as he was indicted into Office as chief
executive That he has proven dis
appointment is now acknowledged by
many who helped to elect him. So far
he has manifested but little of the COM
ponent parts of a great man, and his
action yesterday in practically insult
ing Congressman Harrison and the
constituency he represents is the best
index of his contracted mind. That
the president of the United States
should have stopped to show his resent
ment toward a representative of the
people is a sad commentary upon the
present occupant Of the White House,
and while calculated to cause further
drop in Mr.. Taft's thermometer it Is
sure to make Mr.. Harrison many
friends The man who uses his official
position to snub or ill-treat those who
are persona non grata to him is un-
worthy Of the trust imposed in him.
= The offense is more glaring when a
representative of a free people is the
victim of such vengeance. Yesteru. 5

Of the recommendations of the board

schools is victory for these nations.
Germany made a hard fight to have
her language adopted, but the influence
OF large number of Chinese students,

land brought about the adoption of
the English language All examina-
lions for diplomas in scientific and

FRIDAY EVENING, JUNE9.

DRASTIC criticism of American medl-
cal colleges and of the whole American
system OF medical education Is contain
ed in a report issued today by the Car
neeie Foundation for the Advancement
Of Teaching. 1t charges that the edu-
cational staEding required Of entering
students is too low; that the instruction
furnished in most Of the schools Is OF
poor quality and laboratory, hospital
and dispensary facilities grlevously IN
ADEQUATE: that thirty well-equlpped
schools. under proper system, would
do better service than the 100 schools
now in existence, and that as a result
Of present conditions the country is be-
ing oversupplied with ill-tralned doc
tors. 10 the detriment Of the profession
and the endangering of the public
health. The significant facts which the
report proves are, in President Pritch-
ett's Judgment, the following
Fjrst-There has been for Il quarter
Of century past an enormous over
production Of il-trained doctors; sec
ond, this oyersupply of ill-trained men
is to be ascribed to the existence of in
dependent or proprietary schools, com
mcrcially managed, and dependent on
fees for support; third, the cheap quality
OF most of the instruction furnished by
medical schools; fourth, the fallacy OF
the idea that these ineffective schools
are justified by the argument that they
enable poor boys to get chance IN the
medical profession; fifth, the necessity
for a complete revision of the arrange
ments that now hold as between medi-
cal schools and the hospitals III which
their clinical instruction is given.
