some Costly Books

,.rha renort calls attention to the fact
that the college does not possess an ex-
tensive library. This Is true but there
are some very costly and very Vaiuaoie
books in the library that cannot no" ne

n medical college is more ornamental than
useful in SO far as the students are con-
cerned. In a four-year course they must
confine their time to attendance on lee
lures and clinics, to demonstrations, ano
to studying their text BOOKS some OF
them might find time in their fourth year
to consult collateral authorities, but IN
the main they must adhere 10 text DOCKS

"While complete equipments are OF
great service to a medical college and ma
terially aid In teaching the science ano
art of medicine, yet. nless accompanied
by true and vitalizing teaching they fall
stubborn and are largely useless. 1t Is
easy to understand that one set of teach
ers supplied with comparatively few
equipments may achieve greater success
In imparting knowledge of the science
and art of medicine than another set who
do their work in a perfunctory way, al
though they may be supplied with all oil

nish That is, the personal equation plays
a large part in teaching medicine fol
which equipments constitute poor substi-
tutes. In the nature of things, report
of the kind under review cannot make
any estimate of this, personal equation.
'iAs said at the outset, such work al
the Carnegie Foundation is undertaking
will undoubtedly materially advance the
educational interests of the country, but
as 1t works out this great reformation
justice should always be done and com
mendation, when deserved should be
given as readily as criticism Is made

Museum Equipment


"Mr Flexner calls the museum small
and mostly composed of antiquated wax
or papier-mache models
"Of what would he have anatomical
nreparations made? These are the ma
tertals that have been employed IN the
past and that are employed now Many
of the preparations are true dissectlohs'
and when Nicholas Sem on the occasion
already mentioned stood before one OF the
latter kind he pronounced 1T worth Its
weight in gold and said that IL was d
lost art and could not now be duplicated.
Further. the preparations in the museum
are pronounced antiquated Anatomy is
inst the same now that it was when tnose
preparations were made; they are true
copies of nature and were made by mas
ter hands. What would you think OF
man who would step into one OF the
greatest picture and statuary galleries or
the world and upon looking around at
the masterful creations should pronounce
them .antiquated? Where In modern art
can their equals be found? So is 1t with
the anatomical preparations In the mu-
scum of the college at Mobile. tQey can
not now be surpassed, If equaled. TO
give an idea of the value of the museum
Il NAV be stated that one of the prepara-
tons cost $1,000

Bibb County Case

The Bibb county case shows the
futility Of special terms to try bad
cases in order that the disorderfy, or
lynch law element. may be appeased.
Men of judgment think special terms
farce. They come under stress and
pressure and 1t is almost impossible to
give fair treatment. When a negro
commits a crime that is atrocious and
is hailed before a special term of a
court, called to deal with him alone.
he Is convicted already, for there is no
likelihood that jurors will be found
who will have the courage to refuse
Implication of the death penalty. Hence
such a trial Is no trial at all, and Is an
injustice both to the accused and the
court
Delays Come just the Same
Delays come in cases of this kind
lust the same. They are appealed to
the supreme court, as was the Mason
outcome, and that body, bent on see
ing that every man, no matter how
humble, has the advantage of all the
law gives looks into his contention as
well and as fully as 1t would that OF
the best sort of man and citizen. If,
of new evidence Is made, the court Is
Just as much obliged and bound by
oath to give full weight to 1t as 1t
would be II the man was at the very
top of the social ladder. Thus there
is the law that justice would have In
the end, II the state would not be put
In the place of bounding and trying
to send to penal servitude or death
those men who are accused, without
allowing them every chance to prove
out of 1t.

Not Old-Fashioned
''Flexner says: The school occupies
well-kept old-fashioned building, recently
remodeed.' =
Anyone reading this comment would
necessarily and inevitably reach the con-
cl,,sion that the building is inadequate
and not we'll adapted to its purpose
Could such persons see the building and
&C through it they would realize now

in 1859 1t was very solidly built-in that
