Not because of the fundamental LAW, but because of the

' Ashland, Center for Drama
TPHE first drama conference ever held in the history of this
Btate, opens at Ashland a week from today.
' How comef
Usually state conferences are held either at the state metro
polis, Portland; or at some place centrally situated. Here is a
conference held at the extreme
wealth.
The answer is this :
Under the aggressive leadership and intelligent direction of
Mr. Angus L. Boomer, of the Southern Oregon Normal, Ashland
has become the state center for
tion and development.
Last summer the Normal School gave a very interesting and
creditable Shakespearean festival,
ed George Bernard Shaw's
"Candida" with many novel
audience on all four sides of the stsge set, eliminating conveii
tional stage scenery, and the raised stage platform. The per
formance was an outstanding success.
A T the coming conference this play will be repeated, while
the University of Oregon players will come from Eugene
to put on a revival of Sheridan's
gates come from all parts, of the state, but many from California
including Miss Floyd Crutchfield of Los Angeles, a recognized
authority on the drama, the problems of the amateur producer..
The Ashland Normal and Mr.
ed upon this effort to revive interest in the spoken drama, ex
tend its beneficial influences throughout this section of the
state, including the rural districts, and stimulate a more general
participation in amateur theatricals and dramatic composition.
t
T is particularly interesting to note this movement is extra
curricular in character, which has become a political issue in
the state with the matter of compulsory fees for such activities
to be voted on, at the election the last of the month.
Without such a fee system,
work as this, would be impossible.
Who knows but that through " such activities, an actor,
actress or a dramatist of real ability might be developed, one
never can tell, such a course might well be of more practical
benefit to an individual Undent, than all the other courses
combined.
It merely throws another
valuable service not only to the student body but to the com
munity, that Mr. Bowmer and his department is performing.
All persons interested in the
ference, particularly on Saturday, a week from tomorrow. The
conference should receive the heartv support of all communi
ties in southern Oregon, and be

I'OLIPHOBIA AND
In & recent tabulation of the cases
admitted to a large metropolitan
hospital for communicable dleeaaea
It waa found
that 1,691 pat
ients had been
sent to the hos
pital presumably
111 of cerebro
spinal meningi
tis, and 1,327 of
these really had
meningitis; the
other 364 did
not. In the same
period 4.980 pat
ients were ad
mitted presum
ably 111 of dipnmerla, and of these
8,550 actually had diphtheria. No
less than 8.204 out of 9,605 patlente
admitted presumably 111 of scarlet
fever actually had scarlet fever.
Of 284 patlente presumably 111 of
amallpox, 197 actually had emallpox.
or si presumably 111 with ence
phslltls ("sleeping alckneaa") 35
had It.
Only 34 of 53 patlente aent In with
typhoid fever" had typhoid fever.
These figures are no reflection on
the diagnostic skill of physicians In
private practice, nor do they Indicate
any aupenor aklll or wisdom of phye-
Iclana on hospital ataffs. Bear In
mind' that the doctor In private prac
tlce sees the pstlent tn the early
atage of the Illness, before conclusive
signs or symptom develop, and
therefore has to be guided by his
experience and Judgment. Later
when the illness la fully developed,
the diagnosis la more a matter of
routine, machinery, teste which any
blight student, nurse or office boy
csn make.
These observatlona apply at any
rate to such diseases aa diphtheria
and typhoid fever, for which there
are apeclfto laboratory tests. They do
not apply ao much to Infantile par
alysis, acute anterior poliomyelitis.'
The nature and cause of this disease
Is still undetermined, and there Is
no positive test the diagnosis la still
a matter of the physician's opinion
In any case. Hence It is not remark
able that of 44S patients sent into
the hospital presumably ill of polio
myelitis only 225 actually had the
disease. To my mind It Is rather
astonishing that many more patients
were not admitted on a false alarm
of Infantile paralyala. The popular
fear of this disease tends to pre
vent exercise of the best Judgment
of the private practitioner. There
fore he sends the patient to the hos
pital on suspicion rather than risk
unjust criticism for falling to recog
nize the nature of the Illness early.
