Opposed by Health Officer.

James l.. Parsons. president of the as
ISOLATION, said he had equested Health
Officer Woodward to address the asse-
citation upon the question of removing the
buildings from reservation II. DIR. Wood
ward declined, he stated, and said he did
not favor the removal of all the buildings
from the reservation
Complaint was made that alleys in the
eastern section were in a filthy condi-
ton and that they were not being swept
as frequently as the schedule calls for
their cleaning
The complaint was referred to an ap-
propriate committee with instructions to
make an effort to remedy the conditions
complained of.
Capt. Potter presented a report of the
committee on streets, in which it was
stated that the committee realizes the
fact that in the past the bulk of the APP
preparations for improvements for any
purpose in Washington has been applied
in the northwest section of the city while
q very small amount has been given to
East Washington. Because of the fact
that the amount allotted to East Wash
ington. especially Southeast Washington.
for the current year has been more lib
eral than in the past. your committee
deems ii proper to be conservative i'm its
recommendations, selecting only such
streets and avenues as are in very bad
condition

Improvement of Streets.

The report mentioned certain streets to
be recommended to the Commissioners
for Improvement and paid special attcn-
ton to the approach to the bridge over
the Anacostia river on the line of Ienn-
sylvania avenue. In conclusion, the re-
port stated:
The plan of improving streets from
the interior of the city outward in nu-
merical order. expressed by Maj Nor
row during his incumbency as Engineer
Commissioner. does not appear to be al
together practical. for the reason that
some sections of the city in the north

lecturing at the college Of physicians on
1.-The Medicines Of the Babylonians and
Assyrians'' gave details Of the begin
ming Of medical science. One Of the
tablets which was pres~lted to the
college of physicians by DR.. 8. Weir
Mitchell and DR.. Richard H. Hart dates
back to the seventh century before
Christ and is said to be the only one
so far discovered that contains the
record of an early Babylonian physi-
clan.
The tablets contains prescriptions
which are a strange mixture OF the
first steps in real medical science with
the lamentations and omens Of the
period Where a man was seized with
a pain in the head certain drugs were
recommended and then the physician
was instructed to strike the patient
seven times on the cheek. roll him on
the ground and at the same time "tell
the stomach to be good"
The lecture was illustrated by lantern
slides showing the ancient medical rec
ords.

date adoption of the honor system.
But one organization objects to the
honor sentiment agitation which il

Ninety-five per cent were willing to
support the honor sentiment move
ment. The question asking how many

necessary. or that a better method
could be devised.
In reply to the query as to what was
the most prevalent form Of cheating
that IL now "a practice, practically all
answers placed cheating in Quizzes
