TRIBUTE IS PAID
TO DEAD TEACHERS

What would a country, such as
ours, be without the continual and per
sistent work of it's teachers ," asked
assistant principal John F. Thompson,
of Richmond high school. Saturday
afternoon at the memorial services in
honor of teachers Of the city and coun-
try, who have died during the year,
J. H. Bentley, City Superintendent
of school. said:
The greatest teachers are those
who live in the memories Of their
pupils. Those teachers are great who
have former pupils out in the world
saying Such and such a teacher did
this or that for me- Such teachers
are great because they have accepted
the full onsibility Of their posi-
tons
They have a chance as none others
have to put their mark on human
souls, and if we would all conceive our
work on this plane, we would be
greater teachers than We often are,
said the superintendent.
Every time meet a school teacher
want to raise my hat. because she
is the vanguard Of the Republic said
County Superintendent c. O. Williams
in a shrot talk on Our Teachers
Two Die for Country.
Tributes were paid each who has
died during the year. Two. Emerson
Cloyd Of Fountain City and Harry
Harvey, died in the service Of their
country. A letter regarding Miss Julia
Test was sent by Miss Elizabeth
Close, and read by Mrs. Harry Still
enger Miss Close was unable to be
present on account Of illness.
1T may be truly said of Julia E
Test. whose life work was finished on
April 3, 1919, that she adopted the
motto Of the worlds greatest educa
tor who said: I love God, and little
children Most beautifully she ex
emplified this by her life and by her
work
Miss Test was a woman of rare
gifts: One Of the born teachers. Bril-
liant in mind, loving in service, keen
in research for all that was best fol
the little minds and hearts Of those
who were under her care, these were
her characteristics.
Many OF her co-workers have been
inspired to greater effort through her
unflagging interest and her untirine
industry.
What more need me say? We
think as she entered the great beyond
she must have heard the words of the
Great Teacher saying to her: Vel
done ~

BY THOMAS FAYE.

Thirty years ago, Richmond, with
population of about fifteen thou
sand people, had 35 registered doctors,
while today. with an estimated popu-
lation of almost thirty thousand, the
ills of its citizens are attended by
the same number of doctors. says one
of the oldest physicians in the city.
The chief reason for this is that
the medical science has reached such
an advanced stage that sickness and
disease are gradually being brought
under the control of man." said the
doctor.
Another local doctor says that the
tendency is toward specializing on the
part of the doctors.
The old-fashioned doctor treated
everything from toothache to stubbed
toes. Today one will devote most of
his time to chronic cases, while an
other will deal chiefly with contagious
diseases.
We also have our ear. eye, nose.
throat and skin specialists, while 80
years ago these were practically IN
known,
The old family doctor used to per
form all operations, while today. only
the skilled surgeons do the operating,
Family Doctor for Cow.
The family doctor used to be able
to treat ailing stock, while the modern
doctor would throw a fit if asked to
look at the stock.
Even in veterinary work there are
specialists.
In proportion to numbers" said
the doctor. people living in the coun
try are ten times as healthy as the
city jewellers. although country people
are supposed to dwell under more eX,
posed conditions.
In Indictment weather the farmer
stays under shelter.
He is his own boss, while the
clock regulates the work OF the city
man, and all sorts Of weather must be
faced in pursuit of daily bread Again
farmers are not so apt to call a doc
tor, but will depend upon nature and
home remedies.
1t is estimated that the number OF
women requireing medical attention
is times that Of the men.
1t is said by all doctors. however
that the person who Immediately not
i1es the family physician are the
savers in the end, for the other type
of people let their ailments continue
until they have reached serious pro
portions and then are forced to take
long treatments.
The Chinese have an old adage tha
says pay a doctor to keep you II
good health and when i'll refuse TO pa!
him
The American people are, in
sense, living up to that adage. Now
adays the chief work Of the medica
men is disease prevention and no
cure. More good has been accomplish
ed by disease prevention than viii
ever result from curing the diseased.
Doctor Works Against Self.
A doctors profession is the only on
that works directly against itself
Stamping out of disease means a cur
tailed income to the doctors.
Not only has the medical profession
greatly improved during the last 8
years, but conditions surrounding thu
life of the doctors have also improved

DOCTORS NUMBERS DECREASING;
HEALTH METHODS LESSON NEED

with the cold air nipping his hands
and feet. So slow and uncomfortable
was his method Of transportation that
he had very few moments that could
be called his own.
The modern doctor makes his
rounds in an enclosed, high powered
motor car, and in addition to taking
care of a much larger practice than
formerly, has time for much personal
pleasure.
Thirty years ago, all it required to
be doctor was to spend year in
some doctors Office and then spend a
year in a medical college. After that,
the state examination, which was
very lax and our student was ready
for the title of NJ. D.
The modern doctor has to be a col
lege graduate and then has to spend
several years in medical school, be-
fore he can even take the state ex-
animation. The state examination is
at present a stiff proposition, and
takes a thorough medical knowledge.
Moderns Pay Bills.
One advantage the modern doctor
has over the old-fashioned one, is that
his patients pay their bills. In the
old days many people were afflicted
with the notion that if their bills were
promptly paid, instant sickness would
result. Present day people realize
that the doctor has to be paid. or
else he cannot make a living, and so
pay their bills. A great number, how
ever, carry a continual account on the
doctors books. but once in 2 or 3
years, drop in and pay up.
In spite Of all the advantages of
the modern doctor and of the medical
profession, only few young men
are taking up medicine as a profess
sion In the olden days young doc
tors were always starting practice
in this city. and the state was filled
with medical schools. The present
stringent requirements, before the
coveted NJ. D. can be secured, is per
haps the greatest reason for the
shortage of young doctors.
