COMMUNICATED, Advises New Britain Physicians Go to China, New Britain, Conn., January 12, 1916. To the Editor of the Herald: Dear Sir:—There seems to be quite a lot of comment over an editorial which appeared in your paper on Thursday, January 6, entitled: “The High Cost of Living,—and Dying” and if it would not be imposing on your time and inclination I would like to add a few words to the already wealth of material you have published on the subject. The idea is this: If the doctors in this town are not get- ting enough money for their services why in the name of all that is good don't they get out and go to China? 1 do not say this in a deriding spirit. On the contrary. I would like to call attention of the physicians of New Britain to the following information: Dr. John Welsh, the noted patholo- £ of Johns Hopkins University, in Baltimore, who is frequently referred to by members of his profession as “the foremost physician of the United has recently returned to this country after thoroughly investigating medical education in China. He has this to say on the subject: “Wherever the medical missionary has gone occidental methods in medi- cine have been introduced and the Chinese have adopted them. The Chinese methods are not scientific. They might be called empirical. They bave a great many drugs. Some of them are useful. ‘“The Chinese are more interested in surgery, though; than they are in medicine. ‘“‘Surgery is practically unknown in that country and it appeals to the Chinese more than does internal medi- cine. “It is more dramatic. But the foun- dation of the Chinese religious belief is ancestor worship, and medicine meets a very great handicap in the opposition to post mortems and such examinations. The work of over- coming that is a great one. The fleld which the country offers to young men who are willing to go there is very rich.” There is some good advice, and, I am glad to be able to present it to cur young doctors and physicians who Lelieve they are not getting enough of the wherewithal from their pa- to bper, and glass washer.

C., Jan. 14.— “Alexander the Great, like an erra- tic meteor, flashed across the drowse of civilization—weary Bgypt; and, perhaps as a memorial of his deifica- tion in the land of the Pharaohs, he left behind him the beginnings of a vigorous Greek city, Alexandria, des- tined to be the gateway fér a flow of Western rejuvenation to the worn valley, and today, with Constantino- ple and a few other places, one of the greatest prizes for the contesting army millions in the East,” begins a bulletin just prepared by the Nation- al Geographic society. ‘“Alexander built his city in 832 B. C., upon the ruins of an Egyptian town, Rhacotis. After more than 2,000 years, Alexan- dria has become the life of Egypt, its largest port, one of the busiest ports on the Mediterranean, and an 1Im - portant world-city. “The modern city is divided into two parts, one of which, inhabited by Mohammedans, is a listless tangle of Oriental narrow, crooked streets and uninviting butldings, while, the other, the European quarter, is solidly built and possesses many of the essential conveniences of the American or Suropean metropolis. It occuples a ridge of land between the Mediterran- ean and Lake Mareotis. The Rosetta mouth of the Nile lies more than 30 miles to the east Cairo, the interior metropolis,*lies 129 miles by rail to the southeast, and the Suez Canal is more than 140 miles to the east. The city is linked by a network of rail- way and telegraph lines to the other towns of Egypt, and is in telephonic connection with Cairo. “*Alexandria is the counting house and the commission office of the Nile Valley. The British chamber of commerce has its headquarters there, and there, too, are located the head offices of many of the largest com- mercial organizations doing business in the Near East. The value of the city's trade, in normal times, is about $240,000,000 a year. The western harbor, designed for a modern, first- rank commerce, is visited annually by 3,000 vessels. The chief articles of export are grain, cotton, beans sugar and rice, and the business is ! largely in the hands of Europeans, of whom there are 50,000 in the total population of 400,000. The city is connected by cable lines with Cyprus, Malta, Crete and Port. One of the interesting phases of Alexandria’s commerce is that it sends 80,000,000 eggs each year to London, where these products retail as fancy fresh eg; This large yearly” turnover gives Egypt an intimate relationship with the Englishman’'s breakfast table. ‘“Dinocrates of Rhodes, architect and friend to the famous Macedonian, laid out Alexandria. He planned the city as an affair of right angles and | ! shortage of some $87,500 in the sharp corners, including the whole in a parallelogram quardrisected by two main thoroughfares. This regular- ity of city-plan that Dinocrates de- veloped was the beginning of the | school of grid-iron city-building, of the impersonal, strictly business eity | only now waning in popularity. “The exotic Grecian city was battleground from the start.

Southington liked its Mr. Cur- tis and had full faith in him ard the | directors. Between faith in the cash- | ier and faith in thq directors the plun- | dering was easy enough, no doubt. Somehow the failure of the examin- | wrong seems not to be takea into con- | sideration. After all, thoug is it not possible that some of the newspaper | readers and some of the banic deposi- tors of this state, in which the record ‘Greek learning and Greek philosophy tound refuge in Alexandria, ahd there | antagonized, and finally blended with, | the philosophies of the East. Chris- | tianity and Paganism fought some of | their most bitter battles there; ana | the Jews, the Christians, the Panthe- ‘ ists, and the philosophers fomented | many bloody riots, in which the fickie, 1 violent, loot-hungry Alexandrian mob | raged in unforgetable religious tu- mults. In one such tumult, the sur- passingly beautiful pagan priestes Hypatia, was torn to pieces to glut a brutish populace. “The_famous Alexandrian library was the bridge between the culture of classic Greece and the cultural needs of early Christian and Mohammedan Furope. Much of its treasures filter- ed through to the Moors and to the Christians through the scholarship of Rome. The library was destroyed in the war-flood, which followed the e of the religion from the desert nd the burning of the great boo treasury has been keenly deplored by :chu!m's of each generation succeed- | “In the latter years of the 18th century, the city . was held by the French.
