Not One Doctor Capcelled 1 His Engagement MANY DOCTORS ATTENDa More than 1200 physicians were inl attendance at the four day medical clinic held last week in Detroit and at which six University doctors gave addresses. A unique feature of the clinic was that of the 65 addresses7 which were scheduled, not a doctori broke his engagement. Eight hundred registered for the clinic which was held under the com- bined aid of the Detroit College of Medicine and Surgery, the Wayne' County Medical Society, the Michi- gan Medical Society, and the Depart- ment of Post-Graduate Medicine of the University of Michigan. Over 400 other doctors attended the clinic with- out registering. At present a program is under con- sideration for similar clinics of shor- ter duration to be given yearly in three or four of the larger cities of the state. A tentative program of clinics for next fall is being arranged for Flint, Grand Rapids, and Ann Ar- 1)01. The clinics will probably con- tinue for a two or three day period, ind are primarily for the purpose of tiding doctors to keep up with the idvances in their profession. University doctors who addressee he clinic were Dr. Aldred Scott War thin, professor of pathology, Dr. Pres- ton M. Hickey, professor of roentgen- ology, Dr. Louis H. Newburgh, profes- sor of clinical investigation, Dr. James D. Bruce, director of the department of post-graduate medicine, and pro- fessor of internal medicine, Dr. Cyru: C. Sturgis, director of the Simpsorn Memorial institute, and Dr. Roy P Canfield, professor of Otolaryngology.

It is reported that by noon of that day the fumes of this wartim e poison gas had penetrated the Free Harbor district throwing the residents into a panic, while eleven firemen and pol- icemen had died and ninety other vic- tims had been taken to hospitals. Troops were called, out to guide men, women, and children through the streets to other sections of the city while the endangered district has been closed. It. was hoped that a rain which set in would clear up the atmosphere and aid the northeast wind which was blowing the gas to the nearby town of Wilhelmsburg. The gas which is no longer manu- factured was some that had been left over from' the late war and was stored in the laboratories of Dr. S'tolzenburg in tanks preparatory to being sent to the United States. A supply of gas- masks has been ordered from Berlin to cope with the situation and to aid in stopping the leaks in the tanks. of the Division of Uiversity Inspye- tion of High Schools, has issued a suggested program for training pu- pils of the secondary schools in ef- ficient habits of study. As every school accredited by th University is expected to follow sous; definite and specified plan for train- ing their students in effective study methods, Professor Edmonson consid- ered that "study helps" issued by the Univesity would furnis the b e!> means for accomplishing this. Co;- sequently, lie has published a list fC 112 requisites for good study. Anoug these are a study program; have the proper conditions of light, materal, etc.; work independently; and several other suggestions of equal merit.
