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.

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.
