 The clipping revealed that Mir Blan- ion in letter to Texas newspapers had charged members with d concerted plan to raid the Treasury and obtain salary increases. which he alone had prevented heretofore The press was asked to help, and many papers to which appeal was made responded with bitter assaults upon those charged with backing tie alleged salary grab.

DR. ELIZABETH BLACKWELL

The first woman to take a doctors degree and secured that only after a hard battle with the powers that were, was born in this month of celebrities. Such an innovation as a woman study ing medicine led some folks to believe that she was either bad woman or a lunatic, and it is told that the wife of one physician who boarded at the | same place, refused to speak to her. One summer during vacation, she stud jed in the women's department of the great Blockley Aims House in Philadel- phia. At this place the consequences of the social evil were for the first She wrote to her sister: "So help me God, I will not be blind or indifferent or stupid in relation to the matter as are most women. The world can never be redeemed till this central relation of life is placed on q true footing" Dr Blackwell graduated in tS49 at the head of he'd class. All the surrounding country turned out to see her take her degree Later she studied in London and Paris, receiving much kindness from distinguished physicians and mak ng valued trends, among them being Florence Nightingale, who used to talk 10 her by the hour and express her hearts desire to study medicine
 Being shut out from the hospitals and dispensaries by men physicians. she started Il dispensary of her own in 1857 with younger sister, pr. Emily Blackwell and Dr. Marie ZakrewSka. and founded the New York Infirmary for women and children. This was the first hospital conducted entirely by women And don'f think for a mo ment that it had no opposition. The objections formed themselves into an almost adamantive obstacle. but like every other thing that tries to bar the march of progress, the objections were battered down DS the lew falthful Wo- men and sprinkling of men-but not without many heartaehe and scald- ing tear over this weakness and preju dice of the masses against woman's en- trance into the holy ministry of medi- cine I.
