ACHIEVEMENTS IN 1911.

First among the great achievements
OF the year 1911 President Schurman
OF Cornell University places the
triumph Of democracy in Great Brit
ain and China. and he ranks as second
the impetus given by President TAFT
10 the movement for international
peace. These indeed are things Of
world wide significance. and there Is
every reason 10 believe that they will
be set down 10 the credit Of the de-
parted year by historians looking back
ward I'm years 20 come.
There are triumphs Of science as
well as politics for which the year

ident Taft IL right in selecting as the
most important OF the scientific
triumphs the demonstration OF the
complete success Of the prophylactic
against typhoid fever. attested by the
fact that In the mobilization OF fif-
teen thousand troops In Texas for
three months there was only one case
OF typhoid. An important step was
taken when anti-typhoid incubation
was ordered for the army Of the
United States. Heretofore typhoid has
been a deadly attendant on the move

causing more deaths in warfare than

young men enlisted for the war with

OF the anti-typhoid prophylactic may
mark an era in preventive medicine as
