country doctor being backward because he
takes no postgraduate studies and his educa-
ton stops the year he graduates. With the
preparation of up-to-date medical films the
country DOCTORS seeing these films at their local
meetings, can be as well informed as the physi-
clans In the great clinical centefs.
Imagine the value Of closeup magnif1ed
motion picture OF q great surgeon performing
delicate operation and describing it infinitely SO
that instead OF 20 students watching from
balcony it could be shown TO 100000 students
1000 times so they could almost repeat with
their eyes shut.
IT can think Of few things more important
30 surgeons and medical students throughout
the world than TO have in their own clinics,
perhaps thousands Of miles from the operating
rooms, pictures of the greatest masters perform
ing these operations.
These men will see and hear Mayo, Grille,
Black. Gushing, Armstrong and Chapman per-
form their operations with records that will
never die. We could have seen and heard
Murphy and Sem today if we had had this in
strument before.
Doesn't it sound like new miracle, the
story of few hundred feet of celluloid film,
small enough almost to be put into overcoat
pocket, taking the work of the masters of tech
nque to the most remote parts of the earth,
to the provincial medical men, handicapped by
distance and by lack of funds and opportunity?
GEvTHE use of the talking picture in medical
education is not confined to surgery but
can be adapted to the other divisions of this
important subject. The camera can catch iso-
lated glimpSeS OF q slowly developing disease
over periods of time and bring them together
in sequence just as the modern manipulation
OF the camera can make the petals of flower
unfold themselves in minute, whereas the I'M
folding process in nature may require weeks.
The Inclination OF the voice of the specialist
and the visual scene OH the film makes an in
dHlibe impression.
ION the other hand the rapid spaSmodic
muscular movements incident to LESSONS of the
brain center can be analysed by the slow
motion picture with equally good results. An
other of the possibilities OF the talking screen
lies within the cartoon film or animated draw
ing.

"The statement that the talking picture will

embryo give conclusive indications of what will
happen when this medium is completely ex-

MEETING TO AID EDUCATION
 WORK IN ALASKA SCHOOLS

The proposed conference of school superlntendents, to be held in south eastern Alaska during the coming month, will be real help to the AL aska school system, in the opinion of Leo w. Breuer, territorial commis- sioner of education.
 The plan is to have as many su- perintendents and principals as pos sible gather at Juneau late in May or carry in June for the purpose of discussing school problems and it is stated by MT. Breuer that he is re- ceiying very encouraging co-opera- tion from the various school boards, upon whom will rest the responsi- bllity of defraying the cost of send ing their school superintendents and principals to the meeting. There is no regular appropriation winch can be drawn upon for this purpose and the money therefore must come from the school budgets in the various communities.
 The present year is a particular ly favorable one in which to inau- gurate this work, it is pointed out by Mir. Breuer, for the reason that most ot the superintendents and principals who were employed last year, have been retained for anoth- CT term. A conference attended by educators who have had experience in the Alaska work is sure to be pro ductive of better results than if all or a majority of the superintendents were new to Alaska.

SENSATIONAL CHARGES MADE
 AGAINST PRISON OFFICIALS

COLUMBUS, ohio.- Sensational charges that prison officials could have saved all of the SIS prisoners who died in the Ohio State Peniten- tiary fire Monday night, and admis- sion from Warden Preston D. Thom- as that no general fire precautions are taken at the institution were written in the record of the Board of Inquiry. Charges that the prison of t1clals were lax in their considera- tion of the value of human life were made by the Columbus fire chief. The warden blamed the state for overcrowding the penitentiary to almost twice its capacity.
 A demand for the warden's sus- pension until all the facts are known, made by county prosecutor John J. Chester, Jr., caused clash between county and state authori- ties, but the issue was shelYed when Governor Cooper took the case out of the county prosecutors hands, assigning the attorney general to make the official inquiry.

RENAL OLDTIMER TAKES
 OWN LIFE; PAIN TOO GREAT

George Palmer, oldtime merchant of Kenai, ended his life April 10 by sending a bullet through his heart to put an end to his suffering. A note which he left in his store ex- plained that he could not stand the pain any longer.
 The message announcing the sui eide was sent to Anchorage form Ke- mai by the new wireless station which has just been installed there. An airplane was sent from Anchor age an hour later with officials to hold an inquest.
 Palmer is survived by common law widow, a native woman, for whose care generous provision was made in a will. He was about 75 years old at the time of his death and had been a resident of Alaska since stampede days.

LILIES FROM BERMUDA GRACE EASTER SERVICES
 AT CATHOLIC CHURCH

While beautiful flowers were prominent in Wrangell churches Easter Day, especially worthy of mention because of the distance they had come and the time elapsed since they were cut, were the Der muda lilies on the altar of the Cath ollie church.
 Two weeks before Easter, Father Monroe received from a friend in Bermuda, by mail via New York, a large box of cut lilies. They were carefully packed, each bud wrapped in oiled paper, and the hope that they might be kept for Easter was ardently expressed by members of his congregation. By keeping them in a cool, well-aired room and using a preservatiYe in the water the lilies rewarded the care given them and appeared in all their beauty for the Easter services. Larger in size than the usual Easter lily, although al most of the same appearance, thick petaled. and very fragrant, nine vases of them quite filled the altar, and only a close inspection revealed a few yellowing leaves on the lower stems, carefully concealed with Wrangell evergreen. No one seeing their beautiful profusion would dream that they were so far from their native soil.
