MAKE 1T THREE-AND OUT

Chicago's effort at political house-cleaning by way
Of the primaries Tuesday, meets with the approval of
good citizens everywhere.
Politics is politics. and at this distance it is i'm
possible to say that the Deneen-Swanson-E -Emmerson
aggregation is any better than the Small-Thompson-
Grove machine. Certainly it be 1t
would be difficult to imagine extetensive out
break of lawessness than Chicago has seen for the
past year two.
The out TRACES perpetrated there by gangsters and
politicians have made Chicago black mark on the
entire country. Many indeed assumed that it was lax
government that Chicago wished. The votes of the
citizens Tuesday prove the contrary to be At
least the regime promises better things and the cit
liens should hold them to that promise.
Grove and Small are doomed to be back numbers.
Thompson declared recently that if Grove failed of
nomination, he (Thompson) would quit his office as
mayor. There will be a general and widespread hope
throughout the nation that he lives up to his word.
big Bill is clever politician, but mayor partcu-
lary the head of the second largest city in the country
should be something else besides politician.

Uncle Wiggily heard their lessons

Wiggilv came to wide river and
he thought if he could jump across
that he would be safe.
So he gathered his legs under him
and he made the biggest jump Of
his life, But, no sooner was he on
the far bank Of the river than there
was the Skillery Scallery Alligator,
who had swum across i'll the water
while the rabbit was jumping over.
- Now Il get your ears, : said
the Gator. But Uncle WigJily took
d stick and with it drew in the
soft mud on the river bank some
pictures of funny little men in the
shape Of letters. The little men
seemed to be dancing along in the
shape of letters like Y, and V.
Z" You cant nibblc my ears until
YOU tell me what words these lit

the Gator had to stop and puzzle it

At present there is only one colored

population.
Every effort is being made to main
tain faculties up to the highest stand

ticularly in the School of Medicine. In
that department last year out of total
number of 235 students. 167 were COL

School of Medicine.
School of Pharmacy.
During the past so years the School
of Pharmacy has maintained a con-
! tinuous existence, sending out more
than 400 graduates. 1t is interesting tc
| note that the very first graduate OF
| Howard University was Dr. James
, Thompson Wormley of the pharmaceu-
| tical class of 1870. While the Schoo
of Pharmacy enjoys the facilities of the
new medical building 1t has entered
into new and enlarged quarters of its
own. The third and fourth floors OF
| the old medical building have been
| reconstructed to provide suitable lee

which are we'll lighted, heated and ven-

The administration of the Federal
bureaus here brings together a large
corps of scientific workers, and already
has made Washington the great scien-
tiflc as well as political center of the
country.
There is a growing tendency to in
sist that our students should be taught
to think internationally-we no longer
can keep aloof from world affairs-the
: problems of the World War and of re-
construction will not allow us to confine
ourselves to the history. economic con-
ditions and customs of our own country.
There are many factors of great i'm
portance to be found here as in no
other city of the United States. The
diplomatic corps in Washington is as
large and as representative as that of
any capital of the world, and its men,
bers are available for lectures on great
international problems. The Library of
Congress, the Chamber of Commerce of
the United States, the Carnegie Endow-
ment for International Peace. the
Pan-American Union. the Inter-Amer-
lean High Commission. the Car
negie Institution, the elaborate files in
the departments of the Federal Gov
eminent. rs well as other official and
semi-official agencies, both national and
international. offer a wealth-indeed a
uperabundance-of material for the
person about to engage in any branch
of foreign service
Besides all this, Washington is the
place where the greatest international
problems of this period. such as the
limitation of ornaments, Pacific prob
lens. etc. are discussed. giving an op-
rortunity for close study to all students
living in the Capital.

HOWARD j. READY
FOR FALL SESSION
School OF Medicine, in New
Quarters, Attracts Many
Desirable Students.

With the acquisition of a new build
ing and equipment, the School of Medi-
cine and the allied branches of dentis-
try and pharmacy at Howard University
will enter the 1928-29 school year
october l with new impetus in the de-
velopment of these subjects.
The medical building was dedicated
Just before the close of school last
Spring, when elaborate ceremonies ex-
tending over two-day period were
held. Since that time the building has
been conceded one of the foremost in
stitutions of medical instruction for
colored students. In addition to its
regular lecture room and laboratory
facilities, the building houses medical
library and an auditorium with a seat
ing capacity for 500 persons.
The new buildings facilities will be
available during the coming terms not
only to medical students, but to the stu
dents of dentistry and pharmacy as we'll.
The latter departments of the university
long worked under a severe handicap
imposed by lack of proper room. They
were housed in an old Army barracks,
with limited space for equipment and
student usage.
With the opening of the new medical
building. however. the vacated building
WHICH, IOiIlSsl ly IiHuScu lIle IIltultdi ut-
partment was renovated at a cost of
$4,000. At present the dental infirm-
ary provides ample space. light and ven-
tilation for so chairs, all of which are
equipped with dental practice facilities
of approved design Besides the infrm-
airy, rooms are provided for X-ray
work, examinations. extractions and
rest rooms for patients and offices for
the dean and superintendent. Lecture
rooms and we'll equipped laboratories
for prCsthetic dentistry also are includ-
cd in the new inf1rmary quarters build
ing.
Many New Students.
During the past year these facilities
have attracted many more clinical pa
tents. There is a children's clinic,
serving the neighboring public schools
in which 2,161 children received atten-
ton last year Clinics also are conducted
for the Board of Charity and the Dis
trict Board of Public Welfare. These
together with private patients, provide
ample practice work for students of the
senior junior and sophomore classes.
With such splendid equipment for
both pre-clinical and clinical work In

agencies It's student body is recruited
from every State in the Union. They
go forth from the Capital thoroughly
imbued with the finest ideals of Amer
lean culture and patriotism.
The university is a training school
of specialists, in theology. philosophy
letters, law, and the sciences. Its
graduates become the leaders of Amer
ican Catholic life and the circle of its
influence is widening daily until we
feel its effects even in the femotest
sections of our vast country. The pro-
fessorate of the Catholic University is
made up of body of men whose repu
tations are, in many cases, internation-
al. They are not group of cloistered
scholars. Many are leaders in scien-
tific. educational, social and religious
movements of large significance or of
profound influence.
They thus contribute their share TO
the development of American culture
and to the advance of American spirit
ual ideals. The university feels that
its situation in Washington is some
thing of which to be proud and CRATE
full. 1t hopes that the people of Wash
lngton will come to learn and appre-
ciate what this institution is doing for
the inner life of America. and will ex-
tend the support which 1t merits from
the residents of the Capital of the
Nation.

in the biggest and most famous intel
lectual competition known to the edu-
cational world. The nations in the
1928 contest are the United States,
England. France, Germany, Canada.
Mexico Cuba and Argentina.
Another striking feature of the con-
test is that in its phenomenal growth
from an idea in Southern California
to an institute in eight nations at
present, and with many others ready
to enter next year. it has held stead
