by  the  Twenty-second  District  of  New  York  City.  It  was  offered 
to  their  medical  men  as  an  evidence  of  fair  play  in  their  propaganda 
for  the  more  extended  and  general  use  of  U.S. P.  and  N.F.  prepara- 
tions. 
In  conclusion  I  believe  that  there  is  sufficient  demand  for  limiting 
the  renewal  of  prescriptions,  by  medical  men,  to  warrant  the  popu- 
larization of  some  satisfactory  and  efficient  plan  for  doing  so,  and  I 
also  believe  that  the  plan  that  I  have  just  described  to  you  is  based 
upon  justice,  is  safe  legally,  and  where  it  has  been  tried  honestly, 
has  proven  to  be  perfectly  satisfactory. 
CORRESPONDENCE. 
STANDARDS  IN  PHARMACEUTICAL  EDUCATION. 
Editor  of  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy. 
Dear  Sir  : — I  have  read  with  much  interest  and  profit  your  arti- 
cle in  the  March  issue  of  the  American  Journal  of  Pharmacy. 
Permit  me  to  call  attention  to  a  sentence  on  page  102,  which  reads 
as  follows : 
"  And  so  if  the  youths  of  the  country  districts  of  Iowa,  or  Kansas, 
or  Missouri  have  not,  as  is  claimed  by  some,  the  opportunity  for 
obtaining  a  high-school  education,  is  that  any  reason  why  those  in 
Ohio,  or  Michigan,  or  Pennsylvania  should  be  excused  for  neglecting 
theirs  ?" 
I  should  like  to  make  the  statement  that  Kansas  is  not  willing  to 
have  herself  classified  with  any  geographical  district  where  oppor- 
tunities for  a  high-school  education  in  rural  districts  are  not  obtained. 
There  are  already  in  Kansas  one  hundred  and  fifty  accredited  high 
schools  ;  that  is  high  schools  accredited  by  the  University  of  Kansas. 
There  are  seventy-five  more  high  schools  that  give  a  two-year  high- 
school  course.  The  Barnes  law,  passed  in  1905,  grants  public  aid 
for  high  schools  ;  this  has  already  been  made  available  in  forty-three 
counties  of  the  State,  which  will  lead  to  the  establishing  of  an 
estimated  number  of  one  hundred  more  four-year  high  schools. 
Before  the  Barnes  law  went  into  effect,  twenty-one  counties  of  the 
State  had  already  established  county  high  schools.  Thus  sixty-four 
out  of  one  hundred  and  five  counties  of  the  State  offered  free  high- 
school  tuition.    It  is  estimated  that  within  two  years  there  will  not
