MASONIC NOTES

There are many grand Masonic lodges
now holding their regular annual COM
munications in mid winter rather than
in the summer.
This is the season that the Iowa
Grand Master makes his official visit
and awakens an interest in the work
and arouse the brethren to do their full
measure of duty to the craft and to
man.
NUGGETS FROM THE QUARRY
Grand Custodian, A. G. Clark of
Oskaloesa has visited most of the
lodges in the jurisdiction and is making
a fine impression. He is giving the
boys ritualistic treat as no other
Custodian ever done before.
Grand Master John l.. Thompson is
giving the craft an intellectual Masonic
treat in his lectures. Old masons have
been inspired and young masons bene-
fitted very much by his powerful ad-
dresses.
The first African lodge No. 459 was
organized in ITS by Is men; now we

at these schools gives ample evidence
of the commendable ability of this
young man.
! DR.. Turner has done his work we'll.
This fact is testified to by DR.. Walter
s. Cornell, director Of the medical in
spection Of public schools, who said:
II am glad to add this word of testi-
mony by way Of commendation. DR..
J. p. Turner is efficient in every way
and Is doing excellent work, and the
department is gratified with what he
is doing in successfully caring for the
work under his charge"
DR.. John P. Turner represents the
best of our young men practicing the
profession Of medicine and has been
q success. For the appointment as
medical inspector Of public schools DR..
Turner received the cordial lndorse-
ment of prominent white and Afro
American citizens.
DR.. Turner is native Of Raleigh, N.
c., but took his preliminary training
in the public schools Of New York and
subsequently in tie College Of the City
of New York. He is a graduate in
medicine from Shaw university, class
Of 1906, which same year he came to
Philadelphia and became house physt-
clan in the Frederick Douglass hospi-
tai.
DR.. Walter W. Roach, supervisor
medical inspection Of schools Of the
Fifth district, in commencing the work
of DR.. Turner, said: "Dr. Turner Is a
very efficient inspector. His work Is
satisfactory both to the teachers and
myself. He is tactful and Of pleas
ing appearance.
DR.. James MEG. Hincken, supervisor
medical inspection Of schools Of the
Second district, speaks commendatory
of the work Of DR.. Turner, as fol-
lows: 1T is with pleasure that l
speak Of the high grade of work DR..

He is certainly making good, and feel
that his work and its results are due
to his kindly and tactful attitude to-
WuIu luc jupAiS VI lnC p0bA4S S>AOSAs
with whom he comes in contact"
The editor Of the Philadelphia Cou'
rant says he is always gratiaed to bear
witness to the work that is being &C.
complished by our young men who en-
ter the public service, and in this in
stance he feels proud that our optimism
regarding Dr.. Turner, that he would
make good, has been verified. DR.. Tur-
ner has the exceptional distinction Of
inspecting in two districts, the Second
and Fifth, respectively, Of which Drs.
Hincken and Roach are supervisors,
the only instance of this kind among
the sixty inspectors Of the city.
Within the two districts he has the
