working zealously in our field for the sending forth of veterinary 
practitioners; and who can estimate the scope and extent of their 
work in our midst. While it is hardly possible that all of these 
schools can be a positive scientific success, it would seem to me 
that it should become our duty as a national association to watch 
carefully, zealously and earnestly their every movement, giving our
