ITS FIRST PRACTICAL TEST Examination of Graduates Under the Medi- cal Practice Law. Work of the Board of Supervisors of the Examiners—The Method Employed. The first practical test of the new law regulating the practice of -nedicine in the District of Columbia has been given, and the unanimous verdict is that the law is in every way a success. While several licenses have been granted before upon examinations, it requires the more severe test of an examination of rew graduates before those who doubted the efficacy of the law would give It their ap- proval. Several weeks ago, shortly after the graduates of the several medical schools had received their diplomas, the board of medical supervisors announced that exam- inations for registration and license would shortly be held. Each of the graduates was required, in accordance with law, to submit with his application the diploma received and the testimony of two reputable citizens of the District of Colum)ia us to his moral character. Upon receipt of this and a fee of $10 to pay the expenses of the examination the applications were investigated, and later the applicants notified to present for examination. Complete, but Fair. The examinations were conducted in the large hall at the Georgetown Law School, and while they were complete, and covered every branch of medicine, they were em- inently fair, and the examiners were con- gratulated upon the fairness of the test cf a doctor's quaiifications to practice medi- cine. The tests were by no means eésy They were practical, and, as an old pro- fessor remarked when he looked over the tions, doctor who could not arswer themselves © questions does not deserve to have a license. First came the written work. This cov- ered a period of three days. Before dis- cussing this examination a word as to the seleetion of the questions and the way they were prepared would not be ami: ‘There are three medical examining boards in the District. That of the regular school, con- sisting of Doctors Kleinschmidt, Cooke, Purvis, Ober and McLain; that of the ho- meopathic school, consisting of Doctors Custis. Stear King, Babbitt and Mac- Donald; and that of the eclectic school, composed of Doctors Robinson, Collins, Geddes, Julihn and Swett. The presidents of th s 1 boards, Doctors Klein- schmidt, Custis and Robinson, together with Messrs. J. J. Darlington and John Ridout, constitute the board of supervisors. jethods of the Board. When an examination is to be held the several medical examining boards meet and each member thereof submits a list of ques- tions of the subjects assigned to him. The questions from all the boards are then sub- mitted to the board of supervisors. Upon their receipt the board mixes them up with regard to subjects, and then selects ten questions in each neh. Such a plan will commend itself at once as being quite fair, and all questions of doubt as to any one obtaining a list of the questions in advance is put at rest, for no person other than the secretary knows the questiongwhich are to be asked until the very minute of the open- ing of the examination. ‘Take, as an illustration, the subject of surge In the regular school Dr. Purvis has this branch; in the homeopathic school Dr. MacDonald looks after it, and in the eclectic Dr. Geddes examines. “Each one of these gentlemen submits ten questions upon the subject of surgery. The thirty ques- tions are thoroughly mixed, and then ten are selected. In this way each school is almost ceriain to be represented in the questions asked. Prepared and Sealed. When the questions are selected, they are given to Dr. Woodward, the secretary, and by him transcribed. Manifold copies are made. and a set of questions, once com- pieted, is securely sealed in an envelope bearing the name of the subject on the outside, and handed to the examiner the day of the examination in the presence of the applicants. And so it transpired, when the first day of the examination opened, Dr. Ober occupied the rostrum, geve out the questiows in anztomy, materia medica aid therapervics, and retained the papers. He was followed by Dr. Kieinschmidt, in his interesting branches of physiology and hygiene; then «ame Dr. McLain, with some pertinent questions on chemistry, toxicol- ogy and medical jurisprudence. Dr. Purvis followed with surgery, obstetrics, gynaecol- oxy and diseases of the eye and ear, and Dr. Cooke closed the written examinations With a practical examination on practice, pathology and bacteriology. At the close of » written examination each applicant was required to siga-a-p2per setting forth that he had not received any assistance during its progress. The Oral Test. Then followed the mest practical test of all, the oral examination. Two days were devoted to this, and each applicant in turn had a short conferenve with the examiners and demonstrated his knowledge of th healing art. A feature of the examinations Was the absence uf catch questions. The examiners were frank enough to admit that it was not their purpose to catch a man, but to convince themselves that his knowl- ine was sufficient to obtain him a license to practice the profes- Each examiner showed the kindest ration for the applicants. ‘All of them are professors, and know the of students. And so it was that when one hesitated over an answer, the examiner suggested the question in a different way and it was promptly answered. And it w: this knowledge that only professors hav which enabled them to bring out all that Was necessary. Tak an Mh he dificult branches of chem! + materia medica, Pp jology and anatomy. These brancac: were passed by the applicants two years ago, and were embraced in what is termed the primaries. Much of these had been forgotten. But Drs. Kleinscimidt, Ober and McLain, who examined in them, strip- red the subjects of technic J details and Presented such questions as demonstrated the applicant's knowledge of the subjects. The first day quieted all fears. The appli- cants realized the purpose of the examiners to be fair, and after the first trial was nse of genuine pleasure and con- janted that of doubt and fear. Marked and Known by Numbers. Each applicant was given a number, known only to himself and the sceretary. He signed his papers withethis number, and when the examiner looked them over he was ignorant of whose they were. The papers were accordingly marked by num- bers, and the result of this written ex- amination submitted to the secretary. After the oral examinations the marks made by the applicants were also trans- mitted and the two examinations summed up and the average marked. The board of medical examiners then reviewed the marks and transmitted them with its re- pert to the board of medical supervisors, who, in turn, directed the secretary to prepare licenses in accordance with the marks, and issue them to those who had attained the requisite percentage, which was 7. e This was done, and yesterday licenses were issued to the following physicians: George B. Corey, E. R. Beckley, H. A. Dunn, F. M. Hartsock, W. N. Suter, J. W. Crowe, J. H. Ford, J. §. Wall, J. E.’ Jones, William J. Olds, J. E. Maulding, W. C. Boteler, W. P. Mills, T. Haslup, J. 8.

Engineer Commissioner Black is not at all satisfied with the result of the investi- gation of the officers involved in the case of Carr, the ravisher of little Rosa Robin- son, whose escape was credited to the sleepy methods in vogue in the second pre- canct. When the report of the investigation was presented to him, Captain Black read it carefully through several times, and then added the following indorsement: “In reading this report I am struck by the fact that with the exception of Private 2 8 Hendricks and Hoagland, Gna possibly Ser- geant McTaggart and WUleutenant Boyle, bad management was display€d by every officer involved, and in generalsit is evident that this bad management is the direct re- sult of improper details of practices.

LONDON, August 3.—In the house of commons today Sir Hills Ashmead Bartlett, conservative, asked for information. re- garding the stage reached in the peace negotiations between Greece! and Turkey, whereupon the parliamentary secretary for the foreign office, Mr. Curzon, referred Sir Ellis to the statement on the subject made by the Marquis of Salisbury in the kouse of lords lus ning.

This cau: representative to reply th of his duty to explain ute Premier's speech. sir Ellis and other members of thi i ors e hous then vigcrously protested against being ve, ferred to statements made in another place, and asked the speaker whether there Was any precedent ior such a proceeding.

An Awakening Demand for Consump- tion and Tariff Changed Were the Caw The advance sheets of the monthly sum- mary of finance and commerce for the month of June, 1897, about to be issued by the bureau of statistics, show a heavy de- crease as to goods held in bonded ware- houses as compared with preceding years. The causes for unusual withdrawals have been mainly in anticipation of a change in the tariff and also an increasing demand for consumption. The val:e of goods re- maining in bond June 30 was $18,135,723. As compared with the same day of the preceding year, there is a decrease of $33,- 318,619. The lowest point to which goods in warehouse fell previously to the pres- ent was $31,430,533, In February, 189 and since July, 1893, the highest point to which the value of goods in warhouse has reach- ed was in July, 1896, $52,041,108, In antici- pation of the Wilson tariff act, the value of gecds in warehou: rose from $40,100,000, in April, 1894, to $51,292,000 in July of that year. Some Specific Articles. The value of goods under the head of chemicals, including coal tar, colors and dyes, dye woods, glycerine, opium prepared for smoking, sodas, &c., remaining in vond- ed warehouse June 30, 1896, was $571,450, and the value of such articles in bond June 30, 1897, was $830,225. The great increase in this list is in opium. June 0, 1896, there were in bond 10,728 pounds, of the value of $80,136, while on June 30, 1897, the amount had increased to 43,696 pounis, of the value of $308,113. There were heavy withdrawals of cotton manufactures in anticipatidn of tariff changes. On June 30, 1895, the value of cotton manufactures in bond was $1,- 262,308, as against $384,811 the same day of June this year. Tne heavy decrease in this schedule is found in cotton cloth bleached, dyed and colored, et the value of which was al- most $400,000 less on June 30, 1897, than on the same day of the preceding year. Of earthen, stone and china ware the decrease as compared with June 39, 1896, when the value was $525,018, amounted to $458,474 In the manufactures of hemp, flax and jute the decrase is heavy in the higher grades. The figures for June 30, 18%, as to tho: goods were $1,101,509, and fer June 30, 189; $207,314. The value of fish, cured or pre- s remains about the same as that given for June 30, 1896, a little over $200,000. The total value of fruits held in ware- hcuses June 30, 1896, was $230,206, and on June 1897, $40,113. The remarkable de- crease shown under this heading relates to plums and prunes, of which there were on June 30, 1896, in bonded warehou: 4, 802.824 pounds of the value of $17 while on June , 1897, there were but 2,015 pounds -in bond of the value of $208. There was a falling off of about 40 per cent in the holdings of currants, and the table shows only 38,669 pounds of dates against 345,365 pounds on the sare day of the preceding year. On June 30, 1896, there were 1,051,587 pounds of almonds in ware- houses as against 516,231 pounds for June 30, 1897; and the value of all fruits and nuts in bonded warehouse at the latter date is something less than one-third of that for June 30, 1896. Glass and Glassware. In glass and glassware there has been no marked decrease, execpt, perhaps, in relation to cylinder, crown and common window glass, unpolished, which has fallen from 3,000,212 pounds to 1,762,813 pounds for the date given. There has been an increase in the quantity of plate glass, however, for on June 30, 1895, the rumber of square feet of cast, polished and in- silvered plate gla: mounted to 39,972, and on June 30, 189 w2. On June 30, 1896, there were held 40,467 square feet of cast, polished and silvered plate glass, as against 83,687 square feet for June 30, 1897. There has been but a slight decrease as te manufactures of iron and steel, there having been on June 30, 1896, such manu- ctures in warehouses to the value of $1,054,043, while on June 30, 1897, the value amounted to $1 Some particular items under this head, however, skow 2 marked decrease, as, for instance, tin plates, terneplates and taggers tin, which aggregated June 3t 0G, 23,842.68) pounds of the value of $5 while on June 30, 1897, there were held 5,286,015 pounds of the value, $118,131. ‘There is a small increase as to bar iron rolled or hammered, and in- gots, blocms, slabs, billets, ete., of steel. In lead of all kin except manufactures thereof, there is a decrease from 11,632,456 pounds io 0.684,661 pounds.
