and volumes on the history of medicine
made by DR.. Robinson shortly before
his death. The collection is to be

in honor of the donor and his wife, DR..
Lucy Waite.
The whole Collection, amounting to

complete library on anatomy and the
history of medicine of any state institu-
lion, and one of the best in any medical
chool in the country.
Funds for scholarship in anatomy

school valued at $3.50 year are also
provided in the bequest. This will be
known as the Byron Robinson scholar
ship in anatomy. and will be held by
both men and women in medicine. The
purpose of this scholarship is to encour-
age the anatomical, physiological and
pathological study of the sympathetic
nervous system.
DIR. Robinson was native of Wiscon-
sin, born in Hollandale in 1856. He
was a graduate of the University OF
Wisconsin in 1878, and of Rush Medical
College in 1882. He practiced in Grand
Rapids, Wis, for some years, and then
after studying abroad, located in
Chicago, where he won recognition as

grain of responsiveness in his being
must feel himself sharer in the Won
derful happiness Of the hour.
ut worked all right, dad, this sur
prise that we planned for you, didn't
it?" asked the captain Of his father.
'.It worked all right. my son, and for
a surprise that didn't surprise may be
considered a success of the most brill
liant order. When received your let

and her mother the whole story was
clear as print to me.

OUR MEMORIAL DAY
An Active Campaign Planned for
its Proper. Observance.

An Active Campaign Planned for
its Proper Observance.
In conformity with the general orders
from national headquarters, Grand
Army of the Republic, an active cam
paign against the, dissertation of
Memorial Day in discouraging all
sporty amusements on that days
planned by the G.. A. r. Posts of the
different departments of the country.
George Fl. Legate Post of this city
takes pride in the following sentimen.
pronounced by Mr.. r. M. Priestley, a
worthy son of the first commanderj of
the local post, and the Post also takes
pride in the patriotic stand always
taken by. our city authorities and
citizens generally in the observance of
the day. Believing Mr. Priestley's
sentiment to be in.line with the above
order, George H. Legate Post requests
that the same be given for publication.
In his Memorial day address at Dodge
vile, Mr.. Priestley said:
"While this day loyal Americans,
north and south, shade their grief with
pride, no person, rightly constituted and
with even the the slightest conception
of the proprieties, would make this a
day of merrymaking and sport.
while flowers are falling on the
countless graves of our dead, while
loving hearts call back today the sacred
memories of the past, while a nations
heart throbs for its lost sons. this is no
time for wrestling matches, horse rae
ing, baseball, and the like. There is
something lacking in the fibre of the
man who has no sense of the fitness
of things.
mo man believes in the liberty OF the
individual than myself, but 1 would
welcome law upon our Statue books
that would make the all too common
Dissertation of this day penal offense.
"a man has the right to conduct
himself as he sees fit until he becomes
obnoxious to his neighbors; and law,
that would curb the propensities of
those who can find nothing higher than
holiday spirit in this day Of national
mourning, would be welcome indeed to
the vast majority of our people who
hold this day to be our national
Sabbath

She Teaches Correct Speech.

A woman of culture and travel has
made glorious success teaching correct
speech. 1t is surprising how much in
correct RECOMMENDATIONS, wrong use of
words, and unmusical intonations. The
Southerner holds to the soft, rless ut
terance of his nanny" days; the
Middlewesterner fattens all his yowels;
the Bostonian throws his RS completely
out of joint. This woman undertook to
correct such errors and teach pure,
perfect, English speech to few young
women. She became SO successful that
she was compelled to start school Of
correct English which has grown to
great proportions. This particularly
promising field is open in every town in
America. THE Delineator for July.
