his address before the Vermont alumni

made Of the educational conditions in
Vermont by the Carnegie Foundation
and he was fully justified in this for the
report cmhodies reference to defects
which have long been recognized by our
own people as whole as we'll as by
good authorities in various directions.
As regards the Vermont College OF
Medicine, however, the high standing Of
graduates in various parts of the coun-
institution was doing efficient service
and that sentiment is now confirmed in
the most gratifying way by the highest
organized authority on medical education
in the country, of which DR.. Arthur
Bevan, the famous Chicago surgeon, is
chairman.
The Vermont College OF Medicine has
enjoyed rating in class A. being one
of the twenty-five similar institutions in
the entire United states to have this dis
tinction The national council of medi-
cal education makes the significant and
gratifying announcement not only that
this rating IS to be maintained but also
medical cdu,aton in Vermont continue
and that the council lend both the state
and the medical college its support
In the paper which Dean Tinkham
prepared for presentation at the Boston
alumni meeting but which in his absence
in Chicago was read by DR.. Lyman

increased to nine months in the year

been made to conform to the recommen-

AGE oE EFFICIENCY PAST so?

Speaking of the age of efficiency, a Toledo man locates it beyond the half century mark He calls our attention to the fact that Columbus was 56 when he discovered America, that Darwin. Kant. Spencer, Wagner, Haydn and others did their greatest and best work when far past the 90 mark, and that some have persisted in great ac- complishment until 70 or more years of age
 This argument won't help the man who is aged and broken and tottering at 50, will it? But it will hearten the man of 40 or more who has been care ful of his resources, to think that to him achievement is still a possibility and it may find him the opportunity to achieve by convincing some master of opportunity that years do not al- ways spell senility or loss of virility.
 The young man may reflect that he has the opportunity to run long race and he may catch sight of the fact that the man of 50 is not necessarily back number merely because Of hl' half century.-Detroit Free Press.
