City Physicians Cautious in Cancer Find Comment

Doctors Are Inclined to Be Skeptical of Value of Discovery. (Continued from Page One) ease, public health authorities stated. The two discoverers arc New York City physicians who had worked under private research grants, for about ten years before bringing their experments to the National Institute of Health for critical testing. Received With Caution Reports from Washington that two New York doctors have succeeded in producing an unmistakable case of cancer in a guinea pig by injecting a micro-organism or germ from a human body were received cautiously by local physicians today. Dr. William F. Kennedy frankly was sceptical about the experiment. He cited the fact that the report stated that the test had been successful on only one animal. "I can not see now,” said Dr. Kennedy, “where such an experiment will help us much in the future. Dr. Mauri Schley of Chicago has performed about 100.000 similar experiments on rats. She has bred cancer in and out of thousands of families of rodents. Her work is a miracle of the laboratory, but still we are no further in our knowledge of cancer. Rice Is Skeptical "However I will be the first to commend the experiment should it prove feasible in helping us to blaze the way to ultimate solution of the baffling problems of cancer.” Dr. Thurman B Rice, professor of bacteriology at the Indiana university School of Medicine, declared that he did not believe cancer was due to bacteria. "Discoveries similar to the Glo-ver-Engle experiment have been hinted at many times," he said. "A great many people are under the impression that cancer is infectious. I want to tell them not to be alarmed. There is no case on record where cancer was caused by infection.” Dr. Walter Kelly of Irvington expressed a similar opinion. He said that he would not accept the theory until he had seen it printed in the Medical Journal. "Too many similar experiments have been brought forward recently and proved worthless to physicians striving to find a practical cure," he said. Galch Will Wait Dr. W. D Gatch received news of the new discovery cautiously. "Fifty or a hundred such reports come out every year, and none of them has been helpful thus far." Dr. Gatch said. "If it Is true that a cancer germ actually has been injected into a guinea pig, producing unmistakable cancer, it is of the utmost importance. But let us wait for more details. Dr. Herman G. Morgan, city health board secretary, said he also had heard similar stories of cancer discoveriets in the past. "In the past, cancer has not been regarded as a transmissible malady. If the Glover-Engle experiment indicates that the disease is transmissible to animals other than the Schley’ rats, it is. of course, something entirely new.” Dr. Morgan said.

PRINCE TO DE BRITISH PUPIL Carol of Rumania Reported to Have Given Consent to Plan for Son. Bp I nited Press LONDON. April I.—King Carol of Rumania, it is reported, has yielded to the entreaties of Princess Helen to have their son, young Crown Prince Michael, educated in Britain. The decision, if true, marks the end of a conflict between the estranged royal couple over the 11-year-old prince’s future. Carol hitherto has insisted that Michael be educated in Rumania under his own eye, whil Helen has wanted him in Britain, where she would be near him. Inquiries are being made here concerning a suitable preparatory school for the boy. The school where the Princess

Prince Carol's feeling for Britain, it is understood, has been none too warm since he was asked to leave the country a few years ago, before he had regained the Rumanian throne. Piincess Helen declared he was so annoyed at British sympathy for her and Michael that he abruptly recalled the crown prince to Bucharest last October, when Michael was visiting his mother here.

ADVOCATES NEW GRADE SYSTEM FOR COLLEGES De Pauw Professor Would Require Efficiency Examinations Yearly. . Bp I imes Speeial GREENCASTLE, Ind.. April I. A radical departure from the present system of grading college students has been worked out by Professor Earl C. Bowman of the department of education at De Pauv. university. Professor Bowman advocates complete abandonment of a system of grades, thus getting away from the highly competitive scramble for high marks and the resultant slip-shod work which it permits on the part of a large portion of the students The new plan requires a student to take a comprehensive examination over the first year's work in the fields in which he expects to major and minor. He must pass this test with a high degree of efficiency. Failure to pass the examination would force the student to take additional courses or prepare himself better by outside coaching. After the student qualifies for work in his major and minor field, he would not be subjected to other tests and examination until near the end of the course, when he would undergo another comprehensive examination over the* entire field. Should he fail to make the proper proficiency level, he would be permitted to take other examinations. These tests would be conducted by professors of other institutions and essay questions would be graded by at least three professors, the composite of the three grades being used as a guide to determine the satisfactoriness of the work done. Courses other than those in the j major and minor could be taken toi ward graduation, but rated only as | satisfactory or unsatisfactory. Unj der this system a teacher might give | as many tests as he thought neces--1 sary to assist him in teaching, the : student being left to mark his j own papers, the test being used to I give the student a better idea of j how he was assimilating the work. | De Pauw is attempting to find a ! new system of grading students that j has none of the evils found in the j old system of hours and points or ; the new system of P-plus. a grade | denoting anything above passing. Faculty committees have been at j work doing all kinds of research on j the subject. Professor Bowman's I plan is one on which he has been | working independently for a numI ber of years.

CIVIC CLUBS TO ASK CUTS IN UTILITY RATES Federation Votes to Urge Companies to Lower Charges. Voluntary rate reduction will be asked of the light, water, gas and telephone companies as result of action taken by the Indianapolis Federation of Community Civic Clubs Friday night. After lengthy debate, the federation voted to prepare petitions to be submitted to the companies. Strenuous objection to including the Citizens Gas Company in the list of companies to be asked to reduce rates was presented bv John F. White. He explained the city's right to acquire the gas company has been upheld by the United States supreme court, adding that to force it to reduce rates would be “destroying a part of your own property.” Petitions to Be Submitted Paul C. Wetter, former municipal judge, said he believed the gas company is losing money. However. I signed a petition for reduction of telephone rates recently," Wetter said, "and that company also says it is losing money so it is just as fair to reduce the gas company's rates as those of other utility companies.” White asserted utility rate reduction cases should be uistituted under the new public sendee commission so the public would have the advantage given it under the new laws passed by the legislature. The petitions to be submitted to untility companies will ask that rates be reduced to conform to reductions in cost of labor, materials and commodity prices. Wetter Named President Weter was elected president of the federation. Other officers elected included Mrs. Robert Dennis, first vice-president; H G. Lieske. second vice-president, and Mrs. B. B. McDonald. re-elected secretary. The federation adopted a petition commending Indianapolis public school teachers for their unselfish attitude in offering to serve without pay. if necessary, to complete the school term.
