done in giving to "Money" the popu-
larity which it justly deserves. The
costuming will follow that of the first
players, the staging and scenic effects,
under the direction of Mr. Bert St.

scenic effects will be furnished in part
by the Whitney Company of ]Detroit,

by local artists especially for the

One of the most active agencies for

of Mr. Bert St. John the popular De

he directs. In particular, has he been
behind the Comedy club this year. His

PRACTICE OF PHARMACY WAS

The practice of pharmacy dates back retail business. And there are at the

LEGAL REQUIREMENTS A A
TO PRACTICE PHARMACY.
Registered Pharmacists must be
twenty-one years of age, must have
had four years' practical experience
in pharmaceutical work in the place
where drugs, medicines and poisons
are dispensed and -etailed, and pre-
scriptions compounded, and must pre-
sent evidence that they have com-
pleted tenth grade work in the public
schools, or its equivalent. The time
spent at a college is deducted from
the four years' experience required
provided the work amounts to not less
than fifteen hours of laboratory work
and not less than ten hours of other
instruction weekly . during two full
collegoate years of nine months each.
Registered druggists, must be eigh-
teen years of age, must have had two
years' practical experience of the
same nature as above, and must pre-
sent evidence of having completed
tenth grade studies in the public
schools or its equivalent. Not more
than one year of attendance at a
school of pharmacy of the grade stated
above is deducted from the practical'
experience required of registered drug-
gists. The full time spent at this
School of Pharmacy is, however, de-
ducted from the experience required.
This provision enables graduates of
the two year course to secure regis-
tered druggists license at once. All
candidates must pass the examination
of the Board of Pharmacy.
When this state law was framed,
the School of Pharmacy was given the
opportunity of inserting a clause
which would have pernitted its gradu-
ates to register without examination,
but Dr. Prescott declined, stating that
if our graduates could not pass the
examination we wanted to know it.
,ou,t
The Aristolochite.
The Aristolochite is an honorary so-
ciety. It is purely a student organiza-
tion, but to become a member the can-
didate must have the approval of the
faculty of the School of Pharmacy.
HIGH POSITIONS

had on pharmaceutical education may
