"  975.  Was  it  found  absolutely  requisite  to  establish  a  model  school  of 
pharmacy  to  indicate  the  course  of  study  that  young  men  ought  to  go 
through? — It  was  necessary  not  only  to  institute  a  system  of  education,  but 
in  the  hope  of  bringing  forward  educated  men  to  become  teachers. 
li  976.  In  the  establishment  of  this  school,  has  every  thing  been  done 
which  the  experience  in  other  countries,  and  the  teachers  in  this  country, 
could  suggest,  to  make  the  education  as  complete  as  possible  %  —I  apprehend 
so.  We  have  established  lectures  in  chemistry,  materia  medica,  pharmacy 
and  botany ;  and  we  have  established  a  laboratory  which  is  well  attended. 
w  977.  Have  you  a  statement  of  the  number  of  pupils  who  have  attended  1
