Several of the university's medi-
cal students are earning their way
by laboratory work closely related
to their regular classroom assign
ments For example, two young
men are at work on project
mounting animal skeletons for study
purposes at Gallinger Hospital.
Since one of their courses is in
comparative anatomy. both students
feel that this part time paying job
gives them real inside on the SUBJ

At Catholic University, where
there are ISL students receiving
student aid, some of the boys are
working in the School of Aero

Prof. Louis H. Crook. Freshmen
are making wind tunnel models, ex-

men in testing characteristics OF

Most of the students questioned
at both George Washington and
Gallinger agreed that their work
teaches them as much in their par
ticular fields as a regular academic
course. Students work closely with
their professors. They spend so ex-
ira hours a month doing paid work
in related projects, which results for
the most part in giving them a much
better understanding of their
courses; and they must keep up
their marks or they lose their place

various important capacities here
In Washington, ranging from an
assignment with the National Public
Health Administration, another with
the first War Industries Board and
subsequent detail to duty with
the Army chief of staff. To do
her bit, Mrs. Bolton headed COM
mittee with Miss Ella Crandall to
raise additional funds for providing
adequate nursing service for the
wives and families of men called
! to service overseas.
She also was one of those who
early realized the problem of train
ing the tremendous number of
nurses required for service with
wounded troops. With Miss Annie
Goodrich, who was later to head
Yale's School of Nursing Education,
and COL Winfred Smith, Mrs. Bol-

daguerreotype to the stage of a
commercial success, and in either
1842 or 1843 Brady established a
portrait studio at the corner of
Broadway and Fulton street in New
York. His work soon attracted at
tention and his studio was patron
lied by thousands. At each of the
annual exhibitions of the American
Institute in the years 1844-48 his
exhibit received the first premium
award of silver medal, and in
1849 the first gold medal ever
awarded to daguerreotypes.
About this time he began to make
tinted daguerreotypes on ivory, an
innovation that brought him in
creased patronage. He published in
1850 his Gallery of Illustrious
Americans" which had a consider
able circulation. In 1851 he took
a collection of 48 portraits of the
World Fair in London, receiving
the prize medal for American
daguerreotypes, with commenda-
ton for their beauty Of execution" :"
and in 1853 he received the prize
medal at the World Fair in New
York. About 1855 he brought over
from England Alexander Gardner,
an expert in the wet-place process,
invented by Scott-Archer, and
thereupon discarded the daguerreo-
type for the photograph. He estab-
lished a branch studio in WASH
ington in 1858, and in 1859 a second
studio farther uptown in New York,
subsequently abandoning the one
at Fulton street. The most eminent
Americans In all walks of life sat
for him and he became famous
as well as prosperous.

The Daily Routine.

For years he. has followed a daily
routine in preparing his cartoon.
He is one Of the early arrivals at
the office. He reads the papers
carefully and often sketches ideas
from the headlines. He and his
associates discuss the news for car
toon possibilities. Some days the
news is full of cartoons. Some days
it is dry and the cartoon comes
hard. When the subject is finally
selected and outlined, however, the
cartoonist's enthusiasm is contagious.
That is what makes it so much
fun to work with him. His work
has been play. of which he never
grows tired. His vigor, his fresh
ness, his keen enjoyment of life
and people, infect those about him,
At 10 he is still to know what it
means to grow old.

Springman Family.
In the residence once at 497 Mary
land avenue resided the Springman
family, one of the first families to
settle in this neighborhood. Here,
at an earlier date, also lived Fred
erick Luff, said to have been con-
nected with the Philadelphia Pub
lie Ledger. In the next house, or
where was once 499, lived the de-
scendants of John Imirie, who en-
gagged in the grocery business on this
site during the Civil War.
According to Mr.. Handy. from the
Imirie house to the corner of Sixth
street was once an old farm house,
where John Springman lived. Some
where close by was the home of Will
liam j. Murtagh, who at one time,
with S. P. Hanscom, published the
National Republican.
Mr.. Handy, who knew South
Washington about as well as any
man who lived there. in reply to
his relationship with the noted
photographer, Matthew B. Brady,
st Civil War fame. said Mr.. Brady
was his uncle by marriage, having
married Julia, the only sister by the
full blood to his (Handy's) father,
whose father, Samuel Handy
(Handy's grandfather), it seems,
was married four times and had in
all % children, Levin G. Handy's
father and Mrs. Brady being the
only children by the last wife.
Matthew Brady.
Matthew B. Brady was an unusual
character, and surely the best
known of the pioneer photographers
of America. In the United States
his name will last as long as the
history of photography itself, espe-
cially for his Illustrative work in
connection with the Civil War,
which is, and always will be, Of in
estimable historic value to the STU
dent of that great conflict.
From a sketch by an unknown
author, loaned to the writer by Mr..
Handy, we find that Mr.. Brady
was born in Warren County, N. Y.
His father was an Irishman; of his
mother nothing is recorded. Ac-
counts of his life present bewil-
dering maze of conflicting state
ments, but scrapbook and other
material left by him make possible
a clearing up of many of the con-
tradictions. In spite of his meager
schooling, he managed to pick up
some sort of an education. He had
his own way of spelling the first
part of his given name and he ap-
pears not to have known what the
initial B represented. At Saratoga
he met William Page, the portrait
painter, who encouraged him to
draw, and who later, in New York
City, introduced him to S. F. B.
Morse.
The youth became deeply inter-
ested in Daguerre's discovery (made
known in 1880 as well as In the
Photographic experiments Of Morse
and Prof j. w. Draper in the fall
of that year, and soon began ex-
perimenting on his own account.
