SEARCHLIGHT THROWN Oil INDIO'S NEEDS Dr. Murray Appeals for Doc* tors; Urges That More Stu dents Study Medicine. The need of doctors and nurses in In , dia was the theme of a lecture delivered in Deady hall Thursday by Dr, Lovell J. Murray, of the student volunteer move nent. The Rockefellers have opened up a number of new hospitals throughout In dia and the greatest need at the present time is a sufficient number of doctors and nurses to keep these open. The Rock efeller Board will support as many doc tors and medical people as can be found to take up the work in India,, Need of Medical Attention There are 30,000,000 people in the country and the lack of medical attention ind supplies is terrible, the speaker said. The hospitals are small and can acco modate only a small number of patients. Many of the sufferers are left in their native village and are visited by travel ling doctors who make the rounds as of ten asp ossible. These physicians some times treat as many as two hundred cases a day and at times as many at two a minute. Small hospitals have Seen erected from time to time by various denominations who have missionaries in the field, hut because of a lack of funds they have not been suffient to meet the demand. Since there are hospitals it is necessary only for the American people to supply the men and women needed to be of a real service to India. It was only a short time jago that one of the Rockefeller hospitals stood vacant for a year and a half be cause there was no one to take charge of it. For these reasons Dr. Murray ur ged that more students take up the study of medicine. Religious Welfare Absent The religious welfare of the Hindus has ^suffered also. There have been mission aries in the country for some time, sent by various religious denominations, but the majority of the natives remain true to their gods and to their caslte systems. So strict is the system that a man 'of one level of society may not: even buy -goods from a man of another in the usual way. He must not approach nearer the seller than within shouting distance and then must leave his money and stand back while the man of higher or lower caste places the goods where he may return and get It. It is very1 difficult for a Hindu to be come a Christian. Perhaps the greatest drawback, Dr. Murray skid, is the fact that he is not allowed, after .turning Christian, to drink out of the city well and if he should dig a well of his own the water is immediately poisoned. There are numerous preachers or “swami” who come to the United States :o preach. They, however, according to Dr. Murray, give only the philosophical side of the religion, without the practical. These men have large followings in some large Armenian cities and it is difficult to convince some of their adherents that there is a practical side to the religion which is not so appealing as the other side. HE AND STUDENTS WILL PLAYCHAUTAUP Tour Will Last 16 Months and Will Cover Ten West era States. — Professor A. F. Reddie, head of the public speaking department, has se cured a leave of absence from the Uni versity for the months of May and June, so that 'he may fill an engagement with the Ellisen-White Chautauqua com pany.

The etension department has been made a “school” with Dr. Joseph Schafer as dean. Dr. S. P. Ctopen in his report criticised Oregon for a lack of sufficient extension ■work. Doctor Schafer says that this crit icism was justified, .but that lack of fin ances has made it impossible to do more. The board of regents directed more of the appropriation to the extension depart ment this year than before, making it possible to take up some new lines of work. The professors now engaged in exten sion work are: Dr. H. D. Sheldon, Prof. F. O. Ayer end Dr. B. W. DeBusk, of the education department; Dr Joseph Schafer, Earl Kilpatrick, Prof J. F. Bo vard, Dr. E. & Conklin, Dr. J. H. Gil bert, Dr. O F. Hodge, Prof. A. R. Sweet ser, Dr. George Rebec, Prof. O. F. Staf ford, Prof. P. P. Adams, Dr. D. W. Mor ton and Mrs. M. H. Parsons Doctor Morton has outlined a group of new courses and has secured some others from the University of Wisconsin Professor Adams has opened a new line of work for the carpenter's union of Portland. , - Mrs. Parsons conducts English classes in Portland which are attended by from four to five hundred people. The enrollment in the correspondence school is 442. The most popnlar subjects are: education, English, history and mathematics. The students registered in the department include many teachers and others interested in higher educa tion, who are unable to come to college. CRIPPLED INTELLECTUALS TO RECEIVE TREATMENT Professor Thnoher to Hoad Movemeat on Attaining Higher Standard In Use of English If you see ENG. written on your re port card at the end of the semester pre pare to enter a hospital. The chief phy sician will be Professor W. F. G. Thach er and his assistants will be other mem bers of English department. Any of your instructors who consider you notably deficient in English are urg ed by special legislation of the faculty to commend you to the English depart ment for individual treatment. The hope is to focalize attention on securing higher standard of English, according to Prof. Thacher, who originated the plan. Hospital Open* Net Semester The hospital opens next semester and we hope to have a good many patients. We are certain to have If a large per cent of the faculty cooperate in the plan. There will be no uniformity of treatment. Some cases we will treat with individual assignments and confer ences while others may require class work. Uniformity is impossible. No doubt we will encounter some cases for which we can do little or nothing,” said Profes sor Thacher. The question arose on faculty discus sion of the advisability of installing the plan why any student should be passed in English composition if he is deficient. Professor Thacher pointed out that the use of good English is a habit and a reversion may set in at any time after class work and routine has been discon tinued. MAKES ATHLETIC CHANGES. Radical changes in Trinity's athletic code have been adopted, including a one year rule, and a rule barring any student who has been a member of a professional baseball team or a money-winner in track athletics from competing in inter collegiate events. In addition, it is de clared that no student over 20 years of age shall be eligible for the football team.
