The Medical School Merger.

IN this State. the Medical College Of
Virginia and the University College OF
Medicine. seems TO be an accomplish ed
fact. The union of the two institutions
Is an eminently wise movement 1t Ii
better to have one great school of medi-
cine, well equipped and provided wit n

than to have two schools, struggling
for existence.
This Is the day of cooperation and
consolidation. Never before was the
truth so generally accepted that IN
union there IS strength. The new
school will al once take rank among
the very best medical schools in the
country. r. will be located in Rich
mond. where the students will have
the best clinical advantages. A medical
school TO do It's best work must always
be located in a great city.

This restless political spirit in the peo-

NORFOLK'S TREE-PLANTING.

Every now and then that pleasant
little town of Norfolk does something
that Richmond, great and splendid me-
tropolis that il is, might very well irni-
tate. Recently Norfolk has paradox
callv put Richmond in the shade by
planting some i. 200 trees. This is the
achievement OF the Beautifying Com
mission in the past twelve months. Next
spring and summer 1900 more will be
planted. The secretary declares that IN
fifteen years Norfolk will have $1,000
trees growing on every street in the city
except in the business section. The year
ly planting is being extended accord
ing to a definite plan that includes uni
formity in planting and in the variety
of trees set out The School Board is
cooperating by having shade trees
planted around nine school buildings.
Richmond might begin its friendly
imitation by having Beautifying Com
mission. We need such a body to care
for the esthetic side of the community
life. But until we get that the city
nurseryman and the Street Department
can see that new streets are properly
provided with trees for future shade, and
that old trees are replaced at once Right
now the older boulevards of Richmond
are richly and beautifully shaded But
with the movement OF residence dis
tricts TO the west, the encroaching of
business on private streets. and the kill
ing effects Of the increasing smoke IN
our air. the time will not be far off
when we must face the prospect Of a
treeless city. Now is the proper moment
to begin systematic tree-planting
IL cannot be done in squirt ten years
from now, when we wake to the fact
that the trees are gone. This spring
should see the inauguration of an an
nual extension of arbOreal beauty for the
benefit OF the next generation.
