pacity, which will be supplied by
windmill near the house.
Although the work was not done
by contract, the main carpenters
were Andy Molter and Andy Ritter
the greater amount of work being
done by day-labor. under the super
vision of Mr.. Lemler. himself. The
work is being pushed, and it is
thought that it will be completed in
about two weeks. The total cost is
placed at $500, although some esti-
mate it higher than that. Regard
less of cost, however, the new barn
is one Of the finest in Marshall coun-
ty and the residents of the south
side probably do not realize the
valuable acquisition gained by them.
1t is stated by several who know
of the building, that it would make
an ideal dairy barn. The location
being SO near to the creamery, it
may be that some day great dairy
will be operated on the Leniier farm.

The number of women in medicine

report on medical education during

there were $50 women studying med

and decrease of PAL below 1909.
The percentage of ~ medical stud

George Lemler, who resides at the
extreme end of South Michigan
street, is now engaged in erecting
one of the most. if not the most prac-
teal barn in Marshall county. The
structure, the lower part of which is
of cement, and the upper of timber,
is 38 by 80 feet, with 16 by 3s
foot she'd on the north end, thus
making total length Of nearly 100
feet. The basement, which is an g.
foot story, is composed of cement,
and plastered on both the inside and
outside; it contains stable room for
45 head of horses, besides a crib in
one end, with a capacity of 1000
bushels of corn. The stable, shed,
and cribs all have cement floors and
approaches.
The second story, which is 8 feet
above ground. is approached by
driveway, which is constructed of
cement walls, containing about 1900
loads of dirt, and cinders. Beneath
this approach is buggy shed, with
cement walls, floors, ceiling and ap-
proaches. The second story proper,
has ample room for 200 tons of hay.
besides storage room for machinery.

were 123. or S0.3 per cent, of all wo-

Number of Colleges.
The number of medical colleges in
the United States is decreasing.
Since June 30, 1910, ID colleges have
either suspended or have merged into
others, leaving 120 medical colleges
still existing. The regular colleges
number 101, a decrease Of 10 since
last year. The homeopathic colleges
wear. Of the eclectic colleges the
number Is z. the same as last year
Among the 13 colleges which closed
during the year, were included the
last of the physiomedical colleges,
and the last of the undesirable col
leges. During the past seven years,
GA medical colleges have ceased to ex-
list. either through merger or other
wise. During the same time, how
ever. Is new colleges were organized
leaving a net decrease o. 46. While
the total number of colleges is small
er. the percentage Of higher grade,
stronger medical colleges has been
considerably increased. These figures
are from The Journal of the Amer
lean Medical Association. which re-
Gently published report on medi-
cal education in 1.-THE United States
for, the past year.
Cost Of Medical Education.
Some interesting facts regarding
the cost of a medical education have
been compiled by the The Journal of
the American Medical Association.
which has recently published a report
on medical education in the United
States for the past year. According
to the Journal thirty-fve colleges
charge fees OF 500 or less per year.
20 colleges charge between 800 and
S175. and Is colleges charge above
S175. OF the 80 colleges charging
800 or less, IS, or over 80 per cent
were listed among Class \ (accept-
able) colleges by the Council on Med
zeal Education. s were among class
B colleges, and only of them are
found among the Class C colleges.
Among the Is Glass A colleges hav-
ing these low fees are to be found
The schools of medicine of the state
universities of Colorado, Iowa, Mis-
sissippi. Missouri, North Dakota,
South Dakota and Utah. On the
other hand, II colleges listed by the
Council In Class c. charge fees of
over 800 per year for each student.
This clearly refutes the assertion
made by some inferior colleges that
they are needed for the sake of "the
poor boy who wants to study medi-
cine" Although % colleges listed
in Class A charge fees ranging from
$3.50 to $275 per year for each stu
dent, the actual expense for teaching
that student In these colleges ranges
from $500 to 5000 or even more per
year.

The Butler weekly times. (Butler, Mo.) 1881-1918, 1911-12-21
A CREDITABLE RECORD.

The Times this week publishes a
brief summary of the work accomp-
lished by the Butler Commercial Club
and most creditable record of &C.
complihsment it is. Although the
Club is youthful organization much
has been done in the interests of
Butler and Bates county in the past
year, and much more will be accomp-
lished in the ensuing twelve months.
Butler has always borne reputation
of being live, up-to-date little city,
and this reputation she owes. entirely
to her wide-awake, progressive bust
ness men.
Butler has never been a boom
town. Dependent entirely upon an
agricultural county, her growth has
been steady, slow and healthy. Her
improvements have been made per-
manent and her real estate values
have never been inflated, but have
gone steadily upward in keeping
with the city's growth.
There has been nothing spectacular
about her growth, and in all proba-
bility there will never be, but it may
be plainly seen that Improvements
have been made more rapidly since
the organization of our business men
with that end in view.
The men whose interests lie in
Butler are keenly alert to her posi-
bilities, and with each energetic
shoulder to the wheel in a concerted
effort, great things may be looked
for from Butler in the near future.
