merce at it's regular meeting in the
Willard Hotel last night called upon
Congress for legislation 20 regulate

Attention was directed. by the
chamber in its resolution TO unnamed

practise of some schools of medicine
without proper training.
The resolution was adopted follow
ing the report OF William .. TUFTS,
chairman of the universities and pri-
Nate schools committee on the results
of a survey OF the educational insti-
tutions of the District.
Untold Damage" Alleged.
Mr.. Tufts found that low-grade
universities and colleges are doing
untold damage 70 the reputable insti.

undermining the value of all real de-

the following results:
Require a reasonable financial back

university authorized to grant de-
erees.
Require adequate library and labo-
ratory facilities for such institutions.
Require not less than six full.time

the staff Of The Evening Star as an ex.
ample of what could be done here and
praised the exposure Of conditions
