THE BEMIDJI VOLUME 11, NO. 205. “MEDIC” COURSE COSTS MOST ATV Examiner Gives Comparative Expend- itures In Diferent Colleges of State Institution at Minneapolis, GRADUATE IS THE CHEAPEST With $3431 Annual Average It Is Much Less Than Any of Others— Dentistry and Law Come Next. It costs the state far more to edu- cate a student in the medical school of the university than it does for a student in any other university col- lege or department, according to the report of the public examiner on uni- versity ac(fountlng for last year. ‘This report, is a statement of the net per capita cost for the different schools and colleges, places the medi- cal school average per student for one year as $762,51. This is more than three times per capita cost stated for the engineerng college, more than four times the per capita cost in the academic college, more than five times the student average in the law school and more than seven times the average in ‘the dentistry college. Explained by Comptroller. George H. Hayes, university comp- troller, was asked to explain the fig- ures. Was it true that the univer- sity could train five lawyers for the money spent in turning out one physician and still have enough left over to take care of two students in the graduate school? Could it turn out two scientific farmers from the college of agriculture for the cost of one physician and have enough left, lacking 4 cents, to carry a teacher through a year of the college of edu- cation? Mr. Hayes explained. He said that the examiner’s figures were mislead- ing and fell far short of revealing the real situaton. “The various colleges of the university,” he said, “are too closely corraled that any attempt to arrive at a per capita student cost to the institution by ndividual col- leges must be a vain one. The only enlightening average in this connec- tion would be the per capita for the whole student enrollment, independ- ent of college affiliaton. We have been trying for some time to reducet the system of cost accounting so as to ‘deal with the student as a unit in- stead of the college, and when we get this worked out we should have some- thing worth while. Medical Cost Misleading. “To say that the medical school per capita cost is $762.51 is wholly mis- leading. As a matter of fact, the an- atomy department of the medical school teaches physiology and anato- my to hundreds of students enrolled in other colleges. Yet the apportion- ment per capita, as made by the ex- aminer, is on the basis of the actual enrollment in the medical school pro- per. The dentistry college is given a per capita o fonly $98.45. Much of the early work of this college is done in the medical school. “The per capita of the school of chemistry is given at $377.88. Now this school enrolls only few hundred students in the school proper, but teaches general chemistry to all the students in the academic college and to students enrolled in other colleges, such as engineering, mines, agricul- ture, ete. Yet the school of chemstry as an entity is charged by the exam- iner with the cost of all this instruc- tion, whereas a due share belongs to the different colleges profiting by its activities. In other words, the ex- aminer’s per capita schedule fails to reveal the true condition of average expenditures per student.” “The examiner’s statement of per capita student cost for the year ended July 31, 1913, by school of colleges, was as follows: Costs in Different Colleges. Medical .. ..$762.51 Forestry .. 41138 Chemistry . 377.88 Mines ... 318.15 Agriculture . 302.58 Engineering 205.60 Academic .. 166.37 Education . 157.39 Pharmacy 143.59 Law .. 138.93 Dentistry Graduate MEMORH-\L TO DE LESSEPS Proposed Statue Be Erected in Pana- ma Canal Zone.

The president expressed his grati- lude and introduced Mayor Saucier to the members of his varty. MARRIED TO SCORE, DETECTIVE CHARGES Minister Watched Since May, Governmant Agent Says.

Other supposed wives of Dahlstrom discovered by the government in- clude: Bertha Footmyer of Denver, who is said to have been deserted after three months.

NO SET PUNISHMENT GIVEN NOW Absence Ciéates Giave Situation Tn Dealng VQM Anti}Trust Statutes Opinion; of Highest Tribunal Washington, Dec. 26.—More clearly defined rules for competition in busi- ness are td be promulgated by ‘the supreme court. ‘Within the last fey weeks the court has directed lower tribunals to send up cases involving alleged unfair com- petition for" decision, which are ex- pected to 'be second 1n importance only to the court’u anti-trust de- cisions. The law as to patents and trade marks has been regarded as compara- tively settled, but few' cases involv- ing the domain of (‘unfair competi- tion”. in business hgve come' before the court. The gravity of the: absence of defl- nite rules in that sphere was brought out in bold relief before the supreme court recent]y when a St. Louis shoe firm complained that its entire profit from the manufacture and sale of a certain line of shoes’ for four years was about to be turned over to a Cin- cinnati rival. The sum amounted almost to half 2 million, dollars. i Differ Over: Pdnishment. The St. Louis firm ‘has been guilty, according to the lower courts, of put. ting out a shoe with a name re- sembling that of a competitor’s shoe. That was alleged to be unfair. For the purpose of argument the St. Louis-firm admitted the unfairness of the transaction, but contended that the amount of its punishment should be only the amount of business that its rival failed to get 'hy reason of its act. The lower court held that was not a proper rule for meting out the prop- er punishment, but thatthe. erring company’s -entire profits must be taken away. The supreme court de- cided to review the case. Many business concerns are said to be anxious over the gutcome of the litigation. Carelessness in adopting trade marks is said to, threaten them with the loss of all profits for many years.

P, Wlnfn Presented With “Purse Containing $100 By Members of His Congregation. e Court Ex-| HAS 'BEEN HERE NINE YEARS It is not probable that a single man, woman or child d,t Bemdjl was made more happy by the arrival of' Christ- mas than Rev. 8. E. P. White, pastor of the Presbyterian church, who was yesterday presented with a purse of $100 by the members of his congrega- tion. The purse was made up from near- ly every person of the church, each member being alloted to contribute only a small portion. Rev. White has been pastor of the Presbyterian church here for mnine years. During that time nearly $1,- 000 in debts have been paid and im-| provements to the amount of approxi mately $2,000 made. “Never in my life have I appreci- ated anything so much, nor have I felt more honored,” said Rev. White, “why they completely filled the house with tokens and the purse shows me that my efforts are appreciated.” Perhaps no pastor in the state is more well thought of or respected than is Rev. White. He is the friend and favorite of every child, and every time he occupies the pulpit the church is well filled. CROOKSTON CANCELS GAME. Polk * County Quint Weskened By Absence of Players.

The film was shown twice yesterday, ‘during the after- noon matinee and in the evening, both times being to crowded houses. “His Neighbor’s Wife” is a good picture, and the appearance of Lillian Langtry only makes it all the more attractive to theatre goers of the city. Christmas Rush Is Over. “Seems like a graveyard around here this morning,” said T\ E. Lloyd, agent for the Great Northern Ex- press company of this city. After the Christmas rush the number of pack- ages has decrcased to such ac ex- tent that all were rapidly disposed of this morning in a few hours.

Bemidji’s postoffice received a Christmas present from the govern- ment in the form of a new flag which is now ‘decorating the flag staff over the building.

GLYNN AND WHITMAN. Governor. and District = Attor- ney of New York in Quarrel. © 1813, by American Press Association. Governor Glynn has denied the re- quest that District Attorney Whitman be designated as deputy attorney gen- eral. In doing so the governor gave out a long prepared statement, which in part follows: «“I 'will not appoint Mr. Whitman a special deputy attorney general to roam the state with blanket powers, because I cannot. The law gives me no such power of appointment, and Mr., Whitman, good lawyer that he is, must know this. Even if I had the power I would not grant Mr. Whit- man’s request for the reason that, while I have admired Mr. Whitman’s ability, his energy and his push, I am unwilling to assume that every other district attorney in the state is in- competent or untrustworthy.” Above is Governor Glynn and below Mr. ‘Whitman.

CHURCHES - HOLD FESTIVITIES Little Tots Given Candy, Presents and Pop Corn Balls By Santa Claus At Trees—Army Program Tonight. Merchants’ of Bemidji say that the unusual weather conditions for: this time of the year have not dampered the holiday trade in the least and many of them claim that their sales have increased over years of the past. It has been noted that many of the Bemidji shoppers of the past two weeks have been from out of town, some coming from as far north as Big Falls. Many of these took ad- vantage of the fare refund which was offered by the merchants of the city. The Weather. The old weather man did his best to whiten the ground with snow for Christmas, but his efforts were in vain and only a very small quantity was provided. The cold weather of the past week seemed to instil an ad- ded amount of holiday spirit, how- ever, which more than made up for thg lack of downy white. The Christmas - Programs. Four of the churches held their pro- grams and had their Santa Claus and trees either- Wednesday evening or last night. The Presbyterian, Bap- tist and Metliodist houses of worship entertained the little tots, (and many grown-ups also) Christmas eve, while the Episcopalians had their program Ist evening: At each of the programs boxes of candy, oranges, apples, pop corn balls and remembrances were presented to those present and programs of recita- tions and songs were given. Army To Have Tree. This evening in the city hall the Salvation Army will give a Christ- mas tree program for the poor of the city, and every child is invited to be present. 3 Jf.a single child in-the city was neglected on Christmas day it was not the fault of the Associated Charities, the Salvation Army or any of the churches. The members of the As- sociated Charities have worked hard during the past week at the Salvation Army barracks preparing Christmas boxes and packages for the poor, and several owners of automobiles grant- ed their use free of charge in dis- tributing. CLERKS ~ COMPLIMENTED Employes of Postoftice Given Much Praise Because of Manner in Which Christmas Mail Was Disposed of. WORKED ALL DAY Employes of the Bemidjl postoffice are today being complimented on the manner in which they haye taken care of the holiday rush, During the past week every member of the force has been at work early in the morning and have remained at their task until late in the evening. Their chief ef- fort has been to have every Christ- mas article delivered in time, and in this they were successful. Every morning previous to Christ- mas the mails would bring hundreds of new packages into the office, and as the added work was heaped upon the ‘overworked clerks they simply smiled and said they would be glad when it was all over. Not a person approached’the stamp, parcel post or registration window without being met with a hearty smile by the man behind the screen, Added help was secured for the last few days and even yesterday the clerks worked and many packages were delivered in order that none might be disappointed. Postmaster Hrickson and Assistant Postmaster Worth, assisted by Ed Gould, George Elletson, Samuel Cut- ter, Harry McClernan, J. S. Cobb and other members of the force have done all in their power to give the resi- dents of the city a good holiday serv- ice and in their attempt they were successful.” The mail carriers more than held up their end of the work, as did. the rural mailmen. All previous records at the postof- fice were broken. THURSDAY. W. 8, Chapman Back. W. . Chapman, formerly proprietor of the blacksmith shop now owned by | his nterests here 2 o
