ECLECTICS BACK UP THREE SCHOOLS
Approve Kansas, St. Louis and MiddleseX Medical Colleges
HAD BEEN STRICKEN OFF
Connecticut Eclectic Medical Society Also Recommends Granting of Li- ccnses to Two New Applicants for Certificates,

Hartford, Dec. 27.-The Kansas City College of Medicine and Sur gery. the St. Louis College of Phy- sicians and Surgeons, and the Mid- dlesex College of Medicine and Sur gerry of Cambridge, Mass, have been restored to the list of colleges ap- proved by the Connecticut eclectic medical society. These colleges were stricken from the list of approved colleges following the disclosures made by the extraordinary grand jury which resulted in the revoca- ton of the licenses Of scores of ec- lectlc physicians in Connecticut.
 The restoration of the three col ieges to the approved list of the eclectic association was contained in a notice to Dr. Stanley H. Osborn, state commissioner of health, under date of November 8. A copy of the letter was forwarded by Dr. Osborn to Dr. James F. Hair, secretary of the eclectic examining board. The notification to the state department of health was signed by Dr. Gerald A. Richardson of Waterbury, secre- tary of the eclectic association.
 Played By Jury.
 The three colleges now restored were f1ayed In the report of the grand jury which for five months had investigated the ratifcations Of the diploma mill in Connecticut. The report was filed in the superior court March l4
 The eclectic examining board has recommended the granting of licenses to two applicants, who met the requirements of the state law. They arc Dr. Louis Levinson. a graduate of the Ohio eclectic col lege and Dr. John Wcidrick, who was graduated from the Iowa Ec- lectc college in 1885. and who had been licensed to practice in several states Both were admitted under reciprocity. no actual examinations having been held. The recommen- etate department of health but no licenses have yet been issued as the council has not yet met to act on the recommendations.
 The eclectic examining board yet consists of but four members, Dr. Ernest 4. Markham of Durham, Dr. James [. Hair of Bridgeport, Dr, John 0. Perry of New Haven and Dr. Ralph L. White of New Canaan. pr. Markham has rendered his res ignation which has not yet been accepted, but he has insisted he will no longer serve on the board The law requires that the examining board shall meet in March, July and November 10 consider such applica- lions as may be received.
 It was understood today that sev- eral suggestions had been made by the eclectic association to fill the vacancy on the examining board, but no definite action was taken in the matter pending the adjustment of conditions in the state. pr, James E. Hair today was unable to state whether the examining board would act on applications if any, from the three colleges just placed on the ap- proved list. This will depend en- tirely on a formal vote Of the eclectic association, which has not yet been taken.
 The state council of health has re- ceived from the several medical boards 136 names recommended for licensing In the state. Of these 1Sl were alopathic or regular, three ho- mopathic and two ecelctic. Since the grand jury investigation was started there have been no ecIectics licensed in the state.
