most adequate facilities-1, of the Emmett

utter absence of the hateful mosquito;
the utdiinited hospitality of7~and
ready-cooperation by, the citizens generally;
and not the least outstanding
reason of all was the fact that some of
the most distinguished educators and
leadiner school men end women of
price to Winthrop College, whose
summer-school was held at the same

Summer Sjchool with much profit,

South African Natives
Lack doctors is Report
H
4
New York, July 23?The National
Association for the Advancement of
Colored People, ,69 Fifth Avenue, has
received a report from South Africa,
published in the, British Medical Journal
statin# that owing to the obstacles
ing a medical education, there are far
too few doctors. The rrredical schools
at Capetown and Johannesburg do
riot admit native students and no provision
exists elsewhere in the Union
of South, Africa for training them.
A committee of four doctors and
two laymen appointed to "inquire into
the training of natives in medicine
and public health", has reported. The
report states that few European doctors
find sufficient inducement to pracice
among the natives in the kraals.
Whereas there should be about one
doctor to every five thousand natives
there is now only one doctor to every
fifty thousand.. __
Onnosit.ion to sendincr students to
England for training is based on the
contention that they become "infected
with ideas unsuitable to South Africa."
The British Mpdical Journal's
Johannesburg correspondent writes
thift "Meanwhile there has been ragin
the daily press a discussion in
which clerical, medical and university
men are taking part as to whether
the mentality o'f the South African
native, or Bantu is potentially equal
to that of the European. As
affecting the-question of the profepsional
training of natives, it is of in^rSeVnl
note that there are now practising
in the Urfh&ji six Bantu doctors,
and their practice is by no mean*
confined to natives."
