The Tufts college medical depart
mont, of which DR.. Frank T. HasEins,
Brattleboro boy, is secretary, has
taken a logical step in the movement
to furnish the country with more
trained physicians at the earliest pos
sible moment. Tufts has established
as a part of its war work a special
summer course in biology. designed for
those men who are able to meet most
OF. the requirements for admission to
frst.class medical school, but who
are still lacking some of the scientific
education necessary. This course will
be what in these war days has come
to be called ''intensive, and will
continue for twelve weeks during tho
summer. 1t may lie the medium OF
saving some students a whole year Of
time.

sistanee of a French army which is
moving To its support is deeply serious.

desperation OF the German attempt. If
the Germans are putting forth so great
an effort 10 separate the British from
