U. OF P. DENTAL SCHOOL
BITTERLY ATTACKED ON
FAILURE OF GRADUATES
DR.. J. Arthur Standen, in Ad-
dress to Alumni, Declares Slip
shod Methods and Cheap
Policy Are to Blame
WILL DISCUSS MERGER

Sarcastic criticism Of the administration
Of the University Of Pennsylvania Dental
School was voiced today by DR.. j. arthur
Standen, president of the Dental Alumni
Society Of the University.
Doctor Standen was addressing the 36th
annual meeting of the dental alumni In the
Thomas W. Evans Dental Institute 4Oth
and Spruce streets. He prefaced his criti-
cism by expressing regret that In recent
State Board tests the average failures OF
all schools in 43 States during the last
five years totaled 16 per cent. The univer-
sity of Pennsylvania showed the highest
average OF failure, IS per cent, the worst
in its existence In 1915. Doctor Standen
said, this percentage of failures had In
creased to % per cent
Can this" he dueried. 'be the result of
a policy of administration whereby man
is accepted as demonstrator In this de-
partment II during the first year he VIII
serve without pay; with the same salary
the second year unless he receives an In
spiraton to kick strenuously he gets SlOO,
or II he kicks superstrenuously he gets 5000
or gets fired?
"Or is this result Of policy Of ad-
ministraton which permits man to re-
main a demonstration In this department
for 15 years at the same salary during
that period, while members of the faculty
receive an increase of 20 per cent. when
the Evans consolidated plan is effected?
"or is this result Of policy of ad-
mlnistration whereby a chair carrying an
assistant professorship. remains vacant dur
ing the entire scholastic term with the
burden of technical and practical work
resting upon the demonstrator?"
A report regarding their survey of condi-
tions In the Dental School will be submitted
during the session by DR.. G, W. Rausen-
berger DR.. Luther NJ. Weaver, and Dr.

Electric Lights.
six years

1t is easy within the recollec-
ton of the older citizens of Nc
Connellsburg, that the only light
to be depended upon by those who
wished to meander around the
town after the shades of evening
had fallen was the safe and sane
tin lantern with tallow candle.
The rush in progress of the nine
teenth century swept into the
garret Of oblivion the aforesaid
lanterns, and substituted the kero-
sene lamps with uncertain can
dle-power, which on a cloudynig
lin the light of the moon" only
intensified the darkness. Now
the public clamors for something
more modern-a great white
way, like other towns. Hence,
when R. M. Cline asked the Bor-
ough for an ordinance to permit
him to install and operate an
electric light plant, the Council
very readily made the grant. The
time limit causing the forfeit of
this franchise, another was grant
ed to E. j. Post, Agent. This
met a similar fate. The third
and last application was made by
Howard Weld, and the Council
passed the ordinance last Friday
evening, which was promptly ve-
toed by Burgess Seylar. At a
subsequent meeting of the Coun-
Gil, the ordinance was passed
over the head of the Burgess.
1t means that Mr.. Weld, or his
Company, shall begin work on the
plant within three months, and
have it in operation in nine
months; otherwise, at the option
of the Council, the franchise will
become null and void.
