college department of the Harvard
| University, and young man OF abiliL

eral years with high degree of sue

as some of the papers read in the
presence of the writer evinces, show
ing both careful preparation and re-

means to pay the learned doctors

necessary books and materials so
as to keep abreast with his class
Surely there is no royal road to
knowledge either for rich or poor,
surely none for the poor boy that
must depend ON self help. But after
ALL we measure men by results. Mr..

are licensed to practice, and with
the skill that they bring to the af-
flicted people, the rate ought to be
cut down TO normal.
