Brave Words Erom Michigan. —In the course of a pri¬ 
vate letter from Secretary Giffen, of the Michigan State 
Veterinary Medical Association, the following paragraphs 
occur : “ We were very sorry to learn of the unsuccessful termina¬ 
tion of the grand effort made by the American Veterinary 
Medical Association’s Committee to obtain favorable legislation 
[for the Army]. However, we hope the committee will keep 
up the good work. I think the veterinarians of Michigan gave 
all the assistance they could to the committee, and we’ll try to 
do more next time. We Michigan veterinarians pride our¬ 
selves a good deal upon our ‘gameness.’ * * * It took us 
17 years to obtain favorable legislation in this State, but we 
kept at it, and in 1899 we succeeded in having a very good law 
passed, and we are back again this year with an amendment 
to the veterinary act establishing a standard similar to that 
required by the American Veterinary Medical Association for 
veterinary schools that are to be recognized ; also, a provision 
cutting out the privilege of an examination by the State 
Veterinary Board of non-graduates or graduates of schools that 
are not recognized after May, 1902. * * * The veterinary 
convention in Detroit last September did us a great deal of 
good, and there will be a good delegation from Michigan to 
Atlantic City next September.”
