The fact is, it costs so much
money. time and work to become
a doctor now that the graduate
feels that he deserves 4 large re-
ward. 1t is not SO long since two
years was the length Of the msdi-
cal course and a high school dip
iona was not always required of
the medical student. From that
point, the medical colleges have
been steadily raising their stand
ards until now a firstclass univers-
ity demands either an A. B. de-
gree before the student can begin
his medical course, or, as is more
generally the case, two years Of
pre>medical college work is re-
quired. This gives the student
Latin. chemistry, biology and other
regular college subjects which will
lay the best foundation for medical
work.

Restoring The Flag

In 1921 almost 80 per cent of our
ocean-borne foreign commerce was
carried in ship under the American
flag. Americans were trained in a
seafaring life, the wages were paid
to Americans, and the profits of the
business went to American ship own
ers. In 1910, little less than 9 per
cent of our ocean-borne foreign COM
merce was carried in American ships.
We were sending our money abroad to
pay wages to foreign sailors and prof
its to foreign ship-owners. We were
training men for foreign naval serv-
ice. We are now in fair way, as a
result of the war, to get back some
what near TO our former standing as Il
nation. Let us hope that
will prevent full attainment
Of our desires.
