M|N0T NORMAL SCHOOL
wins With 10000 MAJORITY

That the voters of North Dakota
are overwhelmingly In favor Of nor
mai school at Minot is evident from
the official election returns just an
nounoed by the state canvassing
board which shows q majority of over
10000 for the proposition.
The vote was as follows:
For the school. 1872.
Against normal school, 25,743.
1t is seea from this that the senti-
ment sf tho people Of the state is
overwhelmingly In favor Of the nor.
maj school.
Now that the people have express
cd their choice the state legislature
should pass an appropriation bill in
keeping with the wishes of the peo-
pie as Expressed at the election.
Minot legislators and physicians
sat side by side at the banquet of the
Northwestern Medical association at
the Leland hotel, and the features Of
the proposed medical bill recommend.
ed by the State Medical association
were explained in detail.
The banquet followed a business
session at the Commercial club. DR.,
H. M. Healey of Grand Forks, presi-
dent of the state association. was the
guest Of honor at the banquet. The
representatives, elect attended the
banquet and discussed with the pny.
sicians the proposed bill
Under the terms of the bill it II
proposed to create single medical
board for the examination OF all who
desire to practice surgery in any form
in tho state. The examination that
wtll be given will be particularly on
the quest1oa a d1ag1edo.
The board would bs composed OF
members to be appointed by the gov-
crnor on or before August. This
board would take the place Of the
peeseut board that has been estab-
lished for several years Two exam
nations each year are proposed, one
to be held in January and the other
in July.
On the question of regulations, 1t Is
provided that the board snail from
time to time adopt such rules ana
regulations as may be necessary for
the performance Of it's duties, and a
schedule Of minimum educational re-
quirementg, which shall be without
prejudice, partiality, or discrimination
- 20 schools or systems Of practice
OF medicine.
In support of their measure the ply
sicians declare that the method of
treating cases is not nearly 50 i'm
portant from the point of view Of the
examining board az IL the fitness OF
the man to properly diagnose Q case.
and this is one Of the points on which
they will make their principal claim
for the passage Of the proposed meas
ure.
The meaning Of the term, "practice
OF medicine" the bill provides that "a
person shall be regarded az practlc-
ing medicine who holds himself out to
the public of this state az being en-
gagged in the diagnosis or treatment
Of diseases or injuries of human be-
ings." There are great many quail
fications necessary, while osteopathy,
as seen from q medical point Of view,
is also defined.
