Is visiting friends In Lincoln. They will leave Tuesday and before going back to Illinois Dr. Greene may go to Ofcieola and e former Governor Mickey. Dr. Greene Is now superintendent of an Illinois asylum located at Kankakee and lie expressed himself as being will pleased with, the place, though his heart still lln fr around Nebraska and Lincoln. "I secured from the legislature an ap propriation of $.10,000," said Dr. Greene, "with which to establish a laboratory In which to study diseases of the nrtnd. This laboratory la for the benefit of the entire state and Is the central workshop of all the Insane Institutions. All of the asylum physicians of the various Institutions took a course In this laboratory. Then Dr. Singer, who was formerly at Norfolk, visits each of the Institutions in turn and glvea lectures. lie remains at each about two weeks. All of the time we have two of the employes of an Institution at work In the laboratory for a short period. Then these two give way to others and thus each member of the medical staff secures the benefit of the training. "We give employment to a physician when lie comes to us with gilt-edged en dorsements, lie becomes an interne. Then by merit he Is promoted to a Junior assist ant physician, then senior assistant, and finally physician In charge. All employ ment Is solely on merit. "I notice that Dr. Young has recom mended the establishment ot a central lab oratory, and 1 hope the Nebraska legisla ture will follow that recommendation. It Is a good one. "Nebraska should not change the heads of Its asylums every time an administration changes. It Is bad for the wards of the state. The physicians should be selected and kept solely under the merit system." Barnes MoTea to Lincoln. Judge John B.
