Philippine Medical
College Coming Up
Class A. Standard

MANILA, p. l., June 2O-(Associat-
ed Press Mail)-Bringing the college
of medicine and urgery of the Uni
versity of the Philippines up to the
recognized standard of class "a" col
leges of this sort in the United States
by revision of the college curriculum.
and the establishment of a central
nursing school that will double the
number of trained nurses graduated
annually in the Philippines, are two
oil the important measures regarding
public health and the control of dis
ease that have come about from the
work Of DR.. Victor G.. Heiser. Far
Eastern representative of the Rookie
teller Foundation, since his arrival
here three months ago.
DR.. Heiser summarized what has
been done in a report to Governor Gen
eral Wood and the director of health.
He invited attention to the fact that
the health activities of the Philippines
are not centralized under one depart
ment secretary, as he believes they
should be and he therefore recon-
mends that the legislation to do this,
which failed of passage in the last
legislature, be brought up again.
The International Health Board has
furnished the services of DR.. Charles
N. Leach to the Philippine government
for health work, of DR.. w. S.. Carter
as assistant dean of the college of
medicine and surgery and professor
of physiology, of Miss Alice Fitzgerald
as consultant in nursing and of D. w.
Tiedeman as sanitary engineer in
charge of field studies in malaria
which have been undertaken in the
province of Laguna.
About 1000 of the 5000 lepers on
Culion Island are receiving modern
treatment and arrangements have
been made to bring all the non-leper
children to Manila where they will
be cared for in a suitable institution.
DR.. Heiser said a study of the ty-
phoid epidemic has been made and
possible sources of infection pointed
out, with the result that the epide-
mic is becoming less severe. He said
typhoid is a particular menace to the
Philippines, as intestinal borne di-
seases are very difficult to eradicate
in this tropical climate.

%recaptured each time and placed in
another dungeon. At last he was
rescued by a strong party of his
friends, and his enemies were impri-
soned. To this historical source may
be traced the old Danish game, King
in the Castle.
A circle drawn on the ground is
the Kings Castle. One player is
counted out to be King. He remains
in the circle. The other players, the
Foeman, come lear to taunt him.
They sing in chorus, all the time
approaching as near as they dare:
To the castle of the King we go;
Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
Is His Majesty at home?
He's safe in prison eating
Ha-ha-ha! Ha-ha-ha!
Abroad he dare not roam!
The King tries to tag any n of
his opponents, but, according to the
rule of the game, he is not permitted
to put more than one foot out OF
his castle while he is attempting to
tag a Foeman. Any Foeman captured
(tagged) by the King becomes King
and goes into the prison castle, while
the former King joins the army of
Foeman. If the King does not tag a
Foeman after a certain time, all pelt
him with paper balls, singing.
King in the Castle,
Foeman all free.
King in the Castle, couldn't catch

"lndia's salvation consists il un-
Tearing what she has learned during
the past SO yeas. The railways, tele-
graphs, hospitals, lawyers, doctors
and such like have all to go, and the
so-called upper classes have to learn
to live religiously and deliberately
the simple peasant life, knowing it
to be a life giving true happiness.
There was true wisdom in the
sages of old having so regulated So
clety as to limit the material condi
ton OF the people; the rude pillow of
perhaps 5000 years ago is the pillow
of the ~husbandman today. Therein
lies salvation. People live long under
such conditions, in comparative peace

tivity.

The wolf, who was Chief Swift Wolf
under ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS avage
ly. He CRASHED his teeth and vainly
tried to leap toward the Medicine
Man.
Whirring Snake laughed at the
VOLTS frantic efforts to get loose. He
walked to the door of the house of
bark and raised his voice In a loud
call.
"Hoi-ya! Hoi-ya! Come all we hun
cry Indians to my FEAST" he cried.
Come, bold braves, come we squaws,
come ye papooses! l will feed We
well with my magic food"
The Indian came flocking at the
call Jack and Janet could see them
through the open door. They we're
wild Indians, wrapped in blankets
and with feathers sticking in their
braided hair. They gathered around
the house of bark in a large circle.
At the order of the Medicine Man
they built great fires on which to
roast the magic food he was to pro-
vide.
"Ah ha! Now who will help me in
my magic?" cried Whirring Snake. Il
need a dozen sparrows and six fat
mice and two big rats!"
At that strange request the Indian
boys ran about eXcitedly, hunting for
sparrows and mice and rats. Soon
they came with a dozen sparrows, six
fat mice and two big rats.
The Medicine Man took the spar
rows, the mice and the rats into the
house of bark and closed the door so
one outside might see what he did.
He spitted a sparrow or the end of
a spear and plunged it into his ma
gic pot. At the same time he mutt
cred queer words, 'Hullabaloo, ma
gic stew, do, do. what l want you
to do" He drew the spear out and
on the end where the sparrow had
been was a large turkey, ready to
be broiled and eaten. He placed the
turkey aside and took up another
sparrow. This, too, he changed into
a turkey, and so on with all the
others until he had a dozen fine tur-
keys.
Then the Medicine Man put a
mouse on the spear and plunged it
into the pot. Instantly the nous
grew so large it overlooked the pot.
The Medicine Man had to use all his
strength to lift it out. 1t had been
changed into a fat pig, ready to be
broiled and eaten. And so it went
with the other five mice. All became
pigs.
When the Medicine Man came to
the rats, he cut each into four pieces
with his sharp tomahawk. When he
plunged these into the magic pot they
turned into quarters of beef, ready to
be broiled and eaten.
Here is your feast!" cried the
Medicine Man, opening the door of
the house of bark and beginning to
hand out the turkey, pigs and quar-
tiers of beef. The Indians whooped
with joy, and dragged the magic food
to the fires to finish cooking it.
When the last quarter of beef had
been dragged away, the Medicine Man
closed the door and turned to Jack
and Janet. "Ah ha! Now l am going
to turn you into young BEARS" he
muttered. After Chief Swift Wolf
has devoured the lovely Spotted Fawn
and been slain for his hide, we will
have a bear hunt and that will be
the last of you"
That was bad news, but Jack was
ready for it. He had thought of a
plan to save himself and Janet and the
enchanted Indian maiden and young
chief as well.

will be told Friday.)

Gandhi At War With
Medical Science And
Modern Civilization

AHMEDABAD, India, June 5-(As.
ISOLATED Press MaiD-Mahatma Gan
dhi, in prison here for sedition. de.
clares his loss of liberty cannot ma
t~erially effect the progress OF India
nationalism, and urges his friends TO
sarry on the work in which he had
so large a part. He has no complaint
to make regarding his treatment by
prison officials.
Gandhi remains loyal to the prin-
ciple of Swadeshi, which he defines
as that spirit in us which restricts
us to the use and service of our i'm.
mediate surroundings, to the exclu-
sion of the more remote" In religion
he would follow only the forms of
worship used by his ancestors; in po-
litics, he would make use only of in
digenous institutions; in economic
life, he would use only things pro-
duced by his immediate neighbors,
and would serve only those industries
which are native to his own country.
He is at enmity with modern civili-
cation.
Airs His Views
Writing to a friend in India, Gandhi
explains his beliefs and aims in these
words:
There is no impossible barrier be-
tween East and West. There is no
such thing as Western or European
civilization, but there is a modern CT
vilization which is purely material.
The people of Europe, before they
were touched by modern civilization,
had much in common with the people
of the East.
at is not the British people who
are ruling India, but it is modern civil
lization, through its railways, tele-
graphs, telephones, and almost every
invention which has been claimed to
be a triumph of civilization. Bombay
Calcutta and the other chief cities
of India are the real plague spots.
IF British rule were replaced to-
morrow by Indian rule based on mo-
dern methods, India would be no bet
ter, except that she would be able
then to retain some of the money that
is drained away to England; but then
India would become only a second or
fifth nation of Europe or America.
East and West car only really meet
when the West has thrown overheard
modern civilization, almost in it's en-
tirety. They can also seemingly meet
when the East has also adopted mo-
dern civilization, but that meeting
would be an armed truce.
Medicine Black Magic
Medical science is the concentrat-
ed ssenc of black magic. Quackery
Is infinitely preferable to what pass
es for high medical skill. Hospitals
are the instruments that the devil has
