Bi STEVENS DISCUSSES THE REQUIREMENTS FOR PHARMACISTS (By Prof. A. B. Stevens.) The team "pharmacy" has a double meaning. It is frequently applied to the place of business where the prac- tice of pharmacy is conducted. It is also applied to the profession which' treats of the compounding and dispen- sing of drugs and chemicals for medi- cinal use. This includes a knowledge' of the collection, observation, and identification of drugs and chemicals. Hence a college of pharmacy is gen- erally considered as a place where students are preparing to practice the profession of pharmacy as conducted in a drug store. This was doubtless the original idea when the demands for chemists were limited and' chemi- cali invetiigatl'ns of various sorts were conducted by pharmacists, who, in order to be skilled pharmacists, must be chemists. But conditions have changed. The demands for edu- cated pharmacists are no longer from dr'ug stores alone, but come from many other lines requiring accurate chemical training. The qualifications for success in pharmacy aretherefore somewhat variable. Two students having the same training duid the same standing in their college work but with dif- ferent dispositions will not be equally successful in the same line of work. A student who is diffident may make a good chemist but a very poor sales- man, and salesmanship is a prere- quisite to success in commercial phar- macy. Therefore the qualifications' for success in commercial pharmacy. are a thorough pharmaceutical edu- cation, a naturally cheerful disposi- tion, accuracy in manipulation, tact, ability to read human nature, keen perception, and, last but by no means least, cleanliness. A fair degree of success may be achieved without the possession of all of the above quali- fications, but the degree of success will be in proportion to their attain- ment. The essential qualifications for the pharmaceutical chemist are accuracy, initiative, cleanliness, close observa- tion, ability to detect and interpret slightechanges. If one is naturally -careless and possessed of slovenly habits which cannot be corrected, he should by no means enter upon the study of pharmacy. The demand for chemists with special pharmaceutical training is constantly on' the increase and at present far exceeds the supply. It comes from pharmaceutical manufac- turing houses, drug and food labora- tories, national and state laboratories for drug and food inspectors as well as for analysts. Editor, The Michigan Daiiy: The Y. M. C. A. employment office welcomes all suggestions which are made for the purpose of increasing its efficiency and enlarging its use- fullness, both to students who desire employment and to Ann Arbor resi- dents who are in need of help. The suggestion which was recently made through this column that all summer positions should be carefully examined before offered to prospec- tive employes by such an agency as this 'office. It is the policy of this office to care- fully investigate the merits of all summer propositions and jobs reerred to it. If the linVestigation proves either that the firms which are seek- ing employes are unreliable finan- cially, or that their products are with- out merit, no effort is made to secure the desired employes. After having investigated the above points in each case to our satisfaction the effort is then made to find the right student for the job. But at that point we feel that our r'sponsibility ends. We- cannot sign the contract for the stu- dent. He must be the judge of its validity and fairness. We are glad to advise him on this point but he must make the decision. On the other hand we cannot guarantee the services of the student to the employ- er. He must take the responsibility. During the spring vacation more that 200 jobs were assigned by this office. We were 'unable to fill all re- quests. A few studentshave failedrto perform their work satisfactorily. In a few in sances the dealings of em- ployers with the employed have not been considered fair and satisfactory. In either case the name is dropped from our lists. At this time we do not have avail- able the names of a sufficient number of students to supply the demands for help of various kinds. We want the names of all students who desire employment and would urge those desiring the services of students to notify this office at least one day in advance.. The hours of the employment office (Room 5, Law Bldg.) are 9-12 and 2-5 daily excepting Saturday after- noon and Sunday. The telephone number is 823. Applications for Army Y. M. C. A. secretaryships may also be filed in this office. There is an urgent demand for men who are above draft age for oiver-seas duty. F pl an ag ml op pl Calkins Drug Co. "Sappy New" SEASON.

This is due partly to the fact that lls have received orders to resume eration, and also because the peo- e of Ann Arbor are conserving the Realize f pleasure of Food.

FINANCIAL AID FROM NATION Small colleges that have been hard hit financially by the war have been assured of helpful legislation by Majority Leader Kitchin of the House of Representatives, and other reve- nue legislation leaders. Numerous stories have come to Congress that many schools are on the verge of a financial collapse, Bequests of states to educational and charitable institutions are at present not included' in the provi- sion that they should be tax exempt, it is said, by an oversight. As a re- sult, there has been a stiff rate on all inheritance taxes, and a consider- able portion of the gifts that have been of great support to the colleges. This has not only cut down the amount already donated to the col- leges, but has discouraged the prac- tice of giving. Aside from this, tutition fees have been cut down by large enlistments of the men students and prospective stu- dents. Representative Rainey, of Il- linois, ranking democrat of the waysl and means committee, is ' in charge of amendments which will take off the present war tax burdens from educational and charitable institu- tions. Devotees of dancing will find one of their favorite habitats, the Michigan Union dance hall, now resembling a mess tent. Ten long tables accom- modate the army stores men and the aero mechanics who arrived yester- day. The tables will, of course, be moved every night on which there is a dance, but during "business-as-usual" times, the Union will preserve its semi- cantonment aspect. - The army stores men and the aero mechanics will have the same meal hours, and the food will be served army fashion. Each man will serve himself from platters placed on the tables. At the end of each meal, ser- geants will inspect all the plates to see that no food has been wasted. An additional entrance has been constructed on the east side of the building to accommodate the increas- ed body of men who will henceforth make use o'f the Union. The new Union clubhouse is now be- ginning to take on a more finished ap- pearance. The tower has reached its full height, and work on the statues, which are to be placed above the en- trance, is progressing rapidly. Win- dows are being installed, and the structure as a whole shows a mark- ed progress. I . i supply in their possession. One of the bakers received a car load containing 350 barrels of flour last week, and is expecting two other orders- to arrive within a few days. Others have reported that their sup- ply of wheat flour is satisfactory due to the Michigan Milling company re- suming operation, and also because they have been receiving shipments from other mills. It is expected that there will be two carloads more in the city before the end of next week. People have been conserving wheat as shown by the decrease of sales among the bakers and grocers. Be- pause of the government ruling that substitutes be sold with every pur- chase of flour, people have stopped baking their own bread. The result is that bakers are supplying the greater part of the city with bread, and their sales show a slight decrease. Aside from this, bakers are using 25 per cent of substitutes in the manufacture of bread, and this has added consid- erably to the reserve supply of flour, At present every baker in the city is well supplied with the article, and ex- presses no .fear of another shortage.
