>th'e urpeir .:lass iw such cWuntrie.s
,aa England and France were the
aristocratic farmers ,6r land own

the 'cities were looked down upoin

to be the.oiitT'ast of society. Far
mers are.th'.ught to be unskilled
laborers whi> «an’t make a living
at aoy iptheir job. This, biased con
ception of farming, I’m happy to
say, is breaking: di;wn. ■ TJiii's bet
ter under-tijndijg is- due mainly
tp three individual factors.
First, new inventions of farm
ma'.hlnery have changed farm
labor jfrom drudgery to a plea
sant out-d'xir 'occupation. From
Bibical times to 1800, a period of
18 centuries, practically no new
inventions of flarn’ing implement-:
were ooncijcted. But dwring the
last 138 yeairs inventions and im
provements of agricultural ma
chinery have kept pace with the
strides in industrial inventions
which we term the indu^'trial revo-
luti'O'n. Such inventions as the
’tracfT, reaper, steel ploiw, thraih-
er, J'rilIs, ijid seed pl'anters 'Af
lall types have really modernized
agriculture. Human labor hia.«
■been reduced to a minimum and
'its efficiency increased several
hundred pei'i'ent.
Farm work in general is hard
maniial labcir although those wMrk-
era who are fortunate enough to
live on farms equipped with mo
dem machinery may see a much
easier time than the avEirage la-
iborer. Farm labor under these
circumstances is a pleasure in
Oomp»nii«on to the monotonous
j'lork iflf miany other occupations.
The fact that it is ^out-door wtirk
also addis to the attractiveness of
(farming as a^r occupation. Such
inventions as the automo'bile ra
dio and other electrical appliances
have benefited the country people
even more than they have the city
•dwellers, because the countrymen
(have made a wider application of
them.
The secwnd factor that has aid
ed in bireiaking down the iprejudic-
ed ■conception of farming and
eoajntry life is the fact that the
trend of residence among the
better classes of (people is away
ifirom the city and to the «uburba?i
and country districts. The fine
homes are n' t being built right
up in town any more, but on the
out-skirt? 'Of town and in the
country. We are coming daily to

The doctor ;of today muist be ex
celled, in the study of phycAoLogy
and ■psychoania'lysiis. The human
being .is niot entirely biological,
but psycho-biiologiical, and train
ing in medicine should bs based
on a l^nowledge of the personality
as welj as-tbe body. The doctor
who really kndws human beings,
who can aha^-ze, sympt'ons', and
wh6 can treat p'^ychqlogical ail
ments in a psychological m'anner,
is the doctor who is well-liked
and successful. Doctors must be
tactful when he knows that a
patients illness is merely a condi-
■tion in the mind. Ask any doc
tor how to l'o«e a patient . and
he will tell you to inform the pa
tient-that nothing is the matter
with him. The .patient is angry,
runs with his “ailment” to an
other doctor.

Statistics say that there are 2

Since the rise of the general
.level !of :;ucation has been great,
for instar.ice in 1903 those pirivel-
eged t>-go to upllege was 3 per
cent -it is now 23 per cent. The

A prominent practicing ';hy?;i-
cian and surgeon says, “the aver
age remunetion 'of the phj-sician
is from $3,000.00 to $5,000.00 iper
year for his services. It takes
ifrom seven to nine years, includ
ing enterneship to prepare for
the pra'ctice of medicine.” He
further s'ays that the oppoTtunity
;tioday in the field lof medicine is
good if the physician has as hc’3
aim, “to do great good, and to
make a limited anvoiunt of money
honest]}\” He 'says that “the
profession is not overcrowded if
the country is taken as a whole,
and that the 'field is not over
crowded for honest, ethical and
thorough physicians.
The law governing the practice
lof dentistry in North Carolina
slays that “The North Carolina
State Board lof Dental Examiners
shiall grant license to practice
'dentistry to such applicants who
^re graduates of a ireputable den
tal institution who, ,^n the opin
ion of a majirrity of the Board,
shiall underg^T a satisfactory ex
amination of protfi'ciency in the
knowledge and practice of den
tistry, subject, however, t)o the
fu'rther proviisions of this section
and of the provisions.of this act.
“The applicant shall be of good
moiral cha’raicter, at least twenty-
one years of age lat the time the
application for exiamiiniation ia

made to the said Board in writ-
j ing and shall be aci'.i:impanied by

Care is .'abserved in most den
tal 'colleges in selecting students
to begin the study.of dentistry,
through a strict adherence to
proved ability in secondary edu-
catiisn and in the completion of
prescribed courses in predental
collegiate training. The Balti-
m'ore College 'of Den'tal S'urgeiry
'states that, “the 'requirements for
ladmission and the academic regu
lations 'of the College of Arts and
Sciences are strictly ladihered to
by the School of Dentistry.” Ap
plicants for admission to the den
tal curric'uluim must Kave~ciom-
