will eventually make of the dentist what he should logically be-a stomatologist in a truly comprehensive sense. In the pres- ent issue of Chips appears an article by a Senior Class member. It is written upon oral hygiene and indicates a conscious desire to establish the useful facts or fruits of stomatological experience into a closer relationship to human welfare. It is this phase of our development as medical people that we would emphasize. Sciences, like laws, produce no effect unless enforced. Let us both develop and enforce dental science, or better, let us say stomatological science. Let us see to it that it realizes its immense possibilities. It is not well to be too concerned with the commercial possibilities of dentistry. Those possibilities must be considered. but they are not all. And yet there are some who think of them only. Let us all pull together for the greater stomatology. EDITOR-IN-CHU-:1f. PHARMACY EDITORIAL URING the last decade much advancement has been made 4 in the art of Pharmacy and the sciences allied to it. There has also been a corresponding advance in the require- ments and skill demanded of the present pharmacist. Em- ployers no longer wish to run the risk of employing inexper- ienced youths to train, who have not had the preparatory foun- dation and knowledge which will enable them to give satisfactory service to their employer and the public. This necessary knowledge and skill can only be acquired by a thorough course in Pharmacy and its dependent sciences, obtained in a college for that purpose, and which is accredited by the State Board of Pharmacy. The Department of Pharmacy of the Ihysicians anc -ur- geons' College, conducted by the able Professors Flint, DuBois, Southard and their colleagues gives its students such a course of instruction. The College has not sought to secure the greatest number of students, but to do the greatest amount of good and to main- tain its record of having the highest percentage of graduates of any' college in this State to pass the State Iloard of Pharmacy. 3 ' l S JOHN A.

After years of student life and application, the student receives his diploma from his Alma Mater. A complete change should take place in his dress. He should adopt a Prince Albert or cutaway coat, silk or derby hat, white and starched linen, and neat black shoes. A laxity in dress tends to create a similar condi- tion as regards manners, condition of office, and to all services rendered. It is very apt to develop lounging, careless habits. Extremes in matters of dress, as in everything else, are to be avoided. VVe should not sac- rifice equally important duties to excel in thisf by such a course more may be lost than gained. The desirable end is to present a tasteful and creditable appearance, without a useless waste of time and material. A We should dress according to the position we oc- cupy and in harmony with the surroundings in which We may be placed. Young men should be well dressed, not foppishly, but neatly, and never beyond their means. Do not spend all your earnings as fast as received, for accident or illness might make you an object of charity. A gentleman's apparel should be neat, his linen clean and his boots well blacked. I-Ie should wear only 'such jewelry as is useful. EDITOR-IN-CHIEF. E regard an editor as being a servant, rather than a moral or ethical advisor of his constituency. His work should consist, therefore, in doing as he is instructed, and not in instructing others. Comment, however, is allowable. Accordingly, it is in the spirit and light of comment that the edi- torial remarks of the Chips dental department are to be inter- preted. As in all phases of human development, there is in dental science a satisfied and a dissatisfied element. .Both are necessary in their way. The one acts as a check upon the other by prevent- ing the general application of newly discovered principles until they have been tried in the medical court of appeals-the clinic. Yet it is the last named of the two which is responsible for all discovery, saving the purely accidental, and which, in dental science as in others, is continually reaching out for that broader grasp of cause' and effectg that wider range of principle, which 22

AN APPRECIATION OMB very commendable additions to the working and teaching facilities of the college have been made by the dental faculty during the year. Among these are the ap- paratus for nitrous oxid and oxygen anesthesia, the new motor in the Freshman laboratory, and the lantern demonstra- tions of slides illustrative of dental embryology and histology. The latter have been conducted by Dr. Smith, and he is to be commended for his efforts and his modern view of how to im- part knowledge. l'Il1I.Il' S. H.xl.1av, Dental Editor.
