D. c.. Simmons, who holds
q position as assistant Oh emist with
the Minneapolis Drug company, and
Ions A. Oleson, druggist for the St.
These are few examples only out
of large number that might be
cited of those who, due to efficient
training are making good as repre-
sentatives of the, state and of the
school in which they received their
training. Dean Ladd was asked the
other day to what he attributed the
success Of the students taking the
state board examination, aud he re-
piled, that in his opinion the thing
which meant the most to them, apart
from their own efforts and the sindi-
vidual ability of. the members of the
faculty, was the ex-
cellent team work Of that faculty,
in developing and bringing out the
best that there was in the men. Its
record has been one Of continuous
and consistent, effort to give the best
and get the best out Of the student.
Professor Zeifie. who last April came
to the institution as successor Ito Dr..
Brown, has fully sltained the stand
ards OF work set by that educator,
and has shown marked ability to
grasp, d new situation and develop
his material effectively, and natur
ally he, together With the other
members Of the pharmaceutical fac
sulty, congratulate themselves on the
excellent showing made at the recent
state board examinat ions. The
catalogue soon to be mailed shows
that during the past year seventy
four students were enrolled In this
course, and with this large number
