the standard required was now as
high as it should be for all OF the
schools of the entire country.
An irreducable minimum has been

He said that the ranks of the med
ical schools had been so thinned that
third of the schools were now hors
du combat, and it was expedient to
mark time for q while ''and give those
institutions which have approached
the firing line at double-quick speed
q chance to catch their breath
But the problem Of secondary edu-.
cation for the medical man he thought
was handicapped BY too high Gull
tural standard. Although course In
biology, chemistry and physics, was
agreed upon as prerequisite to the
study Of medicine, the subjects were
not taught satisfactory in the high
schools and colleges generally.
Therefore, for the present at least,
it must be taught largely by the med
ical schools, or there must be. as has
been suggested by distinguished edu-
Gators, Encouragement of the cur
ricula of high schools, SO that they
will embrace a course in the sciences
which will be acceptable to medical
schools This, we believe, is the very
best solution OF the problem

bility. 1t must reserve to itself the
right to appoint competent men to
fill positions of authority. Otherwise
1t cannot do it's duty to the public.
Company Observed Agreement
The company has observed care
fully all the rules and methods set
out in the agreement with the clerks
dated January IL, 1913. Nortwith-
standing this, the officers expressed
their willingness to submit TO arbi-
tration the question whether the COM
pany's position in these two cases is
justified.
The company has shown every de-
sire to bring about an adjustment up
to the point of abandoning duty
that 1t owes to the public and to all
employees, namely. the duty to make
and enforce reasonable rules of dis
cipline and the duty of selecting re-
tanning and promoting men to do the
work of the company. The work of
any large organization cannot be car
ried on successfully If this authority
Is divided. The right to decide must
be given to those responsible for re-
suits.
FuDuc SnOutu huOW raCJS.
THE company has suggested that
all the facts be laid before any i'm
perial body for full consideration. It
does this because 1t realizes that ii
is a public service corporation and
that the public should know all the
facts. II. in the face of this. the
clerks are ordered by their leaders
to strike. and obey that order, the
company will have to fill the places Of
those who leave the service and con-
tinue to do the business of the pub
lie as well as 1t can under the
changed conditions.
THE New Haven management has
always discussed with committees of
its employees any questions Of wages
or working conditions and it has
never declined to meet and discuss
with grand lodge officers proper SUBJ
jects for discussion, and In these two
particular cases, 1t is willing to arbi-
trate the questions to be discussed.
