   SUCCESS OF JAMAICANS.

News just to hand from Washington announces the brilliant success scored by certain
Jamaica students of the graduating classes of Howard University. The annual function,
in connection with which degrees were conferred, came off last Wednesday the 2nd
instant. Among those on whom were conferred the degree of Doctor of Dental Surgery
were Mr.Theodore Hanson. Messrs. E. A. Nicholson, A. J. Foster and G. A. Cole; also
Mr. R. A. McTaggart of Grand Cayman.
Messrs Hanson and Nicholson who were yoke-fellows throughout their three years'
university course, have decided to start practice abroad where, from their association
and success in the past, the way appears open to them for success. The plans of the
other young graduates are not yet made known.
It was learnt in the city yesterday that Dr. A. J. Foster, who was recently a clerk in the
Civil Service, will return to the island in the next couple of months, and will practice
in Kingston.

extract from a letter from a Howard student:

"It is exceedingly difficult to enter Howard medical school in present. It has reached such a standard that they are rigid pertaining to the preliminary education of the
applicant. They feel that the different centres of learning of the West Indies do not teach
generally the necessary sciences on a sufficiently broad line for this school, and
therefore they send all to the scientific department for two years before going in for
medicine.
Applicants who have spent three or 
four years at some of our best high schools producing both Cambridge junior and senior certificates, have had to undergo the necessary course. To rush directly into the medical school one must have passed the London or Cambridge matriculation or can prove that you are of that standard. It is only
the time, but they will be better man at the end."
