SPLENDID HEALTH
CONDITIONS At 4. 4 N.
DR.. Otto EhIinser, College Physician,
Challenges Any Community to
Show Better Record.

Il challenge any community in the
country to show better health
record than we have at A. & M. Col
lege." said DR.. Otto Ehlinger, college
physician, in commenting on health
conditions. I'VE have population of
about 1850, counting the students and
residents at College Station, and with
the exception of a student who was
accidentally drowned last April, not
single death has occurred here in
more than a year."
During last session there was only
one serious case in the hospital, and
that was result of meningitis. The
young man recovered and is now a
student in the college, Regular hours
for sleep and study, and the system
OF daily exercise under the military
regulations keep the men in good
physical condition. The change of
water and diet usually puts a few
students off duty at the opening of
school, but the college physician,
aided by trained nurses at the. hos
pital, gets them in line for their
studies in day or two.
Charles e. Friley, secretary of the
college. who has been confined to his
room with typhoid fever, is fast re-
covering and expects to resume his
duties in few days. Mr.. Friley con-
tracted typhoid while on visit to
Hubbard City, and has been at his
home in Bryan during his illness.

was at the battles OF
Pcrryville, Stone River,

Nashville. Twice he was

of the war.

Colonel Glenn on Penn

been to see the President,
to ask that he be made a
Bigadier General. He
could retire with that
rank; but he desires to
continue in the service
until he reaches the re-
firing age under the law.
and he would like to serve
those years with a star
upon his shoulder.

get through. Though | was under regula-
ton size | fixed that all right; but | did
not have the education to pass the hard eX-
animation necessary to be admitted to the
military academy.
Johnny Glenn returned to Washington
from West Point and went to see the PrcSl-
dent TO thank him for having given him a
chance to enter the academy. He told the
President that he had failed to pass.
at WAS a little stiff for you?" inquired
President Grant, himself a West Pointer.
Couldn't quite handle all those hard mathe-
matical problems. ch3 Well. you are not
the first young man who has failed up there
at the Point What are you going to do
nOw?"
Glenn told him that he WAS going to study
and see if he could no, get one OF the civilian
appointments: that he wanted TO be an
officer in the regular army.
"Oh. that 5 IT, is it," said President Grant,
with rs near an approach 20 tilppancy as he
ever came. "Whv. | can DO better than
that and get around those West Point pro-
fcssors too. he added grimly. I'll appoint
YOU Second Lieutenant right now and
send YOU 10 Fort Monroe 10 study. II YOU

And that is the way the Drummer Boy OF
Chickamauga' became an officer IN the regu-
lar army.
