Reducing an Oversupply

Prior to the Civil War there had
been a rapid increase in the number Of
medical colleges, there being at the
time about sixty in this country. Fol-
lowing the war, however, the number
Increased by leaps and bounds, until
In 1906, not counting the out-and-out
diploma mills a maximum number OF
1852 colleges was reached, It was then
discovered that this country alone had
more medical colleges than all other
countries of the world combined! The
conditions were preposterous. AL
though an unusual but real demand
for doctors, caused by the rapid de-
yelopment and growth OF the country,
was what originally led to the forma-
ton of proprietary medical colleges,
nevertheless, not only was the de-
mand soon supplied, but also there
came to be so vast an overeupply as
to be actually ridiculous. And such
collegesl Although there were some
fairly good ones, a very large per
cent. were Joint stock corporations.
conducted solely for profit. They
were devoid of equipment, few held
seriously to any entrance standard,
and whoever could pay the tuition
fees--the only requirement--was adj
mitted. In order to swell the number
OF students, and incidentally the in
come from fees, glowing advertise
ments were printed and salaried So
licitors were sent to Offices. workshops
and farms. Large GLASSES were turned
out each year after only two short
sessionsi Is II a wonder that there
has been a marked decrease following
the quiet but careful investigation OF
the Council on Medical Education
The Journal of the American Medical
Association says that there 10 no
question that the great reduction In
the number of medical colleges and
the remarkable Improvement In the
quality Of those remaining will result
| in greatly improved medical profes-
sion and--more important--wilii insure
for the people better qualified ply
sicians.

THE PHYSICAL SIDE OF SCHOOLING.

Not the least among the faults of rural education
in this State the lack of medical inspection in the
schools When something Of the kind Is attempted
here and there It shows how urgent is the need. In
one township of Gloucester County than 20 per
cent of the SIT pupils examined had some physical
defect That township is progressive enough not to
stop with finding out the evil 1t proposes to correct
it. and the first school ever employed In South
Jersey rural section s visiting parents and suggesting
the proper treatment for their children How many
other rural boards Of education in New Jersey will
follow so good an example!

biggest Guns Win.

From the Buffalo Express.
The destruction Of the German
cruiser Emden, which has done so
snust damage to British shipping IN
che Indian Ocean, is particularly
noteworthy as the first sea fight to
The credit Of the new Australian navy.
Ships of the Australian navy early
In the war took one OF two ports
m some Of the German colonial pos
sessions In the Pacific, but there was
not sufficient resistance in these oper-
atoms to rank them as sea fights.
The destruction OF the Emden
was q ship to-ship action and Is wen
worthy to take its place as the first
exploit in the history Of the Austria
Ian navy. II was as fair match as
was the squadron action off the
Chilean coast, when two British
cvrti Users went down. 1t offsets, IN
part. at least, the humiliation OF the
loss Of the Good Hope and Monmouth.
It is true that the sydney is larger
and newer ship than was the Emden,
Just as the Scharnhorst and the Gnei-
senau are newer than were the Good
Hone and the Monmouth. But the
sydney and the Emden were both
protected cruisers of the type de-
signed to combat each other. The
lesson OF the battle Is the same as
that of the action on the Chilean
coast, that victory In sea fight goes
to the heaviest guns. In the battle
OF Chile the British ships. except
th- sine-inch guns on the Good Hope,
has only six-inch guns TO oppose the
a. ses., eight-inch guns on the two
~-ernsan cruisers. Consequently the
British ships were shattered before
they could plant more than ono OF
two effective shots In reply.
In the action of Cocos Island tbs
Emden had twelve four-inch guns to
oppose the eight six-inch guns Of tbs
sydney. Hence the Emden suffered
the fate Of the Good Hope and thu
Monmouth. Theoretically the Finder
should have closed with her an
1agonist until she could have mad
her greater number Of guns coun
against The greater range and weigh
Of the Syaney's guns. Doubtless sh.

Supremacy In the Making


From the Philadelphia Evening Ledger.
Nothing but a chronic crouch can
keep an American citizen from join
ing In the jubilation justified by the
government crop report. A country
blessed with such bountiful yield OF
corn and wheat and potatoes, and
other products Of a kindly soil, has
reason for Thanksgiving, for the time
has not gone by. even in an age OF
widespread Industrial development,
when agriculture has lost It's inn
portant function Of protecting the ma
tional welfare.
Agriculture not only furnishes food
supplies; in many cases manufactur-
ing itself depends upon II for raw ma
terial. The principal grain crops this
year were greater in value than the
predictions indicated, and more valua-
BILE than ever before grown in the
United States; In quantity many Of
them were record breakers, and III
yield per acre some exceeded all previ-
GUS marks.

OUTCOME OF THE COAL COMBINE PROSECUTION

The governments antitrust suit against the an
thraeite coal combine has ended, far the hear
ings are concerned and decision has been reserved
According to the view of the testimony which the lay
man takes, the testimony has been overwhelmingly
against the combine. In fact it only confrmatory
of what the public already knew by experience.
But the decision Of the Federal Judge at Philadel
phia viii not be final The usual appeal Will be taken
to the United States Supreme Court and II may not
even be argued within year. Meanwhile in antiei-
patton of adverse decision, the attorneys of the
coal barons will doubtless have prepared some In
geniousy-oonstructed form of combination to be
called dissolution by which business be
tinued to be done in substantially the same way
The point In regard to the Standard Oil monopoly
when it prosecuted that the company held
monopoly and plundered the people with monopoly
prices. The only legal point seemed to be that the
company had unlawful plan Of organization The
monopoly and the plunderng lost sight of, or,
rather sanctioned. In the decree which compelled
change of the form of organization That satisfied the
court and the consumers behed the unique triumph of
judicial law when the monopoly put up the price of oil
that to be what the prosecution OF the coal
combine Will amount to--higher prices for coal

Hope and the Monmouth tried the
same maneuver in the fight off the
Chilean coast. But IN practice. with
efficient men to handle them, the
heavier guns win. For this reason It
is interesting to note that the latest
super in both the
British and German navies carry In
their main batteries eight fifteen
inch guns each. The older British
dreadnoughts have twelve and 49,
inch guns, while the German dread
noughts of the same class have
eleven and twelve-inch guns.
In addition to the destruction of the
Emden, the British announce that the
German cruiser Koenigsburg Is
bloekaded in a river Of German East
Africa. This clears the Indian ocean
of German cruisers, 50 far as the
British know.

Went TO Pluck a FLOUR

went to pluck how'r,
To send it to my love,
But no bloom could find
Perfect enough and fair
To set among her hair,
Or where the laces bind
Her bosom, or above
Her heart to lie an hour.
And so my choice prefers
An unpretentious bloom,
simple meadow weed,
humble, bIue-eyed thing;
Like the weak praise sing,
1t is to intercede
For one whose signs presume
To beauties such as hers.
And when my Offering
She sees, and reads my rhine
She'll gently put II by,
She'll ponder for while:
Then smile little smile,
And sigh little sigh,
And wonder that old Time
Has such leaden wing
