Letter l'roin I'nifemor Miller
The following letter was received from
Prof. Leslie W Miller, pilncipal of the
Pennsjaula Museum and School of In
dustrial Art:
"Tho existing system of copying and
repeating In tho management of munici
pal affairs the government machinery
of the nation and the StalO legislative,
executive. Judicial and all that Is cer
tainly a ml'take. It has had a fair trial
and has continued far too long already,
and wh.itiver Is to leplaee It, It should
bo abolished as roinpletely ns possible.
Hy Juit what foini of government the
piesent one would bo most profitably re
placed Is, of coutse, open to discussion.
"Th(. new government, whatever Its
form, should cerlnlnlv be simple and rep
resent not district Interests, but those of
the city as a whole Personally. I favor
a commission, hut It is possible that a
small Council might bo Just as well If
It could be chosen In such a way as
to make tho choice of men of ability to
serve In It as free as It would bo In the
ciso of n commission In either case,
the numlur to be appointed or elected
at any time should be very small, the
"shoit ballot" being. In my opinion, one
of the veiy best reforms that has ever
been pronoed foi our political system."

ono woman graduato of tho Penn medi

Tho medical school of the University
was opened to coeds about four ears

ago. In 191? one coed graduated mid

Illockley Institution. At present there
are ten coeds In tho medical school, a
few In each clans.
In spenkliift Of the admittance of wom
en grads fo tho University Hospital,
Thomas Robins, chairman of tho mana
gers, said that It Is an Indication of the
trend of the times.
"Women being educated In nil fields of
endeavor have Increased vastly In num
ber," said Mr. Itoblns. "And medical ed.
ucatlon of women has Jumped'fiv leaps
nnd bounds. Wo havo felt that tho Unl
verslty having admitted women to
classes and also allowed them to obtain
medical degrees should open the doors
of Its hospital to the women graduates "
"We'll be glad to have women Internrs
