INSIDE PERSON
BASIS Of SUIT
COURT HOLDS SURGEON is NOT
LIABLE FOR DAMAGES-pLAlN.
TIFF MUST PROVE PROPER
CARE WAS NOT SHOWN.

Oklahoma City, Okla, June 3.-lf a
surgeon leaves sponges in the interior
of a patient and the patient dies as a
result of the presence of the sponges
there, representatives of decedent
must prove that the surgeon was neg
ligent in order to recover damages.
This is the theory of the supreme
court commission in an opinion by
Judge Brett in a case appealed from
Okmugee county.
The average layman who is not ia
miliar with the duties of surgeons and
nurses will learn from the statement
of facts IN this case that two gauze
sponges were left to clutter up the
interior OF person who had just been
operated upon and the spOnges caused
so much trouble that the patient was
taken To Il hospital In large city,
where an operation disclosed their
presence But the patient died. The
surgeon utltUutn al dtliOI lVt udlh
ages on the ground that he admonish
ed the nurse TO keep count of the
spOnges and see to il that they were
all removed before the incision was
closed. The nurse assured the sur
geOn that his instructions had been
followed The surgeon being very
busy cutting and stitching and Iigating
and otherwise surgeOning of ne
cessity compelled to rely upon the
nurse.
The court said: An action against
a surgeon for negigently leaving
gauze sponges In the body of the pa
tient upon whom he had operated,
which resulted in her death the de-
fendant is entitled TO an instruction
on this theory of the defense, and it
is not error for the court to instruct
the jury that though they believe de
fendant did leave the spOnges in the
body of the patient, and her death
was the natural and proximate result
thereof, yet if they also believe that

A more highly entertaining bill has
never been presented than that given
by Baird and Wilson'S Comedians. The
play given was entitled THE Call of
the Woods" and there was plenty of
good acting and entertainment
throughout. The vaudeville between
acts was particularly amusing, and
there were several original stunts Civ
en-, all of which highly delighted the
audience. There was large audience
present, and the bill withal was one
that could only please. There was no
one present who did not feel that he
had received full worth for his money
The company is one that is sure to
please everyone and while the play
last night was not comedy, it had
enough OF life and go in it to make a
very interesting and entertaining pro
gram. Tonight the company will pre-
sent an entirely new bill. See ad in

in the performance of the operation
he exercised ordinary care in keeping
that they were all removed before the
incision was closed, he could not be
held liable for negligence. The gist
of such action is not based upon the
result of the operation, but upon neg
ligence in its performance, and the
lights of the parties must be tested
by whether or not the defendant ex-
ercised that degree of care in per
forming the operation that is imposed
upon him by law"

what is a practical education? ?"
was the question asked by President
Dean at the beginning of his address
Then he admitted that, while he had
spent three years in the study of Latin
and Greek, he doubted if he could now
construe phrases of Homer and Vir-
gil as he was once able to do. The
time he gave to the classics, he said,
was one Of the best investments in
education he ever made. President
Deans personal confessions went to
illustrate the difference between cram
ming ones head with facts and learn
ing to think. mo man long retains
the facts which he does not USE" said
NE speaker
Gould 4 give all the details of a
asked mo, but know where to put
my hands on the methods by which
to make one, and how to use them.
That education. he continued, was
truly practical which put a man into
sympathetic touch with the growth
and play of the thoughts that have
made the world what it is; which
gave him a searching understanding
of what he and his fellows about him
are doing: which deepened and broad
ened his capacity for enjoyment, for
self-deyelopment, and for usefulness
to others.
These two sides of any truly practi-
cal education We're to be found cpl
on fhe seal of the college:
culture and usefulness.
