VIVISECTON DEFENDED
BY DIR: SIMON FLEXNER
Director of Rockefeller Institute
Tells Georgetown College Stu
dents of Progress Made.

Declaring that mans inalienabLe
right to use the material things OF
the world for the benefit of the race
was responsible for the rapid strides
in medicine. DR.. Simon Flexner, di-
rector OF the Rockefeller Institute
for Medical Research. of New York,
in a lecture defending vivisection
given yesterday at Georgetown Col
lege, traced the rapid advances OF
the profession during the last fiftS
years.
DR.. Flexner emphasized the neces-
sity of experimentation on animals $
a means of intelligently coping with
future epidemics and cited the recent
influenza scourge as an example. Sue
cess attained by the profession in
combating yellow fever was entire
ly attributable, he asserted, to vivi-
section.
DR.. william Woodward, former
health officer of the District, attack
ed the attempt being made in Con-
gress to provide Legislation prohibit
ing animal experimentation in medi-
cine. Efforts on the part of op-
ponents OF viviscction to secure such
measures, he declared, were being
made solely for the purpose of pro-
viding an entering wedge for a ma
tion-wide drive against viviscction.

Another important factor Is the

found to be included in the telephone

The Telephone and Young Ladies

In a recent newspaper description
of the English telephone girls and the
conditions surrounding their work, it
was said they do not just 90 and get
their jobs as they do in America; that
in sense they are born into the ser.
vice, their fathers having been civil
servants for years, and that from the
beginning the prospective telephone
girls future work is determined.
This and other facts about our for
eign sister telephone girls have led
to an investigation Of how they do
things in telephone circles right hare
in Texas.
In the United States there are many
vacations open for young women, any

the school period, of which more will
be said later. This is followed by an
interview with the Health Supervisor
and physical examination by the
company's physician.
About rs per cent of the applicants
OF the larger cities in Texas are &C.
cepted, by the way. They must be at
least seventeen years old. If one is ac-
cepted, she is at once placed in the
operating school as a student, and Civ
en- complete course Of instruction in
local or toll operating, according to
the needs Of the service, and that par
ticular branch of service she seems
most fitted for.
The school course of about three
weeks, embraces talks, lectures, quiz
yes, practice work at switchboards.
and final examinations. The school
and the instruction work is under the
supervision Of the school principal and
her corps Of assistants, all Of whom
are especially trained experts in this
particular branch of the business.
which is the scientific preparation
and training Of young women for
telephone work.
Not so many years ago, we find that
the telephone companies upon accept
ing applicants for this work placed
them Immediately at the switchboards
without any preliminary training.
This meant that the fundamental prin-
ciples Of operating and the necessary
experience were gained at the expense
OF tn subscriber, and the sacrifice of
the service. With the rapid growth
OF the business and great increase in
the use Of telephone service every
where, the telephone operating schools
were created where, in a few weeks,
the experienced, efficient operator is
developed, at the company's expense.
In the actual work itself there are
many positions Of responsibility to be
filled. From operators to junior and
senior operators, supervisors, assistant
chief operators, chief operators, ma
irons, etc, and consequently many OPP
portunities for advancement. The COM
pany is constantly on the lookout for
the ones that can be advanced into
positions requiring thorough knowl-
edge Of the work and executive ability.
A very interesting story in itself
could be written about the many feat
ures provided by the telephone sys-
tens, not only in Texas, but through
out the country, which make the con-
ditions under which its employees work
the very best that can possibly be
obtained.
In American cities the buildings
are Of the solid, substantial kind,
where fresh air, light, and sanitation
are Of first consideration. There are
rest rooms where the employees during
their relief and off duty periods may
refresh themselves in many ways.
For reading purposes, the best mag
azines and daily papers are at hand;
for the unsteady inclined there is q
piano or other musical instruments.
There is also afforded every opportun-
ity for complete relaxation and rest
for those who prefer it to anything
else. These rest rooms are indeed at.
tractive and coy. More than that;
they not only furnish 4 place for the
things mentioned, but here pleasant
