ATSPECIAt MEETIHG ? ' , (Continued from Pag One.) kali, their wage were turned Into the treasury of the hospital, bringing In ' about' $900 per year. Now they cannot do this work until they hare graduated. The ayatem at the hoapitai la wrong. We oughvto get together and work together. They think we are Champa. We are of aa high grade aa any other profession in the city, and if you appoint two trustees, by any means of selection, from among the doctors of the city, they will be aa gocd men aa are now on the board. ' This board haa stood up on stilts and looked down on us. That is the trouble." cCouncilman Evana then desired to . know is the doctors wanted to be represented on the board for personal reasons or for the good of the hoapitai and the people. He was told the doctors desired to aid the institution and the public. Dr. Hopkins echoed the sentiments of Doctors Bond and Stevenson. Dr.

Johnson waa then called upon. "The hospital doea not do me any good in particular," he aald, "for I can more conveniently take care of my patients at their homes. Only the surgical doctors are benefited by the hospital." Dr. Dramkamp voiced his opinion that if doctors had been placed on the board in the beginning the present state of affaire would not have resulted. He stated the need of more apparatus. Dra. King, Krueger, Welter, Marvel, Hoffman, Schllllnger and others in rapid succession Spoke their sentiments, heartily agreeing with the doctors who had previously spoken. Dr. Schllllnger said the trustees were out of touch with the "common people." Mr. Rupe then arose and stated that Mr. Held deaired the hospital located where it was. He also said that the late William B. Leeda donated $10,000 with the proviso that the present site be selected. ' The doctors then stated that they had secured optlona on the ground, near the South Tenth Street park, and rwere not Informed of the selection of the old Miller estate until all arrangements for Its purchase had been made. They stated they had . been lead to believe they would have a voice in the selection of the hospital site. Mr. Rupe answered this by saying he had been commended many times by noted men on the location of the hospital. ' Replies to Criticisms. , In , reply to criticisms that the doctors J grievance committee could not get the ear of the board, Mr. Rupe aald that all' their complaints had been given consideration, and promised that In the future all matters which the doctors wish to bring to the board for action would be promptly attended to. Edward Warfel, a member of the committee Investigating the hospital, stated that the committee did not think the patronage of the railroads JnettOed the lose of forty-eight oenta ' per day on each railroad patient at the hospital. Dr. Johnson arose and said: .'This board la absolutely dominated by the superintendent. The hospital la absolutely under her control. Her system keeps the nurses here three years, and then they are turned out to charge fS5 per week for their services which " it too' much for the poor to pay." ' . Mr. Warfel then asked if Mr. Rupe had heard of the recent episode at the hoapitai which resulted in three alrls . leaving the institution, on of them signing a statement to the effect that she had -been discharged. Mr. Rupe answered lie had heard of the matter, but added: "The auperintendent haa no authority to discharge anyone." Dr. Stevenson then arose and put (the question ' plainly ' to Mr. Rupe, "'Why are the doctors not good enough Ho serve on the hoard?" Mr. Rupe failed to answer. Dr. Stevenson again arose and call- , md out loudly for Mr. Rupe to answer his question. At this juncture, Charles Marlatt, a member of the board who bad listened to the doctors thump Mr. Rupe roundly all through the evening arose, and said, "The doctors of this county hare sever done anything yet for the good of this city." Mr. Rupe then said he wished the

Institution was In a way to employ, a doctor as a auperintendent, but he waa interrupted by cries of "We don't want the position, we want representation.' ; . He then answered the' principal question which had been asked In a hundred different waya daring the evening, why the doctors could not get on the board, by saying the board did not think It would be good policy. After a short discussion by council members, the matter waa settled definitely by Evana moving the sending of the report to the trustees of the hospital with the recommendation that it be adopted in its entirety. King seconded the motion, and council voted unanimously in favor of it.

WHAT THE FARM OFFERS TO YOUNG MEII

BASEBALL NOTES. The Atlanta club has signed Pitcher Martin Walsh, brother of "Big Ed" Walsh, of the Chicago White Sox.

Edmund Lamy, the Caranac Lake skating marvel, is' also a ball player. He has signed with the Mansfield team of the Ohio State league. Washington and Lee leads the college baseball teams in the number of games scheduled for the soming season with a list if thirty-three contests. President Comiskey has promised the-White Sox crew a training trip to California in the spring of 1915, the year of the Panama Exposition. The signing of Harry Steinfeldt by Roger Bresnahan means that Harry and Mike Mowrey will fight it out for the third base job with the Cardi

nals. The genuine big show of the prelimi- j

nary season comes on March 30, when the New York Americans will open the new National league park in Cincinnati. Manager McGraw has put the Kibosh on poker games for big stakes among the Giants, and placed the limit at 25 cents. Failure to observe this rule will mean $100 fine. Now that Rock Island is out of the Three-I league, a new league is being talked of to be composed of Rock Island, Waterloo. Iowa City, Clinton, Cedar Rapids and Freeport. The Boston Nationals landed in Augusta, Ga., twenty-three strong after making the trip from New York in twenty-three hours. A double dose of "jinks." Good night! A Philadelphia scribe says that Pitcher Salmon, of the Athletics has more smoke than Vesuvius on a blow-out. Sounds kind of fishy, but perhaps the scribe Intended it for a cod. Empire Tommy Connolly, of the American league,' has been elected a member of the Citizens' party committee at Natick, Mass. Everybody is doing it now. Even umpires are throwing their hats in the ring.

'' BY ISAAC L. TOTTEN. Two high school graduates stood on the street talking of the lines of study they were thinking of taking up at college. "I believe that I shall take a course in agriculture," said one. "I am debating with myself whether to take np mechanical or electrical engineering," the other remarked. The writer, a bystander,, pretending 'to be interested in the whistle of a peanut roaster on the opposite side of the street, listened to the conversation of the two young men. The remark of the young man regarding the agricultural work at college caught our attention and held It; we became quite anxious to hear him express his views on the opportunities he saw in store for the man with a scientific agricultural education. A few years ago it would have seemed quite strange to hear a high school graduate talking of taking up a course in agriculture; but the possibilities in that line today for the man with brains are, in many ways, so much greater and the work so much more enjoyable than in most any other field of effort, that is commanding the attention of many. "What do you expect to do after you complete your agricultural course?" asked the undecided one. ".From all indications," was the reply, "I believe there is a field opening up for competent farm managers, that is, for men who are in a position to handle a farm corporation on the same basis that other successful business enterprises are now being handled. The tendency of today is along the lines of co-operation; you cannot pick up a farm paper that does not have something to say about how farm corporations are springing into exis-t-ence all over the country. "These corporations must have managers, and there is a very limited field from which to draw them. The employment bureau at Purdue announces that it is unable to fill the calls for men to fill positions requiring scientific agricultural training. "The agricultural work is just as dignified as law, or medicine, or mechanical or electrical engineering, or any other work; it is no harder than other kinds of work, yet it requires just as great knowledge . of business as any of them, and it is the most healthful occupation that one can follow." It sounded good to hear a young man just out of high school talking so sensibly. It showed that he was wide awake to the possibilities on the farm for the young man of intelligence; it

showed that he was a keen observer of the trend of affairs. Hia statement that there was a field opening up for the man with a scientific agricultural education, is becoming more evident every day. "Do you think that the salary will be aa high in agricultural positions as In the other lines of work? the undecided one asked. "I can't see why the salary should not be just as large as in any other occupation requiring a comparative amount of training and executive ability," was the reply. "If I were to take up the agricultural work," remarked the undecided one, "I would figure on coming back home and taking charge of dad's farm; but he would ridicule everything that I would want to do, and call it all foolishness. He thinks that the greater portion of the modern farm ideas is rot, and that they are just a bunch of whims emanating from the brains of some pin-headed cYanks; consequently, the best thing for me is a line of work where dad is not interested." They discussed the attitude of .many of the older generation toward modern ideas, and then switched tb.e discussion to our poor street car service, the rabies, presidential possibilities, basketball and high school frats. These subjects did not interest us as much as the one regarding agriculture and we moved on down the street where we bumped up against a member of the high school faculty. "Just the person we're looking for," we exclaimed, reaching for the instructor's hand which was not reachable owing to his aversion to such an unsanitary practice as hand-shaking. ' "What is the reason you don't include something about agriculture in the high school , curriculum?" we asked, using that last word advisedly. "There is only one good reason, perhaps two," was the reply, "there has not been a sufficient demand for it, although it is becoming more and more evident each day that there soon will be. We have had the subject up before the teachers and the board of education; but we do not feel that it would pay us to employ an. instructor for that branch solely, and it is not an easy matter to find instructors that can handle the agricultural work and some of the other branches too. "We all realize that there should be something of the kind taught in the high schools; because there are fortyeight state agricultural colleges scattered over the United States to which the national government gives $90,000

each annually! yet there are no secondary agricultural institutions below these colleges to lead up to them. "More of the secondary- school, no doubt, would include the agricultural subjects in the course of study if It were possible .to get competent instructors In those branches. There are excellent opportunities ahead for the young man who fits himself for this work." "Do you believe that if the agricultural subjects were taught In the secondary schools that there would be more high school graduates who would take up the agricultural course at college?" we asked. "I surely do," was the emphatic reply. The value of a scientific agricultural education for the man who wishes to follow the occupation of farming is being realized more every day by every one. Not-only its value to the individual, but its value to the nation as well. When the Page-Davis measure passes congress, a big step forward will be taken. This bill is, "to encourage education in agriculture, the trades, industries and home economics in the secondary schools; to aid in maintaining Instruction in these vocational subjects in state normal schools; in maintaining extension departments in state colleges of agriculture and mechanic arts." For the first two years after the measure passes, congress is to give $2,000,000 a year to provide for the

instruction of teachers. It is realiz-1 Viat tHta la ho ftrat otnn ttiit mn.t I

be taken in carrying out the project; because there are only a few teachers who know the subject. Therefore, for two years the government will provide for the preparation of teachers, in normal schools, agricultural colleges,' and the like. When time enough has elapsed to provide a "supply of teachers for the work the government will add $10,000,000 to the annual appropriation which will be apportioned to the states In the ration of their numbers engaged in agriculture. The state must provide the schools and put up dollar for dollar against the money received from the national government. Ten million dollars a year, of government money, will thus go to teach agriculture in agricultural high schools

and public schools, and trades, domestic economics, and so on. In the high schools of towns and cities. , Surely there is some interest being stirred up in the line of .agricultural education. and the young man who wishes to get into an occupation where big things are going to be done in the future, will do well to consider a scientific agricultural training.
