"WE SEE NOTHING AT OPERATION"

SO STUDENT INVENTS NEW TECHNIQUE"

A 23-year-old medical student, Mr. Robert G. W. Ollerenshaw, of Manchester, has made the first experiment in a technique. which may revolutionise the teaching of surgery in England.

Early this month the first sur- gical film in colour to be made in England was shown by the Bri ttali Flim Institute in London. Production was by Mr. Olleren- shaw, who also designed and built the lighting equipment and camera accessories,

The film showed his father, a surgeon attached to the Royal Manchester Children's Hospital, operating in a case of "Pes Cavus," or foot in which the arch is curved so abnormally high that walking is almost ini- possible.

which you can teach the more obscure type of operative sur- gery is by means of the film.

"Ninety-nine of the 100 students sco nothing of the operation they are 'watching,' Some of us have taken field glasses and telescopes to the operatify theatre, and seen

nothing.

"As # result you find young surgeons actually performing operations which they have never

Classes in surgery, Mr. Olleren- shaw is convinced, should consist of short lectures on knotty points and demonstrated by films.

Alphabet That Is 3,000 Years Old

Washington, Nov. 15.

་་་

1. Dr. George Lamea, inter- nationally known ethnologist as- sociated in research with Smith- sonian Institution scientists, has announced solution of a centuries- old mystery-discovery of the 'origin of the English alphabet.

The story involves search of ancient Greek manuscripts, the revelation that the Greeks them- selves had no idea where the alphabet came from, and finally the discovery of the first 'al- phabet as used among the nebul- ous civilisations of the ancient Near East,

Aramaic, a language which spread through the Euphrates valley about 900 B.C., and a later form of which was spoken by Jesus himself, provided the key. The ancients of the Near. East, Dr. Laman found, developed the alphabet, almost as it is known to-day from observing the objects at every hand,

Almost every letter of tho modern alphabet once was a pic-i ture with a definite meaning of Ite own from "A", which meant God, to "Y", which meant the human hand. Dr. Lamsa sold it was sigui-

Sleeves must at least cover the elbows; and skirts fali "Far below** the knees.

A, B, and C, meant respectively God, House and Camel, or the Deity, Home and Transportation.

With a little imagination nearly all the letters in the present-day alphabet may be identified as the pictures, modified through the cen- turies, of the objects they original ly represented.

Dr. Laman's picture alphabet, including most of the 22 Aramaic aymbols with a brief description of ench follows:

A. Alep, o Alpa, meaning Ox, the most powerful animal in Assyria and hener worshipped as a god.

B. Bet, House. The shape of the letter still resembles the floor plan of un'ancient Semille house.
