Attitude Of the Public
''Thc attitude of the general nub,lc
toward such a physician is about the same
as mat Of the patients. even although the
general public does not come into actual
contact with the physician.
IT Is, therefore. we'll for n physician to
realize that the position Of the public toward
nm from the professional standpoint is
about the same as that of his own patients,
and that he consequently finds his place in
me professional world, not by his technical
knowledge alone, but by all Of the attributes
whirh combine TO make him the ideal ply
slcian. one whom the public must and will
respect ana upon whom the patients, in
many cases. lean as their only hope.

country doctor. those heroic and self soc-

immense amount of time involved in the
requirement of the necessary education.

JERSEYS DOUBLE MYSTERY

IT HAS been a week or more since people
i began TO observe that Jersey justice
wasn't moving with its traditional celerity
at New Brunswick. where circumstances
seem to be in a conspiracy permanently to
obscure the truth about one of the most
atrocious crimes ever perpetrated in the
State. That impression appears to have
been established in the mind of Governor
Edwards. The formal assignment OF repre-
sentatives Of the state police to New
Brunswick means that two mysteries are
now where only one mystery was before,
The State detectives virtually arc under
orders not only to learn who killed the Rev.
Mr.. Hall and Mrs. Mills. but to learn the
identity and purposes Of those who clearly
have been working with considerable success
to obstruct or confuse the work Of the local
authorities.
1t is not often that politics and murder
mysteries become involved. But something
OF the sort appears 10 have happened in
New Jersey. Gossip in the northern part
of the State is based upon the assumption
that powerful political interests have
intervened to bring the case of the Hall
Mills murder TO an indefinite end and 70
prevent any further airing Of scandals that
may have preceded it. Dominant interests
In the New Brunswick area are Republican
and Governor Edwards Is a Democrat. This
does not mean that the Governor is at
tempting to make political capital ont of
domestic scandal and the tragedy to which
It led But it does mean that the State
police will not be less energetic because Of
the peculiar political circumstances of the
mystery that they are called upon to solve.
1t ought to surprise no one If the Sec
ondary sensation at New Brunswick is as
great as the first one. 1t already i, clear
that persistent but rather clumsy efforts
have been made to conceal extremely i'm
portant underlying facts of sort by which
police and detectives and, finally. courts
and juries are ordinarily guided. The Jersey
State police now virtually are under the
orders Of the Governor 10 learn what these
facts were, why they have been hidden and
who was active in causing them to be even
partly concealed until nov

HAVE WE A JOHN WELSH
FOR SESQUI.CENTENNIAL?
Success of Exhibition of 1876 Was
Largely Due to Public Confidence In
spired by His Financial Leadership

T0HN WANAMhKER'S recent statement
- that the success Of the Centennial Exh-
biton Of 1876 was very largely due to the
work of John Welsh has revived interest in
n man who was once one Of tho most nota-
bic figures in the life OF Philadelphia.
Mr.. Welsh was n banker and was n rich
man, as riches were considered in those
days, though he was probably not mil
lionaire by any means.
Mr.. Wanamakcrs statement that the
Centennial was made possible through the
work of Mr.. Welsh might well have been
amended to say that it was made possible
by the character Of Mr. Welsh even more
than by his work. He was n man whose
whole business and private life was founded
on perfectly plain understanding Of the
value of honesty. frugality and thrift. At
the same time he recognized the paramount
duty of every successful man to do all that
was in his power for those who wcrc not
able to achieve so much success.

FIRE PREVENTION

flames near gas leaks. the careless use of

presents advice which. II followed by adults,
would cut the fire losses enormously not
only In Philadelphia but throughout the
country.
With the facilities at our disposal we
should suffer less by fire than any other
country. As matter of fact, unnecessar ry
fire losses in the United States are about
ten times greater than similar losses in any

DIR. ARTHUR NJ. FLACK
On Cost of Modern Education

A MODERN technical or professional edu'
n cation is too costly for the average
young man or woman, and something should
be done to bring the cost of learning the
particular line which the younger generation
wishes TO follow down to the point whcr"
they can meet it. according to DIR. Arthur
NJ. Flack. dean of the College of ostcopathy
and ncurologist in the Ostcopathic Hospital.
"A modern technical or professional edu-
cation" said Ilr. Flack. "will cost the IN
diyidnul from $500 to $1,000 year during
the entire period of instruction. and this is
too great an outlay for many Of them to
meet especially at n time when the whole
trend of education is for higher standards.
Not only this, but in the professions two or
three years of pre- professional work are re-
uuircd. and this means from seven to eight
years of work and study before the young
man can become producer.

Perhaps the whole secret Of John Welshs
success with the Centennial lay in the fact
that his previous public activities had won
for him the absolute confidence of all the
people of Philadelphia and many of the
people in other parts of the country whose
business activities had brought them in con-
tact with him. He had always stood ont
as man who considered it privilege rather
than duty to promote movements that were
for the public welfare His was 4 guiding
voice in the deliberations of the Sinking

To him and his unsclfsh activities was

I'VE hear good deal today about the
aristocracy of brains. This is all right in
its way. but we do not want Il brains of
aristocracy, and there is wide difference
between the two things. While most edu-
Gators could and should have the aristoc-
racy of brains. by which we simply mean
higher brain cultivation. we should follow
the plan of making that higher education
available to the masses. so that the young
man who does not come within the aristoc-
racy of wealth shall still have the oppor-.
tunty for II professional career ahead OF
him if he desires it.
IL feel that there is n strong tendency to
limit the average individual in the estab-
lishment of this so-caled arstocracy of
brains. This is evidenced by the fact that
most of the higher institutions Of learning
are restricting the size of their classes. AS
a matter of fact. one Of the most noted
medical schools in the country has now
limited its classes to 100 students.

Suggests a City College

Now, IT cuuCutlOn Is 10 Dc OF advantage
to the individual, it should be easily avail
able for the masses of the people My view
of making that possible is the establishment
of a city college, SO that brains and in
ccntve should be the motives for the ac-
uurement Of n higher education rather than
that money should be- rs 1t often is at pres
ent. the determining factor.
II believe that the establishment of n city
college would result in the moving up Of tho
high school graduates into the higher
branches of technical and professional train
ing and thus leave room in the lower grades
for the thousands of young men and women
who are now cropping for an education.
Il further believe that the lack Of cdu-
cation is at least in n measure responsible
for the great Grim" wave which has cngulfcd
the country. The great bulk Of crime is
committed by uncducatcd individuals. those
whose mental or moral sense is deformcd or
uniformed, This is the rule, although | fully
realize that greHt crimes are often COM
mitted by those Of extremely high mental
capacity and of high education.

"The ultimate aim of education should be
that Of producing the greatest possible ad-
vnntages to the public at large and at the
same time developing the individual to his
