ANNOUNCEMENT FOR 1911-1912. The demand for educated pharmacists was never so great as it is to-day. Not only are salaries higher than ever before for those employed as clerks, but there are more opportunities for advancement. The demand, however, is for good men, those having business capacity, industry, integrity, and a good pharmaceutical education. There is no likelihood that there will be any material change in this respect, unless it be to intensify the present demand for the kind of pharmacists now most needed. Employers are looking for men who have a college education, and the supply is not equal to the demand. Furthermore, the National and State Pure Food and Drug laws call for such constant care in the making of pharmaceuticals, such vigilance in the examination and testing of drugs and chemicals, that no drug store can be considered properly equipped that has not in it at least one person who is capable of applying the tests of the Pharmacopoeia. And these laws have come to stay. They may be-probably will be modified, but they will never be repealed, because the people demand them. Pharmacists must adjust themselves to public sentiment, and the public expect pure drugs and medicines and competent persons to manufacture and dispense them. The necessary knowledge of the sciences on which the art of pharmacy is based, and the technical skill required to practice that art, are best acquired-most economically learned-in a college of pharmacy. The time has gone by when any considerable amount of teaching is done in the drug store. Little, if any, didactic instruction is presented to the junior clerk, and not much technique is acquired. The demands of trade and the somewhat factory-like method of doing the technical work of the laboratory and prescription counter are alike ill adapted to the purpose of imparting instruction. In many drug stores but little manufacturing is done. In still more, practically no drug testing or assaying is thought of, and even where this is done, the facilities for doing it are usually limited, and the work is done by the proprietor or his chief clerk, no pains being taken to teach the juniors how to do it. Clerks are hired to do certain work whereby they can add to their employer's revenue, and they are paid in money, not in teaching. Usually the |
