All agreed that the Plainfleld was a disgrace, and that It was time tho Central Itailroad got more new boats Tho Plainfleld is an old offender Some times, with wind and tide In hor favor, she arrives on time. Oftener she doesn't, and the commuters on board resolve to live In New 1 ork next year. I net night she drifted across the river, approached her slip, hesitated and drifted into tli Pennsylvania freight dock to the north, among a lot of rail road floats. The passengers groaned and tho pilot backed her out again and headed her straight for the proper landing place The Plalntleld started again, but made, a mistake aud took a pier a, little further north. The engine room bells olanged, and another attumnt was made It ended In the Plalntleld bumping her no89 Into the pierhead, " heep her straight," yelled the passengers "Turn tier around and try It bnokwnrd " On back to Jersey no, don't," for the Plainfleld started backward, and It seemed as if she wero really going to give It up In midstream, however, she paused The skipper of u passing tug tooted an anxious kiqulry as to what she was really going to do, and another ferryboat in the Central slip hustled nut nfthowa) to loave tho coast olear. Hut this time it wns all right The tide may have helped, perhaps, or as n woman passenger suggested, the poor old thing was tired and wanted to rest She drifted in again, thrashed around a little, and wassa'ely tied up " That's the third time this week," a passen- ?er said savagely, "bho ought to be sent to Irooklyn " tien.

Charles Sedgwick Mlnot of Boston, a leading professor In the Harvard Modlcal School, delivered tho annual address to the Yale Medical School seniors this afternoon Ills subject was "Knowledgo and Practice" In the course of his address ho said: "We nro brought to tha conclusion that though tho primary function of our medical schools I, to educate prnotltlonors of medicine, yet thoy ought to assume now the further nnd hlghorfunctlon of training medical Inves tlgatora Tho requirements of comparative medicine call for moro changes than wo havo yet mentioned. The very word comparative Implies that animals shall bo Included in the range of study It means that not nnlyshnll provision bo mndn for investigating the struc ture of animals and for physiological experi ments, but also for the observation and treatment of sick animals, or, ln other words, thore ought to be a veterinary hospital In In tlmato association with the school of human medicine. Such n hospltnl would Increase the range of experience and contribute n broaden ng (mpulso to all medical work. It is, I bo llevo, qulto a now project to consolidate tho in terests of veterinary and humnn modlclne. but It Is bv the Initiative of President Flint under actual consideration at Harvard nnd will. If carried out. be an epoch-making advance. Hlnce wo nro all agreed that prevention is a rapidly Increasing part of medical practice, and since many disonses, like tuberculosis, typhoid fever, or the bubonic plague, nre spread hy animals. It followa that wo must look upon the study of diseases of animals ns nn intogral nnd Indispensable portion of pre ventive modlclne, A hospital Is as necessary fortho observation and treatment of sick ani mals a, of sick men. Most of us, I am sure, nntlcipatiiin the near futuro n magnificent de velopment of preventive medlelno One of tho best means to promoto tho fulfilment of these anticipations Is to bring the veterinary hospi tal Into close and intlmato union with tho medical school " In conclusion ho said: "This Is not the time to outer Into a discussion of tho assumed antagonism between proetioal aclenco and ( hrlstlan faith Kach year brings tho two Into closer and more helpful relations and Increases their mutual understanding The dignified agnosticism of Huxley nnd the lofty spiritual ism of Drunks meet In the common conviction that the, growth and development nf man to a higher and butter physical and spiritual life is alono what makes oxlsuinco worthy."
