COLONEL BENToN's CANDIDACY.
CFrom the Vermont Union-Journal


Colonel Benton, a former Nermonter,
being born in Guildhall, now of Mass
achusetts, announces hat he Is a can-
didate for the republican nomination for
the governorship of that State. In
speaking of his announcement the
Boston Record y Colonel Ben
ton made n vigorous campaign for
the nomination last year, and ran a
swift race. The nomination went to his
rival, who later was defeated at the
polls, and who has since left the Republic
can party, Thus Colonel Benton's claim
upon the voters of the party is clear, and
his formal entry to the active field for
nomination IS logical ana proper. The
campaign work he did a year ago should
stand him well now He has made his
audience, who will greet him this year
as an old friend. He will make a clean
and forceful campaign.

ELIOT PRAISES DOCTORS.
Says Profession Has Rendered Greater
Service Than Any Other,

Speaking at the annual banquet Of the
Massachusetts Medical society at the
Copley-Plaza DIR, Charles w. Eliot decIar-
ed that the medical profession, in pro-
portion to its members, had rendered
greater and better service thar any other
profession, and from that he inferred
that the method of training for the medi-
cal profession is the best kind of educa-
ton. He spoke on "Changes in Medical
Education and told of the Harvard Med
ical school of 1855 and 1856, In which he
was a lecturer on chemistry at the age
of twenty-five.
rs there any profession more a~ltruis-
tic-whlch has contributed more to the
progress of mankind" asked DIR. Eliot

ish the powers that are associated with
long training.
"Who has better control Of his educa-
ton than a surgeon, who must gather at
his @nnger-tips all he has ever learned ?
What reasoning process IS more active or
sounder than that by which a physician
makes a diagnosis? All our training
should be made more to train the senses
better than they are.
1T is ono Of the great gains for edu-
cation that the world is going to owe to
the medical profession and it will have a
wide effect on the education Of children"
