At the recent dinner given by An
drew Carnegie, an eminent lawyer,
seated halfway down the table, was
deeEly immersed In conversation with
his neighbor when the host opened
up the subject Of the British coinage

declaimed, has the decimal system,
while England adheres to the absurd
and cumbrOus table of pounds, shill-

EnnIand,s Oldest School

A controversy has arisen in England
as to which school has the right to
claim greatest age. There are two
schools which were founded in the
early part of the seventh century-the
Kings school, Rochester, and the
Kings school, Canterbury. Justus. on
his appointment to the see of Roches-
ter in 6O4, made provision for a school
in connection with the cathedral. Au-
gustine established the Canterbury
school about the same time. st. Pc

There were never before any SO good.
and science stands ready to repel any
insinuation to tho contrary. Indi-
vidual physicians may not pose as
curc-alls. but they have the satisfac-
ton Of knowing that they know more
cbout what they do attempt to cure
than ever did the doctors OF schools
gone by.
The science OF medicine has marched
forward wonderfully in late years.
New fields are being opened up; the
door OF hope for the sick is
wider open than ever before in the
annals of the human race. The gem
eral health OF the community Is bet
ter than 1t used TO be; preventive
medicine has risen up to down the
dread spectres OF terrible epidemics.
The science OF public health is making
great strides; the State is looking
after the conservation of the life and
health OF its citizens as never before,
In hundreds of laboratories, keen
eyed scholars and scientists are
solving the mysteries of ages and in
small test tubes great diseases are
giving up their secrets. Cleanliness
and antisepsis are the rule, where once
they were the exception.
Yes. your doctor is better than your
fathers was, and very much better
than your srandfather's was, Mar
vellous, aye magical. progress, has
been made in all the branches Of the
medical profession. and, as medical
knowledge has grown. so have its ex-
pononts become wiser, more efficient
physicians. In the medical profession,
the sloven, the quaok and the old
fogy are vanishing with the mists
OF a brighter day. Hospitals are
rising on all sides, laboratories are
being built everywhere. the medical
schools, with higher standards than
ever, are pouring out trained and brill
liant men, who are driving before
them the crude methods and Scant
knowledge of another day. Standards
are higher than ever before, and the
people are thinking more about
their health. The new.fashioned
doctor is better than the old-fash-
toned doctor could have been, and so
long as the law of evolution lasts the
medical profession will grow better
and more powerful every day.
