UNIVERSITY GUARDS
STUDENTS HEALTH
Seven Doctors and Four Nurses
Attend to Needs.
ARE GIVEN EXAMINATIONS
Students Entering institution Obliged
to Undergo Test at CIinic--Per-
sonaI Hygiene Is Not Taught
in cIasses-Advice Given.

Madison.-Seven doctors and four
nurses are required to look after the
health of the 1859 students attending
the University of Wisconsin, and, tudg-
ing from the statistics compiled for
the past five years, they will be
obliged to hold 27,500 Office consulta-
tions and make over 1900 house and
hospital visits during the year 1867
in order to keep a healthy student
body.
Since 1910 the department OF elm
zeal medicine at the university has
conducted over $4,000 office cOnsulta-
tions, has made $4,000 house and hos
pital visits and has treated $4,000 stu
dents affected with minor diseases.
The number of consultations has al
most doubled during that time, and
the number of house and hospital Wis
Its has more than tripled.
Prevention of disease and especially
of epidemics is particularly aimed at
by the clinic. Upon entering the uni
versity students are required to under
go a thorough physical examination at
the clinic. The aim of the depart
ment in doing this is to determine the
physical fitness of each student to at
tend the university and bear the
strain of college work, and also to
correct wrong conditions in the edu-
catiOnal program or in the personal
life of the student. Over 10000 such
examinations have been conducted
since 1910.
Students are instructed to call at
the medical advisors office whenever
professional services are desired. and
frequently they consult the clinic for
minor ailments which they would not
think important enough to warrant
engaging an outside doctor, but might
develop into serious trouble II not
treated in time When major or spe-
cial surgery is necessary students are
referred to specialists. The illnesses
commonest in ordinary life are the
ones for which students are most fire.
quently treated. Infections of the
nose and throat give trouble to the
largest number of students.

classes as in some other universities,
but the needs of individual students
are met in personal conferences. At
least 70 per cent of the student body
receive personal advice in this way
during the course Of year, and prac-
tically every student consults a doctor
at some time during his college
career In this way serious illness
among students has been reduced
greatly below the expectant rate, and
every year shows Improvement. The
prompt treatment of colds and grippe
by the clinic has resulted in decreas-
ing the time lost by the student in ill
nesses resulting from them from eight
or ten days in 1910 to about two and
One-half days in 1915.
Besides serving the students of the
university in this way, the doctors of
the clinic are members of the teach
ing staff Medical students are given
instruction and practical experiences
at the clinic in physical and clinical
diagnosis, surgery and bandaging.

To Cut Insurance Rates.

Insurance Commissioner Cleary
Governor Philip in an address at
Plymouth that fire insurance rates on
dwellings in Wisconsin are to be re-
duced. Commissioner Cleary said
that some of the schedules had not
been completed and for this reason he
was not in position to make a def
mite statement on the exact reductions
to go into effect on the different classes
of dwellings. 1t was also declared by
Mr.. Cleary that an investigation of
mercantile stocks and other CONNER
Cial hazards was being made and that
a reduction would very probably re-
suit.
In the opinion Of many people famil-
lar with the fire insurance situation in
Wisconsin, the acquiescence of the
companies to submit to this arrange
ment, brought to head by Mr.. Cleary,
is the result of the unremitting cam
paign carried on by Herman L. Ekern,
while insurance commissioner, and
Senator La Toilette in his fight on the
insurance combine in Wisconsin. The
unwholesome facts of the fire situation
In this state, by which it has been
proved that Wisconsin has had to pay
more for fire protection than any other
state in the Union, have brought such
a storm of protest from the people and
1t is declared that the companies
realized that something had to be
done.

Education in Woods.

Education in Woods.
"Arbor day is being perverted in
too many states into a mere day
for the incubation of the esthet-
ic side of tree and bird life. Arbor
day has a bigger purpose, a bigger
scope 1t should be observed from the
economic side as well as the esthetic
and artistic
This was the declaration of State
Superintendent of Instruction c. P.
Cary of the Wisconsin school system,
when he was sitting at his desk in the
state capitol, planning for the observ-
ance of the day in the Wisconsin
schools.
'Arbor day should teach conserva-
ton OF the forests, both for the fu-
ture timber supply of the nation" he
added, "as the second industry in
importance in America as well as for
the protection of the head waters Of
our rivers. Arbor day should do
more, it should teach the use Of lum-
Der in way that the school children
can understand, so they will realize
the Importance of trees.
''As look over our files / find that
in the 1911 Arbor day manual is an ar
ticle on how Wisconsin is trying to
save the forest waste by utilizing the
by-products which formerly were
burned as worthless, and also an ar
ticle on the lesson of the forest fires
of 1910 by the state forester, who fol-
lowed this the next year with an ar
ticle on how the public can prevent
the spread of forest fires, and thus do
it's share toward the conservation of
our national resources. The same
year also contains an article on the
economical use OF wood.
1.-THE next year in an article, again
written by an expert, on the manner
in which timber is converted into pa
per. And again in 1915 is a descrip-
ton of the town forests of Europe,
with an extensive article by a trained
forester on the American national for
ests.
"And so Wisconsin is using Arbor
day to teach the children the real
story of the tree as a national re-
source, not mere matter of producer
of pleasant shade. If other states fol-
lowed the same line of thought, Arbc-
day would become one Of the great
est, most important holidays of the
year."
