WOMEN IN MEDICINE
From the Journal of the American Med
ical Association.

From the Journal of the American Med
ical Association.
During the past year there were $40
women studying medicine. or 80 less than
last year, decrease of 40 below 1911 and
a decrease of 367 below 1910. The percen-
tage of women students to the total num-
Der of medical students was 3.s, as COM
upared with 3.2 last year. There were 15I
women graduates this year, or 3S per
cent of all graduates. There has been a
very market decrease, in the number of
women in medicine since 1910, when there
were 907 women students and 157 grad
yates, and in 1909, when there were a21
women students and 1852 graduates. or
all the women matricuants, 13S (21.6 per
cent? were in attendance at the two med
ical colleges for women, as compared
with 143 ell per centl-in 1912, 1874 097 per
cent? in 1911 and 155 17.1 per cent? in 1910
The remaining 5o2 (7s.4 per cent? were ma
circulated in the !, SO coeducationa COZ
leges. From the two womens colleges
there were SO, or 2l.4 per cent. of all
women graduates while 121, or 1875 per
cent. secured their degrees from coedu-
cational colleges.

suppose the average Londoner would in
sist that London is very gay; but could
not see it. Certainly 1t was not gay an
similar sections in New York are gay
1t is not in ;he Londoner himself to be
so. He is solid, hard, phlegmatic, a little
dreary, like a certain type of rain bird or
northern loon, content to make the best
of a rather dreary situation. On the other
hand / should not say that the city is de-
pressing-far from it-though there are

You have to represent a certain state of
mind to be Londoner, or a Britishar
even,. true one, and. ON the whole, I
think it is a more pleasant attitude than
one finds in America, though not so bril-
liant. Creature comforts run. high with
this type Of mind, and, after that, cer-
tain happy acceptance OF the common
place. Nothing less than that could pos
sbly explain the mile on mile of drao
houses of streets all alike. of doorways
all alike, of chimneys all alike. That is
what you feel all over England-a drab
acceptance of the commonplace: and
yet, when all is said and done, it works
out into something so charming in its
commonplaeeness that 1t is almost ire
sistible.

the contract abroad, the United States
will save more than 100000, and the
Sheffield bid includes the payment of
duty.
The Midvale, Bethlehem and Car
negie concerns are competitors of
English and German companies in the
markets of all the world Why is it
that the figures of American steel
makers are so out of proportion to
those of the Cyclops works in the bids
for equipment of an American battle
ship? Do the American bids show col
lusion?
The United States has always been
compelled to pay outrageously high
prices for its armor plate The build
ing of a government plant seems the
solution of this problem. 1t may also
be necessary for the United States to
establish works for the manufacture
of all its war material.

Roosevelt, acting Secretary of the

ever much it is to be regretted.
There are three American concerns
considered equipped to do the work.
These are the Bethlehem Steel COM

the Carnegie Steel company. Only the

Needed Local Reforms

In no branch of the judicial system
throughout the country has greater
progress been made than that relat-
ing to the police courts and the
methods of dealing with the petty Of
| tenders.
The establishment of juvenile
courts, the probation system, the
court of domestic relations, the golden
rule, detention homes and women
wardens. and Jail matrons have done
much TO remedy past evils and aided
materially in the reduction of crime.
While local conditions are much bet
ter than they were a short time ago
still there is much to be desired. The
large majority Of people who appear
before the police judge are not Grim
inals in any sense of the word; they
are merely petty offenders charged
with the violation of some rule or
ordinance of the city. A great many
cases are neighbors' quarrels or fami-
" rows in which respectable women
are involved. Under the present sys-
tenn these women, and sometimes ac-
companied by children, are compelled
to sit and listen to the trial of un-
savory cases, with the recital some
times of details that are of the most
shocking character.
In all progressive cities court of
domestic relations has been estab-
lished for the hearing of family trou-
bles and like cases; also detention
room apart from the city jail for the
temporary care or confinement of
young girls caught in the meshes of
| the law.
Birmingham needs these two police
reforms and needs them badly. The
court of domestic relationssin some
cities has a separate judge, in other:
it is held after the regular session has
adjourned. In each instance Vt ha:
worked admirably and would no doubt
do so here AS to the confinement o1
young girls in the present city Jail il
is sad reproach to our boasted civil
zation.
The welfare department under the
able and earnest supervision of Mrs
Searight has done much to amelioratt
the evil, yet much remains to be done
before Birmingham arrives at the
point reached by other progressive
cities in the matter of police court
reform.

Gallinger's Star Play

DR.. Gallinger, United States sena-
tor from New Hampshire, is the most
immovable of standpatters. He has no
sympathy for change, no patience
with progress. He believes thoroughly
that the country should be governed
in the interests of the wealthier class,
and any movement on the part of the
masses to seize a modicum of power
is cried down most bitterly by him.
Such revolutionary schemes as the
initiative, referendum and the recall
are regarded by DR.. Gallinger as too
frightful to contemplate. He believes
that they are subversive of represen-
tative government, entering wedges
for the sundering of this western ex-
pertinent in republicanism. His de-
nunciation knows no bounds; his rep
rehension is without restriction.
Yet DIR. Gallinger arises in the SEN
ate and calmly moves that the oper-
alton of the Underwood Simmons bill
be postponed for year while the peo-
pie of the country are given an op-
portunity to vote on its acceptance
or rejection! If the referendum can
be made to serve the monopolistic
vested interests by estopping legisla-
ton they have fought against SO long,
DR.. Gallinger is for it. Otherwise not.

The Col0red MethOdists

Few problems in the south are of
such far-reaching concern as that re-
lating to the race question. The ne
groes are here; always will be here.
They are needed and we want them
t oremain with US, therefore, right
minded educators, regardless of
race or condition, gladly extend tc
the "brother in black" helping hand.
Every uplifting influence among
the negroes should meet with hearty
encouragement. The jubilee convoca-
tion of the Colored Methodist Episco-
pal church being held here this week
is of exceptional interest. The address
Of Bishop ]. H. Mccoy of Birming-
ham, who brought greetings from the
Methodist Episcopal church, south, to
the ministers and laymen of the COL
ored organization, was not only a
great feature of the occasion but
