oy PAGE TEN .... vSHAWA DAILY TIMES, London Times Says Banting Deserving of High Honors London, Dec. 3.--In connection with the conferring of the Honorary Fellowship of the Royal College of Surgeons of England on Dr. F. Banting, surgeon and physician, To- ronto, discoverer of insulin, and Professor of the Banting-Best hair of Research, University ot Toronto, by the Council of the Roy- al College recently, The Times edi- torially makes favorable comment and says Dr. Banting is the first member of the College ever thus honored. He has been a member of the Royal College for several years. "The honor," says The Times, "is signal; no other member of the Col- lege has ever before received it, but the discoverer of insulin certainly deserved no less at the hands of British surgeons. His work, as Lord Moynihan points out, has a direct bearing on the practice of surgery; it was made possible in the first instance by the achievements of Lister, In its essence it is an application of physiological kuowl- G. |edge to the needs of clinical prae- tice, and therefore represents that synthesis of effort which is the foundation of the science of medi- cine, Lord Moynihan, who has re- cently returned from Canada, refers to the lustre which Dr. Banting's work has shed on medical research in that land. "Phe discovery of an effective treatment of diabetes is certainly the most important contribution te therapeutics which has so far been made by any of the British Domin- fons. It stands, and will stand, as an inspiration and an example to the hundreds of eager young work- ers who, in Canada, in Australia, in New Zealand, in South Africa, and in other parts of the Empire, are dedicating their lives to the preven- tion and cure of disease." MILL GIRLS PAY VISIT T0 COLLEGE New Bedford Group Enjoy Stay at Wheaton--Plan to Study During Winter Norton, Mass., Dec. 3.--"Did I (ike it here? And how! Just give me enough money to go to college and I'll show you how well IT liked it," exclaimed a little New Bedford mill girl as she prepared to leave the Wheaton College campus after her first glimpse of the way college girls live. She was one of a group of 30 factory girls who came to Wheaton to talk over economic and industrial problems with the stu- dents here, and she voiced the atti- tude of most of the visitors toward college life. Though their stay at the institu- tion was brief, the girls were able to get a composite picture of what goes on behind the outer boundaries of the campus. They came here one afternoon, gravely discussed such weighty subjects as unemploy- ment insurance, slept late in attrac- tive rooms, enjoyed chummy little breakfast parties with Wheaton girls in the "dorms," and attended chapel. The harder side of college life, however, remained' in the back- ground. No worry about examina- tions and passing marks troubled the guests, who were only required to join in the discussions, The vis- ftors and students had dinner to- gether and later workesl out a pro- gramme of study for the coming winter. Next spring the Wheaton girls will go to New Bedford to be entertained by the mill workers and resume their consideration of econo- mies. "New Bedford is a little different from many cities," remarked Miss Meriam Furhman, Y.W.C.A, direc- tor at New Bedford, who accom- panied the young women on the trip. "There isn't much for a gir! to do but work in the mills. The number of positions for teachers, nurses, and stenographers are nat- urally limited in a city of that size, and a large number of bright girls take up mill work because there seems to be no other way for them to earn their living. "The girls are always glad to sign up for the annual week-end to Wheaton, and some of them feel that it's their duty to give the stu- dents an idea of what it means to earn your own ving by working in the mills."

Groups and Asso- ciations at Boston requested that the study be extended to that eity. This was done with the co-operation of Charles C, Cabot, Arthur Black and B. Loring Young, civic leaders of Boston. It was announced that for gen eral purposes of the investigation, intensive studies of failures would be made by means of data gathered by interviews with bankrupts, ana- lysis of thefr books and records, and other information obtained from creditors, trade and credit assocla- tions, and business bureaus. All types of current bankruptcies will be analyzed, including retajlers, wholesalers, manufacturers, con- tractors, wage-earners and profes- sional men. In the case of business organiza- tions, special emphasis will be plae- ed on types of books kept, mer- chandising methods, credit losses, capitalization, overhead, turnover and advertising. Also, previous business difficulties of every bank- {rupt will be examined, providing the investigators with a complete picture of the financial conditions of the bankrupt and the steps lead- | ing to his failure.

(Continued from page 2) Dr. Bird to the question of hered~ ity and to other medical problems. "Heredity does not receive its proper place in our thought and discussion," said the speaker In opening his address. "We hear mueh about preventive medicine and environment, but very infre. quently 'do we discuss the import ant question of heredity." Does Blood Tell? The first question asked bv the speaker was "Does blood tell?" He proceeded to answer this by stating that in the plant and anl- mal kingdoms all were ready to admit that definite characteristics were handed down from one gen- eration to the next. 'But in the human race, there was less faith in it. We pay much more atten. tion to environment. "Fducation and environment do a great deal for the child, but they do not add to the natural ability with which he is born." was the doctor's posi- tive assertion. He quoted two in stances to indicate that blood does tell. In the first family there have been 21 membors entered | He believed that within fifty years it would be frecly discussed, he sald, He pleaded for a higher place in our thought for heredity, and that young people be encouraged to study thelr ancestry so that they could copy the successes of their forefathers and eradicate their mistakes, "Encourage your chil. dren to pick thelr friends careful- ly, for without doubt one of their |g friends will form part of the link in the ancestry of your grandchil- | ¢t dren," he admonished.
