PROFITABLE DIVERSIONS
A Medical Mans Cure for
Over. Specialization.

RECREATfoNs or \ PHYSICIAN. By a.
stuart NJ chisholm. ". y. $40, pp W.
32S. @. T.. Putnam Sons.
In his paper "On Specialization,
which opens this entertaining volume
with its wealth of curious information
gathered in out-Of-the.w way corners OF
literature and history. Or. Chisholm
makes the impoyorishmcnt Of the IN
dividual by extreme specialization his
text for disquisition on the days
when the sum of human knowledge
was so small that one mind couid
easily gather and store il all. Thence
he proceeds 20 the period when the
universal genius was still possible
the period Of the Renaissance and
finally brings us face to face with the
sufficiently familiar fact that to-day
we must specialize in order 10 achieve
anything at all, and to be of service 10
others. He himself has found a de-
rencc against the narrowing effect OF
this enforced concentration upon one
branch Of knowledge in the cultivation
Of an intellectual curiosity wnich
ranges the ages, and whose fruits, here
put down, will serve capitally to give
others specializing in their own way
Of life a breathing space ana muc"

iStence Of the America OF hundred

was much exercised over the proper

lady she was:
She dressed in the fashion and
loved beautiful clothes. She played
loo and other games for money, as
other ladies of her class did, until
she entered the White House and
felt that the example might be
harmful. She painted her cheeks,
which was not considered TO be a
crime. She took snuff. which was
a common practice among women
as well as men. When she got old
she remained the same age for
several years at a time.

4 Life of Henry Laurens.

The Messrs. Putnam announce for
early publication a Life of Henry
Laurens," by Professor d. d. Wallace.
Henry Laurens's presidency of the Con-
tinental Congress was in some respects
the most notable among the services of
the Revolutionary statesmen who pre-
sided over that famous body. He be
longed to the small group Of men Of
exceptional ability who held the Con-
gress to its arduous duties in the crlti-
cal period OF 1777-'79 and impressed
his personality deeply upon,the politi-
cal history of the Revolution. In add
tion to his part in national politics
Laurens's activities as one Of the rich
est merchants and planters IN the colo
MES and his long service in the public
life Of colonial South Carolina make
the record of his life valuable add
ton to the economic. social and DO
litical history of the generation preced-
ing the Revolution.

10 the Last Meeting.

Harvard University won the contest
over Syracuse for the privilege Of holding
the annual intercollegiate track and field
championship games at the meeting OF tho
intercollegiate Association Of Amateur
Athletes OF America at the Waldorf
Astoria Hotel yesterday afternoon.
At the same time Fordham University
was dropped from the list Of eligible en-
trants for the coming year on account OF
not having the necessary three men, as
required by the bylaws of the association,
present TO represent her at the last meet
ing.
So far az could be learned many OF the
delegates present were said 10 take an
opposite view. Fordham. 1t seems, made
mistake In the dates. F'ordham may ap-
ply for reinstatement at the next annual
meeting Of the association. but not before.

porters.
After several proposed amendments tho
motion Of Gustavus Town Kirby, chair

meet should be changed, was adopted.
Hereafter first place will count points

points: fourth place. points. and fifth
place. I point.
There was long discussion on the oues-
ton as to whether the man winning first
place for his university was not entitled

taking second place.
Many arguments for change OF plan
were forthcoming during the meeting, but
when the question was put to vote the
original motion was carried with little
opposition.
The following officials were elected Tor
the ensuing year:
President. T. y. Crews, Cornell secre-
tary, J. f. Morris, New York University;
treasurer, T.. b. Clark, Columbia Univer-
