Miss Robson will debut in student dramatics this year. Only from re- hearsals can we judge her merit, but if that be a fair test, there will be no fault with the work of Miss Robson, whom the Comedy club elected as the fit person for one of the most difficult and at the same time, cleverest of the parts of "Money." which these antecedent players have 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. John of Detroit, will be made tocor- respond with the original. Elaborate scenic effects will be furnished in part by the Whitney Company of ]Detroit, and in part they are being designed by local artists especially for the Comedy club. One of the most active agencies for making anything that is dramatic, "go" around here, is the personality of Mr. Bert St. John the popular De troiter whose able coaching and know- ledge of dramatic technique, and stage management puts the professional finish to any amateur production which he directs. In particular, has he been behind the Comedy club this year. His counsel and suggestions have meant improvement at each rehearsal for the past three weeks. LAWRENCE CLAYTON alais Graves, who has pessimistic ten- dencies, and who claims that if he had been bred a hatter, little boys would come into the world without heads. As a master in German dramatics, Mr. Clayton is known to us, from his excellent interpretation of the lead- ing part in the German comedy last year. Rumor has it that in rehearsals he is the "big find" of the Comedy club this year.

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.
