Pritchett on Medical Schools.
If the lowest terms upon which a medi
cal school can exist abroad were applied
to America, three-fourths of our ex! stl na
med leal schools would be closed at once.
This., sweeping condemnation by
Dr. Pritchett of the Carnegie Foun
dation for the advancement of
Teaching is startling in its signifi
cance. He goes on to refer to Amer
ican schools . as "so-called medical
colleges," that perpetrate an "edu
cational farce," and "pretend ' to
train doctors," in which "scandals
in education exist." And he says,
doubtless not without deliberation,
that if three-fourths of these schools
were closed, "the remaining fourth
would be easily and entirely ade
quate to our need." . '
Dr. Pritchett denounces ' the hit-and-miss
preparation with which a
student may enter medical college
in this country. It is a short-cut
proposition, behind, before and over
which, he does not hesitate to de
clare, is a purely commercial In
stinct: ' What are we coming to if
men are conducting so-called schools
of medicine and other men are
patronizing them essentially for
money's sake? It it not necessary
to- think of medicine as a philan
thropy to discern the evil, yes, dan
gerous, tendencies of this amazing
condition. ! . i i :
By some ' means . or - other . those
schools, condemned as Inadequately
equipped for teaching medicine,
should be put out of business and
those young men inadequately
equipped for studying medicine
should be put to the plow, or the
plane, or to some other honorable
calling for which they are qualified
to prepare. It is a shame to go on
manufacturing half-baked . doctors
for mercenary purposes and subject
humanity to the consequences.'

Senatorial courtesy is not dead. If
you are too cynical .to believe, that,
read that fine -old compendium of
intellectual pabulum,' the Congres
sional Record4, and ' see for ' yourself
that the amenities that marked the
good old days still 'obtain between
gentlemen in the upper branch of
congress. We extract these few lines
literally from a recent copy of the

WHAT I WANT TO DO FOR OMAHA
By Charles N. Withnell, Commissioner in Charge of Public
Improvements.
My determination now, as It has been
for nine years, is to get a better grade
of buildings for Omaha, uniformly so.
We need a new city ordinance that would
reclassify our buildings and keep out of
the downtown districts any suggestion
of cheap, inflammable structure. This is
something to which Omaha has got to
come and the sooner the better. '
I like the Denver ordinance or the Min
neapolis ordinance and would be glad to
see one patterned after either, put 1 in
operation In Omaha. No man or officer
can secure the proper results without
vested authority.
We should have greater latitude in
the matter of demolishing old structures.
Just as much as In the matter of com
pelling the erecting of better ones. For
nine years as building Inspector I went
ahead and forced the demolition of un
safe buildings, but if I had been "called"
strong enough, as I was at times, the
law was not there to give me the power
which a building Inspector should have. I
acted in the best interests of the city
and taxpayers, but our laws were and are
still Inadequate on this point Thts thing
of tearing down shacks and putting up
fire-proof buildings is one of the prime
essentials in the building of any modern
city. I cannot appeal too strongly to the
people of Omaha In behalf of this ad
vance.' . ,v . - ' ; t
. I desire to sea the horse-drawn fire
vehicle superseded especially in the
downtown districts, by the motor. We
must have this done very soon. It is
in line with safety and eponomy. :
I would have better and more fire en
gine bouses. Some of our present build
ings, the new ones, are, of course, ex
cellent and as far as they go answer
every purpose, but ws haven't enough of
THE PATHWAYS OF EMPIRE .
Good Roads Are the Arteries that 6arry Life Blood of a Nation.
BT GA BRETT
On of the greatest projects for the
advancement of the power, wealth and
civilisation of America Is the plan ot a
transcontinental highway, running unin
terrupted from the Atlantic to the Pa-elflc-a
highway
J.iCO miles long, on
which.,, one may
start from 1 New
Tork In his motor
car, or If . he'
chooses, in .. his
buggy, and, rapidly
or leisurely, as he
n;ay prefer, go all
the way to San
Francisco, travel
ing continually on
a hard, smooth,
perfectly kept road,,
whether the way
J
lies through the Appalachian hills or the
plains of the middle-west or the snow
topped peaks of the Rockies.
Forty-three years ago the engines met
In Utah, "half a world behind each
back," as Bret Harte put It, at the
Junction point of the first transcon-'
tlnental railway ever constructed any
where on this planet It was character
istic' of ' American enterprise, which
seises the newest and the swiftest things
first,- that the railway should precede
the Ughway In surmounting the crest
of -the comment , ;
And now the highway, whose advance
Is an expression of the settled purpose of
growing people, is following the lead of
the roa of Iron. A few weeks ago, as
you may have read In the June number
of Motor Magasnne, there was organized
t Kansas City the National Old Trails
Road association, whose a)m is the leali
(atlon, at the earliest possible moment,
of the project, outlined above. The fact
must be recognised that this project has
grown out of the wonderful dveU-FMient
of the motor oar. which has done more
than any other Influence for the improve
ment of the roads, ot this country. Per-.
haps before many years have elapsed it
will be possible to make the trip com
fortably between New Tork and San
Francisco In an ordinary touring car,
within the space of a week. .
The name "Old Trails" awakens recol
lections of seme of the most romantio
scenes in the history of the great west
The Cumberland Pike, Braddook's Road,
Boone's tick Road, the Bant Fe Trail,
Kearney's Road whose imagination is
not stirred at the mention of those names
by recollection of the adventures and
perils of the early pioneers, who braved
the hardships of the wilderness and ths
dangers of, Indian attacks, to spread
American enterprise over the marvelous
west, with no stop this side of the Pa
cific shores? To follow, on a magnifi
cent highway, borne In a swift, smoothly
running car, the weary trail of ths
"Argonauts of Forty-nine." lured by the
golden Sands of Callfornla-what could
be more romantically Interesting?
But this transcontinental highway has
better claims than mere romantic or
seenio Interest upon the people ot .tlits
great nation. Wa have always led the
world In railway construction, but we
rve hitherto been behind in road mak

the people of Omaha the Importance on
their part of studying, the conditions,
reeds and methods of their city and city
government. Of course, tt Is important
to keep ah ever watchful eye on the
public official, and for my part I am
willing to be watched, but If the public
official can feel as sure of the sym
pathetic and Interested co-operation ot
the taxpayer as he can of his adverse
criticism, It wilt help matters all around
and we shall realize on our compalgn
for a "bigger and better Omaha." '
P. SERVIS8.
ing. Only 7 Per "cent of our American
roads are Improved, l. e.,' built upon
scientific principles and kept in repair.
While In Europe, which 'has. all told, leas
than half as many miles of road as the
United States, practically all the roads
are Improved. There are historic reasons
for this, but these reasons have ceased
to apply, and now, at last, the tables are
beginning to turn, for' we are spending
more money annually oh road improve
ment than France, Germany and Eng
land combined. But we must spend more
yet and we are rich enough to do It ''
The narrow-minded Idea once enter
tained by some persons that the maklna
of Improved roads Is simply a benefit
ror the fortunate owners of automobiles,
is fast giving way to a more enlightened
view. as farmers begin to realize the fact
that the good roada help them even more
than they help the motorists. In truth,
the thing is top plain to require argu
ment. The argument is settled the mo
ment the driver of a heavily fadan farm
wagon turns hs wearied horses out of
the mud and ruts of a back-country road
and emerges upon the hard smooth sur
face of an Improved roadway. The per
spiring animals themselves prick up
their ears, and ' with a sigh of relief,
starf' off at a brisker pacer A single
Improved highway running through a
township brightens everything about it
Its ' effects are sometimes almost mar
velous, Tards are cleaned up, farm
roads are improved, houses are newly
painted, the people set to work to make
all their surroundings better and the
farmer finds that more money comes into
his pockets. He can get his produce to
market quicker, at less cost and in bet
ter condition.;
The stimulus that, would be afforded
by a great transcontinental highway
would be incalculable. It would give
rise to improved roads on all sides.
They would branch out from the main
artery m every dlreotlon, To say noth.
Ing of the practical advantages, mere
shame would soon banish all the mud
hols roads in the country traversed by
the great highway. To understand what
enthusiasm the causa of good roads is
capable ot awakening, read the accounts
In Motor; of the celebration of "Good
Roads day" In the statu of Washing
ton and Colorado. The people turned
out for a new kind of holiday- holi
day of work. ; Whole brigades of ol
unteers set, to work with picks and
shovels and teams and road-making ap
paratus,, and they had one of the most
enjoyable time of their live. And why
should they not? There is nothing so
delightful, and nothing so healthful as
work when the workers are Interested
In what they are doing. AH" work and
no play may make Jack a dull boy, but
all play and no work makes him a duller
boy, even on a holiday. ,
