Miss May Fitzgerald.
Last evening Miss Fitzgerald was
the guest of honor at most pleasurable
gathering at the home of Blair,
lIibernia-st. The hospitable hostesses
entertained the choir members in first
class style. Cards, dancing and music
were enjoyed, a very tasty lunch being
served at midnight.
At suitable point in the evenings

neat surprise in the presentation to
her of handsome gold chain and
locket, set in diamonds, the gift of the
choir members. Miss Blair made the
presentation, the accompanying ad
dress being read by Mr.. Wagner.
The presentation came as complete
surprise to Miss Fitzgerald, but she re-

reply, thanking the donors for the
splendid memento of their esteem.--

Last evening the members of St.
JOsephs Church choir assembled at the
home of Miss Blair, Hibernia street,
and presented Miss Fitzgerald, who has
recently resigned her position as organ
ist, with an address and gold locket
and chain. Miss Helen Blair made the
presentation, and Mr.. Oscar Warner
read the address. Three years ago
Miss Fitzgerald took charge of st.

which she has had charge, she has been
untiring in the efforts put forth to
raise the choir to its present state of
perfection.

been killed in an automobile accident
This fact Of course, makes It simple
matter for surgeons to procure at snort
notice almost any amount of the particular
material required either from persons
killed recently by accidents or from
those who have died from some special all
ment. Thus a man may died or kidney
trouble. and yet have a sound brain; or
from brain trouble. and yet have good
lungs stomach, liver. etc. There should
not then be the slightest difficulty In get
ting any kind and amount OF material that
happens TO be wanted at any time. Merely
a select part Of what has been thrown
away wholesale will now be kept carefulIy
on ice for future use. The logic OF the
idea appears to be excellent, and, with the
wonderful progress made possible by I'M
proved methods OF operating, many OF us
may live to the time when such scourges
as diabetes, locomotor ataXia, paresls or
softening Of the brain, tuberculosis OF the
lungs, progressive muscular atrophy (wast-
ing). Bright's disease and even cancer may
be radically cured.
The rationale Of the surgical cure or
these now practically incurable diseases
would be somewhat as follows: First, da-
betes is a manifestation Of an excessive
quantity Of sugar in the blood, which must
be eliminated abnormally by the kidneys.
The disease is caused by some derange-
ment I'm the functioning Of the liver, which
should take perfect care Of all the sugar
taken into the system; and this derange-
ment may in its turn be caused by some
New-York tribune., 1911-11-19

part of another body. The most eminent
surgeons argue that If foreign finger Will
grow In the place of one which has been
cut off. then a foreign portion, say, Ci
kidney, should grow in the place made by
the removal Of the diseased portion OF
kidney. In other words, they would at
tack certain diseases upon which medi-
cines have no effect, with the knife. and
afterward completely repair the damage. II
Is only by this mode Of procedure, they
contend, that many diseases. which are at
present incurable, may be cured absolutely.
Where to procure the substitute organ
or part Of one was often an insurmountable
problem. Now. however, the discovery
that portions Of living animal tissue can
be preserved for a considerable time by
cold storage seems to invest with practi-
cability what was once only dream.
Much Of the healthy human material OBJ
tained In certain operations, which has
been heretofore thrown away, may now
be kept in refrigerating rooms for future
use. 1t will be surprising to the layman TO
hear that much of the tissue Of a dead as
well as OF live body remains healthy for
a considerable time Death in the ordinary
sense, which results from the heart ceasing
to beat. by no means kills instantly all the
body tissues Hence. since the great dis
covery that healthy tissue can be kept for
some time in cold storage, it has also been
found that tissue from persons who have
lately died grows as well when trans
planted to other bodies as do tissues taken
from live bodies. Only the other day In

York City or elsewhere.
Students Will be employed by the bureau
in a capacity similar TO that OF appren-
tices They w1l be set TO work at pre-
scribed problems Of research and their
work will be used by the bureau, so far as
practicable; Nut the principal purpose al
ways will bo educational. Schools, lectures
and general reading are. Dr. Allen says or
little use in accomplishing the desired re-
suit The work is practical; that of ap-
piled science. The business Of the teach
ers in this novel school will be TO direct
supervise and criticise the field work OF
the few students who, it is planned, VIII
be enrolled during the first year.
After comforting with leading men IN
many walks Of life Mrs Hartman has be-
come convinced that the cry now IS lot
trained men; that the desire for trained
men and the knowledge OF their need Is
increasing but that there IS no source OF
supply She was told by competent au-
thorities that there was no place where
those who wanted it could get the profes-
s!onal training that everywhere in the
country, If even only a small part of what
the monthly muckrakers tell US is true is
coming to be recognized as needed.
Mrs. Hartman returned to the city few
DAYS ago after a short absence. Among
her first acts was the making of an ap-
pointment with DR.. Allen relative to the
way the new enterprise had taken hold.
Have you received many applicauons|'
she asked him on the telephone.
"At the rate of about twenty-five each
mail" DR. Allen replied.
Let me have a look at them, please
Are they from the kind Of men we wish
most TO interest in this work?' she con-
tinued.
"Of the twenty-five applications in this
mornings mail, twenty are from university
men with special training along at least
one line Of work" he replied.
THAT is splendid" said Mrs. Hartman
Il am 50 glad the start looks so encour-
aging. Bring the letters TO me, II you Will
please. this afternoon at s."
The letters were from expert account
ants employed In the auditing departments
of railroads and other corporations; two
government employees, bank examiner. a
teacher of history and government in an
upstate high school, a graduate Of West
Point who is now a Cost engineer" Of
large manufacturing concern, a civil en-
gineer and efficiency expert in the West
an Inspector Of weights and measures and
four lawyers.
THE forms OF instruction now given in
universities and schools OF accountancy or
practical politics do not fit men for ef-
hcient public service" said DR.. Allen,
holding the batch Of applications in his

, hands. THE training school hopes TO do
So"
do you mean TO say that municipal de-
partment heads cannot now find trained
employees, or merely that there is a lack
Of money available TO tempt capable men?'
Dr. Allen was asked.
You can't find the trained men," re-
piled DR.. Allen. 1T IS not a question OF
money. We have schools OF agriculture, or
forests, Of commerce, Of transportation OF
journalism, to meet the need for trained
workers in those departments Of special
lied activity. The need for practical train
ing in municipal administration IS no less
urgent. The only difference is that 1t IS
only now being perceived
Mere officeholding furnishes inadequate
training for municipal administration. In
fact, the officeholder thus trained is likely
TO present an example filter TO avoid than
to follow. Inehiclency may be cured only
by training a class OF men TO higher ad-
ministrative standards. We need men
whose training will enable them 10 organ
ize and administer municipal departments
in harmony with new requirements and
new standards
Now, there is no literature for teaching
facts Of government. There are no facts
from which such literature can be pre-
pared. Lectures about Aristotle don't help
a man understand the business aspect Of
government"
How should a man go about the busl-
ness OF entering Mrs. Harrimans training
school?" DR.. Allen was asked.
I'm the first place, Mrs. Hartman has
stipulated that it shall not be called her
training school," he replied. Mrs. Harri-
man is very anxious that her name be elm
mated so far as possible.
''lhe first year we shall probably be
unable TO train more than twenty men.
Eventually there should be no limit TO the
number we can handle. Wen say there is
man just out Of college who wishes 10
enter this school We can pay him moth
ing, even If we should be able TO accom-
modate him. We are looking this first year
for men who have been successful as ex-
perts in other fields-engineers, account
ants, lawyers. etc.
I'm the case Of a man OF that type who
cannot afford to take the course in prac-
tical field work-who, In other words. can
not afford TO pay his board-we will ar
range that his expenses are met out OF the
fund. He must be an expert who can't
negotiate his skill in the market OF munich
pal affairs For very good men we will pay
salaries"
Asked whether he felt convinced that
efficient men would be used If we had a
supply Of them Dr. Allen said:

DR.. Allen promises that he absolutely
never will.
Asked how much money would be paid
by the hackers Of the school for experts
in other fields who might wish to under
take to become trained In government,
DR. Allen said the average salary would
be less than $500 year. He added that
the school would, however, be at liberty
TO pay $1,000, $1,000, $4,000 or even at the
rate Of $4,000 a year. when convinced
that the applicants were of the type pos
sessing the large grasp Of affairs neces-
sary to develop into real successes.

salaries would hardly be feasible. Often

ment than TO take on ten men wishing TO
volunteer their time. To make available
for textbook and handbook uses the in
vestigations of these special students will
cost almost dollar for dollar what the in
vestigations themselves will cost"
When John p Mitchell. President OF the
Board of Aldermen. was asked about the
new training school he said:
MY own experience, both as Commits
sioner of Accounts and in my present office,
has convinced me that the type OF man
qualified by training. experience, native
ability and initiative TO perform the work
OF even minor subordinate positions in the
city is so rare as 10 be practically unob-
tainable.
while 1t has been possible to find men,
for instance. In the field OF accountancy
with thoroughly satisfactory technical
training and with sufficient native ability.
they have lacked both experience In mu-
niclpal business and the point OF view
which comes only by contact with govern
mental problems and association with men
Of progressive ideas. which. only when all
combined as factors. produce thoroughly

Cannot the universities teach the neces-
sary forms OF Instruction." Mr. Mitchell
was asked.
From my own university experience and
my later experience in public office he re-
piled. 81 have discovered that the universi-
ties cannot fill the demand for this particu-
lar kind of training. believe that the uni

OF CAT IN EXCEL
LENT HEALTH, MADE TWENTY
ONE DAYS AFTER HER OWN KID.
NEYS HAD BEEN REMOVED AND
REPLACED BY THOSE OF AN
OTHER CAT.

these substitutions have already been
made successfully, but not, as yet, in
cases Of serious organic disease OF any Of
the great vital organs, such as the heart.
lungs and brain. That surgery will not one
day accomplish even this great triumph is,
however, by no means certain.
We have already alluded to the prime
importance OF detecting the beginning OF
degeneration in any tissue, so as to be able,
by prompt extlrpation and subsequent sub
stitution Of like but normal tissue, to nip
in the bud, as 1t were, the fatal spread OF
/ the disease. To see the internal organs,
however, through the living skin and
/ flesh, that we may Judge whether or not
they are diseased, has until very recently
been impossible. True, the X-ray reveals
TO us the bony skeleton, but, as It passes
through all the other parts Of the body,
it shows nothing else. Right here let us
understand clearly what Is the precise
mode of action of the X-ray.
All light vibrates. red light having the
longest and violet light the shortest rate
Of vibration, or wave length, OF ordinary
forms Of light. The X-ray, however, dis
covered about twenty-five years ago, has
wave length Of such extreme minuteness,
far shorter even than that Of violet light,
that it will pass through apparently solid
flesh, or, more exactly, through the inter-
stices between the molecules Of the flesh.
but not through bone. because of the much
greater denseness of the latter. Hence,
when these rays are sent through the
human body they cast a perfect shadow
only of the bones; whereas ordinary light
rays with their comparatively long wave
lengths, would penetrate neither bone nor
flesh, and would therefore cast shadow
of the entire body. In other words, the
effect of sending X-rays through the hu-
man body is similar to that which would
be obtained by sending plain light rays
through fine netting in the middle Of
which was an iron ball; the light rays
would pass through the meshes Of the
netting but not through the ball, whence
they would cast a shadow only Of the ball
and the fine lines of the netting. The flesh
OF the body, then, is TO the exceedingly
short X-rays what fine netting is to the
much longer light rays.
If only we could make certain organs as
mpervious to the X-rays as are the bones,
thought the scientists, we could then
catch the shadows Of these organs upon
screen and actually see them at work. Dr.
W. B. Cannon, OF the Harvard Medical
School in Boston, accomplished this with
the stomach. He took cat made II fast
for twelve hours and then fed II sener-
Gus meal of bread and milk which had
been thoroughly mixed with subnitrate OF
bismuth, a harmless non-irrItating powder
found TO be impervious to the X-ray.
The next step was to take moving pic
lures Of the cats stomach while In the
process of digesting this peculiarly pre-
pared meal, and this DR.. Cannon did sue

, ton splendidly. Mrs. Hartman asked Mr..
! Fosdick for his opinion on that very point
and he told her he was constantly brought
in close touch with university men anxious
TO identify themselves actively with some
practical form of special work-parucular-
ly on the side of municipal government.
He told Mrs Hartman that at the pres
ent time there appears to be no opening for
men OF this stamp They are unframed In
public work, he said, and know nothing,
either of the intricacies Of municipal ma
chinery or Of modern business practices as
applied to city government"
Mr. Fosdlck was dubious, then. of the
probability that trained men would be utl-
lized even If we had them?" asked the re-
porter.
"On the contrary, he said he believed
such a school would stimulate a demand
for college men 10 enter public life, par
ticularly in the field of municipal affairs.
On one or two occasions, he said, he had
tried TO get young college men in his Of
fee, but their lack OF training made the eX-
pertinent very problematical.
He pointed out that municipal govern
ment was becoming so complex and special
lied that trained experts We're needed in all
departments adequately TO handle Its many
details. Mr.. Fosdick believes that school
of municipal administration would not only
serve as an inducement to college men Of
high ideals to take up this calling, thus
bringing an influx Of fresh blood into new
field but would provide source from
which officials in this city and other cities
could obtain trained employees Of the right
sort.
He told Mrs. Hartman that Mayor
Gaynor had many times asked him to rec
cmmend young men whose Ideas are not
yet rusted,' as the Mayor expressed 1t, to
hll some position requiring an Intimate
