Mr. Gallinger also submitted a memorial adopted by the Medical Society of the Dis- trict of Columbla at a meeting held April 22, opposing the pending bill. The me- morial 1s of come length, setting forth four propositions: First, it is asserted that without vivisection experiments there could be no sclentific biology, and medicine would have no scientific basis; secondly, there has been no evidence adduced that cruel and unnecessary experiments are being per- formed jn the District; thirdly, it is not believed that physiclans and others en- gaged in investigations having for their cbject the promotion of human knowledge and the preveition or instigation of human suffering, are less humane than the mem- bers of the sccieties for the prevention of cruelty to animals; and, fourthly, the so- clety finds it difficult to understand why these ‘mischievous attempts” should be made to secure legislation, the effect of which would be to restrict sctentifie inves- tigation, wher. there is such a broad tield in other directions in which the crusade might be carried on with greater pro- priety. Mr. Chandler's Inquiry. Senator Chandler, who is understood to favor the enactment of a law prohibiting vivisection, asked his colleague if the Dis- trict committee Is going to do anything about the matter. Mr. Gallinger replied that the committee would probably soon report favorably a bill regulating the practice of vivisection somewhat in the manner outlined in the pending bill. ——_—__+ e+ ____.

Latin, Greek, German, French, mathematics, chemistry and physics are among the studies pursued at three of the four High Schools of the city, the other pre- paring particularly for business life. Most of the pupils will end their careers as stu- dents at the High School upon graduation, but there are many who intend to move on- ward and upward, in order to fit themselves for special objects in life. Numbered among the senior class of the Washington High School, who will graduate in June, are boys and girlz with records of brilliant students, and who are destined to make their mark in life. : The Central, which may be termed the pioneer of the High Schools of Washington, has the most prominent individual among the boys, Julius G. Sommer, the colonel of the regiment of High School Cadets. In or- der to attain the proud position at the head of the well-knowp military body, it was necessary for Mr. Sommer to lead his class in scholarship, which is saying quite a good deal when the size of the class is taken into consideration. He is well built, is an excellent officer, and is held in high esteem by the faculty of the school and the officers and cadets under him. Col. Sommer is a Washington boy. When a tiny lad he began his school career in the first grade, and passed steadily up the ladder, finishing in the eighth grade taught by Mr. J. J. Chickering. He was but four- teen years of age when he knocked for ad- mission at the High School door. During the first year at the High School he was a private in company C, the following year moved up to a corporalcy in company B, next was captain of company C, and since last October has worn the silver eagle in his shoulder strap—the insignia of colonel. When not in command of the regiment, Col. Sommer visits the other High Schools in the capacity of a military instructor. Col. Sommer has followed the academic course at the High School, which includes Latin and Greek. A number of years ago he visited Germany, and is very anxious to return to the fatherland for the purpose of completing his education. He may, how- ever, attend college in this country, having a brother, also a High School boy, now at Cornell. The nature of his future career has not been decided as yet, although Col. Sommer has a strong leaning toward art illustrating. Some Bright Girl Among the scores of bright girls in the graduating class of the Central Higa School, Miss Blizabeth Mary Perkins is conceded to be the leader, one of her teach- ers describing her as unusually and re- markably brilliant, standing at the head of her class in every study she is pursuing. Miss Perkins was born in Batavia, Ohio, but has received her education in the pub- N. E. Cor. 7th & I Sts. : Ent lic schools of Washington. She entercd the High Bchool when but thirteen yea of age, and intends to go to Bryn Mav College in order to make a sp Greek, with eupplementary linguistic mathematical training. She hopes in the future to devote her time to the languar Miss Edna L. Stone is another bright girl from the Cen lege. She was born at Lincoin, Va., tering school at that place when ten of age. Two years later her p moved to Washington, and Miss gan her public school career in the grade. She passed successively the eighth grade and the four years of the High School, being not quite fourteen ye of age when she began the higher cour. of instruction. Miss Stone expects to he graduated with the class of "6, and will probably go to Swarthmore College, though it is her desire to first spend a year at Co- lumbian. At college she wishes to acqul a general education and to study especially biology, chemistry and elocution. She has some thoughts of being a teacher later on in life. Smith College is the destination of Mi Frances Warren, a young lady who ranks high in scholarship at Central. At four years of age Miss Warren began he school career in a kindergarten at Che: enne, Wyo. A few years thereafter she en- tered the public schools of that city. She did not become identified with the High School here until last September, when she entered the fourth year. In addition to the regular academic course, Miss Warren has been studying French. The Academic Course. tral who is going to col- en- Quite varied has been the school career of Miss Lucy G. Lynch, who is going to Columbian University from the Central. Miss Lynch was born at Eastport, Me., and when five years of age entered a kin- dergarten in Philadelphia. Two years later she began work in the public schools in Walnut Hills, Cincinnatl. Afterward she attended school in Washington and Ta cony, Pa., and Trenton, N. J., and this city. She has taken the a: at the High School, including Greek. Another young lady who expects to go to Bryn Mawr, though probably not i the coming year, is Miss Jessie one of the star scholars at the Centr: wishes to specialize in Latin and Greck. Miss Ruby L. Woolverton is also classed as a bright luminary.of ‘0. She is a south- ern girl, and has made an enviable record since entering the High School, two y ago, especially in chemistry. Weldon Wasserbach, who is wel a student, and also for her Hterary work, is a member of the graduating class who expects to go to Wellesley. It is a significant fact that all the young ladies of the Central who expect to go to college have taken the academic cour: At the Eastern High School, In the small class to graduate from the Eastern High School there is no question that the leader among the boys ts J. Theo- dore Graff, the major of the second battal- fon of the High School Cadets. He ts also the only member of the class who has de- cided upos a college course. Major Graff began his scholastic career when but scven years of age in a small rivate school of this city. and two years Inter attended Kuerschner’a Academy on G street, and continued studying there for five years. Next ke entered the eighth grade at the Gales School, and was pro- moted to the High School, being one of a class of seven transferred from the Gales. He was a member of the first class to oc- cupy the new building which took the place of the ola Capitol Hill High School. In- tending to later devote his time to techni- eal studies, Major Graff chose the scientific course, which he has since followed, pay- Ing particular attention to mathematics and the sciences. He entered the regiment, and the first year served as a private in company G, the winner of the High School championship that year. The following fall he received the first appointment of his class, a corporaley in company F, and the next year was commissioned first Heuten- ant in the same coripany.
