plants. In pagan creeds the clergy
assumed to practice body-healing. and
the pagan priest was something of a
physician and pharmacist, but not
much.
People lost faith in the sacerdotal
doctor and put their faith in the
specialist in bodily ills and plant
virtues. There was a long period in
Europe when the "herbalists" held a
good deal Of public confidence. and
these were physicians who grew
plants and made medicine from them.
The separation Of the arts Of prescrib.
ing and compounding did not come
suddenly, and perhaps DR.. Morgan at
Philadelphia in 1865 did as much as
any other man to establish pharmacy
as separate art or science. The
first American pharmacopoeia was
published by William Brown in 177S,
and this was used in the hospitals Of
the Continental Army. The first edi-
ton of the Pharmacopoeia of the
United States was published in 1920,
following the issue Of the Pharma-
copoeia Of the Massachusetts, Medical
Society in 1908.
Pharmacy has been a progressive
art Many remedies" have become
obsolete and many new rcWedies dis.
covered. Old remedies of proved
worth have been made more efficient.
The pharmacists have swung away
from horrible and nauseous rene
dies" to remedies efficient and pala-
table. Ways have been found to make
unpalatable remedies taxable by the
use Of sugar and gelatin coating and
capsules. The age of powdered drugs
has been passed. the essential prin-
ciple in plants has been discovered and
fluid extracts produced. Chemistry
and pharmacy have been allies in the
work of relieving suffering and MAX
ing cures. The education of the phar.
macist has become more comprehen-
sive and exacting as the years have
passed.

The Druggists.

The National Association Of Retail
s"'F Druggists is holding its twenty-sixth
annual convention in Washington. The
evolution Of the drug store from a
place Of powders. pills, tinctures, sticks
of licorice and stacks of almanacs to
=, shop. where many things not strictly
classed as remedial agents are sold
has been rapid. The old-fashioned
drug store Of fifty. years ago was
generally a place Of SORROWS and
ss.a horrors. and the pharmacy or
e''F"'chemist's shop" of an earlier time
was place which people patronized
only through fear or necessity. No
doubt there are today some drug
sists" who are not pharmacists, but
"a. the drug store Is still a pharmacy.
r. ~. even though the drug odors have
q, been aired out, the gilt mortar and
pestle have been removed from the
sidewalk and the globes of red and
green fluid taken from the window.
Pharmacy has been described as the
art Of preparing and dispensing
remedial agents, and the modern drug
~ store, handsome in the arrangement
and display of goods and crowded by
Seople not all OF whom are vretched,

Psychology Tests in Schools.

The Beard of Education has fully
TEN Of psychological tests and educa
tional measurements which has here
tofore been introduced xperimcntaily
ir the Io--3. public school system. This
approval followed a protracted hearing
ut which citizens expressed them
selves both against and in favor Of
the innovation. In d series Of reSolu
tons the board affirmed its belief in
the value of the program Of educa
tional research and the establishment
Of opportunity classes for both rapid
and slow pupils where possible, and
accelerated promotions when evidence
indicates the probable success Of the
pupil in the higher grade.
Ii the psychology tests are applied
solely TO determine the fitness Of chill
dren to advance more rapidly or the
need TO hold them back for further
training in their present grades they
will undoubtedly be Of value. The
purpose Of the schools is not to force
the children to march in step by
routine, but to train and develop them
mentally. Some children advance
more quickly than others. Some are
more teachable and comprehend more
quickly. 1t docs rot seem fair to them
to hold them back for the slower ones.
Nor is it fair to the slower ones to
, advance them too rapidly. before they
have learned their earlier lessons
thoroughly.
Some years ago the half-year pro-
motion system was adopted to enable
children who were more facile to
progress in accordance with their
qualifica tons, and also to spare from
needless loss Of time those who were
compelled to remain behind in a par
;icular grade or high school year to
review certain studies. Then the
junior high school system was estab-
though particularly to relieve the con-
gestion in the major high schools, es-
peciaLy in the first-year classes.
These methods, it would seem, have
worked out satisfactorily to maintain
a steadier current of promotion, with
cut unduly forcing the students. The
psychological tests are designed to the
same end of more properly placing
the children in accordance with their
capabilities. They are, however. still
In the experimental stage. although
the Board OF Education has ratified
them. There remains the danger that
laboratory basis without proper re-
gard for the true welfare of the chill.
= dren. The public schools should not
be forcing beds for the premature de-
velopment Of human plants. They
should not be conducted to create
prodigies. but to give all children the
best possible training in studies which
are Of value to them for mental de-
velopment and for practical service in
adult careers.
Teaching is psychological process
in any event. and each teacher should
be character analyst to determine
the capacity of the child. The present
new system Of tests should be a sup
