might be amended to admit boys into

suggestions for the organization. He
presented a model constitution, some
features of which will be adopted dt

outlined what could be accomplish
ed in this vivinity along conservation
lines. He said the farmers were
heartily cooperating with the de-
partment in developing the fishing in

there was a changed attitude towards
the game wardens, all of whom were
striving to see that the laws were
obeyed and the fish and game pro-

ant question as to what it is going
to do for doctors. Several towns now
have no resident phycisians and when
travelling is bad it becomes a serious
matter indeed.
The question is broad ono and IS
directly tracoablo to a shortage of
doctors. We understand that only
about 40 per cent of the number of
physicians being graduated from med
zeal college ten years ago are being
graduated today.
Educational standards have been
raised to a considerable extent which
has not only served to reduce tn
number OF potential physicians but
has also served to make q course in
medicine so expensive that practicing
in a small town with an annual in
come Of from $500 to $500 a yea1
fails to attract.
Presently we shall have to face the
problem of supplying medical assist
ancc in small towns Good roads and
the advent Of the automobile have
served to improve conditions some
what as it is AN easy matter for the
town doctor to get out into INC coun-
try but with such conditions rs exist
for number of months in Vermont
that solution of the problem will not
apply.
The present condition of affairs
promises to become worse instead of
better and presently will become in
sistcnt enough in its demands to Sc
cure serious consideration.

PRESS COMMENT
Boston Globe
WASTING TIME,
MONEY AND PAPER

A great many people, corporations,
societies and educational and religious
institutions are apparently laboring
under delu,ion that newspapers
cannot find matter enough to fill
their columns.
SO they are undertaking in far
more generous way than ever before
to supply "filers' for newspaper col
umns. This matter, which is always
furnished free" is bulking so large
in the days mail in newspaper Offices
that the waste basket appropriations
must be increased in every newspaper
budget. All sorts of special stories,
Gree editorials, free interviews
with the interested parties and free
news stories, are furnished to editors.
Usually the publicity agent sends
along a touching appeal saying Just
who would appreciate the insertion of
this material, (which will doubtless
be of the greatest interest to your
readers"
Why this SOFT of material contin-
ucs to be furnished to, newspapers in
such increasing abundance Is difficult
to understand. The percentage of it
which is used in almost negligible !:
it must make d very poor showing
compared with the amount of money
institutions and socities are spending
to have the matter prepared, printed
and distributed.
The enterprislng agent of the
Bryn Mawr endowment fund has
decided to trust her appeals to car
toonists the country over, in the hope
taht htey, not the editors, will find
space to boom their project, which is
herewith given publicity, if not in the
exact way in which she requested.
Anyone who knows the present sit
uation in newspaper Offices as to
available space knows that the news
print paper situation has almost eli
minated the chance for the requested
free publicity. In their columns news
papers are now trying to print The
news as fully as possible. EXtraneous
matter has to be eliminated that of
political as well as of other cam
| paigns-and the sooner it is realized
by societies, institutions and others
parties the better it will be for them
They will save their money and time
and spare themselves disappointing
results
