It would indeed be comforting to feel that your hammer-throwing specialist could at a pinch fill in creditably at baseball or hockey, or even turn a handspring upon a wager. Another serious article, by W. Lippmann, pleads for more robustness of interest, on the part of students, in American politics. By all means,--and in other matters too.

It will not long be necessary, indeed, it is not now necessary, that the professional dentist should make with his own hands bridges, plates, or other carriers of artificial teeth. The dentist of the future will make all the designs or patterns needed, just as the orthopaedic surgeon does; but he will employ skilled mechanics working in a dental laboratory to execute those designs.
