Saratoga Springs, N Y. Sept u
Theodore Roosevelt. ex-President of the
United States. was elected temporary
chairman of the Republican State Con
vention by a vote of 56s to 443 at
D m to-day. Of the lois delegates to
the convention Colonel Roosevelt him
self did not vote. and Vice-President
Sherman. his opponent for the nonina
ton, voted for John Doe. and two of
the New York delegates did not respond
when their names were called.
The "oId guard" died hard. At no
time did it's methods rise to anything
approaching dignity. and in its death

William Barnes. jr. and his associates

character of the speech with which Cru

President Sherman and opposed that Of
Colonel Roosevelt was typical of the
mental attitude of those members of the
Republican party who steadfastly refuse
TO recognize the arrival Of the new order
and the fact that their adherence to
methods and measures which the party
as a whole has come TO repudiate means
inevitably their elimination from posi-
tions of power and influence.
And when the convention had declared
its will in unmistakable terms, and
chosen Theodore Roosevelt as the repre-
sentative of it's views and aims. the "old
guard submitted only perforCe and with
loud cries of anguish to the adoption OF
the very rules which IL has invaria bly,
enforced. and did not hesitate to utter
loud cries of gag rule because the
parliamentary procedure of the General
Assembly was adopted and enforced

Wadsworth Logical and Seductive.

Sneaker James W. Wadsworth, IT.,
came forward as the opponent of the
adoption of the rules by which the old
guard has always controlled previous
conventions and which as Speaker he
has never hesitated to enforce. II IS
due TO Mr.. Wadsworth TO say that ne
presented his objections in manner at
once logical and seductive. but II was
impossible to escape the fact that MS
position and that of the discredited fac
ton which ne represented was wholly
unreasonable and Inconsistent
The convention. having made and won
its fight in the contest over the tenn
norarv craftsmanship. refused to be be-
guiled into a reversal of Its position or
into the minimizing of its victory. and
not only were the parliamentary rules

VERSITY MEDICAL SCHOOL.
Advantages Of National Capital as
Field Of Study-Gives
Hospital Practice.

While II Is well known that there ex-
ist medical schools in Washington, 1t
probably never occurred to prospective
medical students 10 consider the advan-
tages possessed by the National Capital
for the study. OF the profession. 1t is ex-
planned that while the local medical
schools may not be as large as similar
institutions elsewhere, such. to a certain
extent, Is an advantage. The teaching
forces of the medical schools here, 1t
is added. serve. practically without re-
Enumeration for their services, and are
actuated wholly by a love of their pro-
fesson and an enthusiasm which even
large salaries could not command.
Small medical schools, 1t is pointed out,
mean small classes. and the advantages
derived from this fact are self-evident
Where classes are large personal atten-
tion can scarcely be given to the indi-
vidual members. and without this per-
sonal and direct contact with the teacher
IL is declased, modern medicine cannot
be properly taught.
Georgetown University medical school
aims 10 remain a small one for the rea-
sons mentioned. 1t is announced to be
fully equipped for the work il has to do
and keeps itself abreast OF the times 1t
has time and again enlarged the labora-
tory facilities. which form such an i'm
portant part OF the medical curriculum
and last. but not least, has a hospital in
which the medical student may attain a
knowledge of disease through observa-
tion and bedside teaching which didac-
tic lectures or book study could never
give him. In fact, the last two years
Of medical study are almost entirely
spent within the hospital walls: the lee
lures and demonstrations of former
days have been relegated to a subsidiary
position. Here again small classes and
individual personal instruction are the
keynotes of the educational methods The
result OF such training Is seen in the
product turned out. For the last few
years. II is stated, every graduate has
successfully passed a competitive exam
ination for a hospital appointment, and
In many instances has had to compete
with graduates from the foremost medi-
cal schools of the country.

IMPORTANT BILLS PASSED BIZ
MARYLAND LEGISLATURE.
Prince George County to Get Sew
eral New Structures-Tax
Rate Increased.

The recent session OF the Maryland
legislature passed an unusually large
number Of bills designed to improve the
school system Of the state. and for the
betterment Of the condition OF the teach
ers whose salaries. In certain sections OF
the commonwealth, are ridiculously
measer considering the nature Of the
work expected to be performed. A num-
ton OF new school houses in Prince
George county. which adjoins the Dis
trict OF Columbia. The natural over
now of the population OF Washington
into Maryland territory has materially
increased the demands for school accom-
modations In Chillum. HyattsvilIe. Kent
and oxon Hill districts. and the legisla-
tors were wise enough to see the neces-
sity for affording adequate room for the
rapidly increasing number of pupils.
One OF the most important adequate
laws enacted so far as concerns the
schools of Prince George county was
that TO NIX the minimum rate OF taxauoh
TOT public school purposes NJ % cents on
eacn 500 of assessed property.
This bill was introduced by Delegate
Sonnick OF Prince George county, him.

known throughout Maryland. This rate
oi 20 cents - but slightly In excess OF
tnat levied in the past, the main object
OF the bill being 10 secure, in the event
OF an increase in the taxable basis OF the
county. proportionate increase In the
amount levied for school purposes. The
county commissioners last year levied for
general school purposes $4,000. and the
amount 10 be levied this year. under the
provisions OF the bill. will be $34. S4663.
IL Is probable that under the new assess

$l6.Oo.OOO. and the schools Of the county
will get about $4,000.

.LEONARDTOWN SCHOOLS
ST. NARY COUNTY, MD, OFFERS
EDUCATIONAL ADVANTAGES.
Convent Founded twenty-five Years
Ago Followed by Boys School,
Started in 1909.

The educational advantages and re-
sources OF st. Mary county. Md. are
coming rapidly to the fore. Its mild
and healthful climate, pure and abundant
water supply. its fertile soil. its level
fields for athletic grounds and its pic
turesque bays. inviting students to every
form OF aquatic sport. seem to combine
to make st. Mary county attractive to
the projectors Of educational enterprises.
The relative isolation Of the county
may account for this. Yet II seems only
an added advantage. because 1t places
the students away from the dangers OF
town life and surrounds them with
the refinement characteristic of the de-
scendants Of Maryland's old colonial aris-
tocracy. Fortunately some recent events
have brought these resources into more
public notice.
Last May the sisters Of st. Mary
Academy at Leonardtown. Md. ceiebrat-
ed the silver jubilee OF that institution.
1t was founded in 1885. at the initiative
OF Rev. Charles X. Jenkins. ST.. who
invited from Nazareth. KY. the Sisters
OF st. Mary. who alone out OF ten religious
orders which examined the field hazarded
the difficulties to be overcome. Their
spirit of enterprise has been rewarded
by a convent school which Is the most
imposing educational structure in the
county.
In Picturesque Surroundings.
The school is built on high. level ground
overlooking a beautiful ravine. presenting
from its upper windows panorama OF
Britton's bay. a picturesque inlet. The
convent has excellent sanitary equipment
and Is supplied with artesian water. II
accommodates fifty boarding pupils and
slightly larger number Of day pupils. Be-
sides the essentials of a grammar high
