FRIDAY, MAY 22, 1914. MEDICAL IGNORANCE. Among tho papers of R. H. Stoddard- that Rysloy Hitchcock edited, thoro 1b a letter which Oliver Wendell Holmes, tho poot physician, is said to have re ceived. This lottor was written many yoars ago by an ignorant country prac titlonor and it is interesting because it shows tho low levol to which, in tho nTlyTittrtf-the-laBt--oentur-y7-4LJvas. possible for medical education to fall. Tho letter, verbatim, follows: Dear dock I have a pashunt whos physicol slnoB Bhozo that tho wlnplpo is ulcerated of and his lung have dropped into his stumlck. He is un ablo to swaller and I fear his stumlck is gono. I have giv him ovohrytning without ofock TifiTFather TF wealthy honorablo and lnfluenshail. Ho is an activo member of tho M. B. church and God noes I don't want to loose him wot shall it do?,r - MEDICAL EDUCATION TODAY In glancing over tho last Journal of A. M. A. wo wore struck by an articlo by Bevan of Chicago which provokoB tho following: Nine years ago, at tho time that tho Council on Medical Education first carao into being, there wore over 28, 000 medical Btudonts in the United States, distributed among Borne ono hundred and sixty medical colleges, good, bad, and indifferent Today, largely through tho effort of tho profes sion itsolf to raise the standards, thoro aro 17,000 students, in one hundred colleges, mostly good, and while nine yoars ago o ly four uf tho uno-hunH dred and sixty schools required mora than a high school education for ad mission, now eighty of them require advanced standing. Just what does thin monn from tho point of view of the Buffering, overworked student? Of course it means harder work and moro of it, but also it means lessoned com petition in an ovor increasing field with greater chance of a decent living for all of us and room for big work for tho more ambitious of us. Medical schools aro rapidly pasBlng tho stage of private endowment and are, even as the Arts and Scioncos, no longer dependent upon private endow ment and the caprice or private pa tronage, when, as In the middle ages, learning hung upon tho fluctuating for tunes of personal favoritism. We are approaching a time when medical edu cation, will bo a function of 'the state alone. Wo of Nebraska aro very for- tunato ill finding oursolvos in the van guard of tho now modiclno, with tho rosourcos 6T bucH a great colnTHoiF wealth as our own stato at our back. Wo sometimes growl when tho couceo is hard, but Wo aro often more ready to "hollor" when it 1b poor, and moat of us reallzo, oven though wo do not ofton speak of it, that our advantages aro many. Wo will graduate bettor equipped than our fathers, with an ed ucation-superior to-that- of -many ot our competitors and equal to that of tho rest, into a wido field with decreas ing competition and increasing oppor tunity. Surely wo have much for which to thank tho profession as a whole and our Stato University, in particular. MI88 LILLIAN B. 8TUFF, R. N. Success haB crownod tho efforts of tho dispensary staff who at the begin ning of tho year decided to mako our disponsary of tho Al type.' To do thiB it wob necossary for them to arrange it so that forty cases were treated at tho dispensary every day. Tho three factors that wore perhaps most potent in the accomplishment of this ideal condition -were: First, Miss Lillian Stuff was mado superintendent ; sec ond, a central location waB selected; third, tho dispensary was divided into departments, thereby making it pos sible for every patient to have indi vidual attention from a specialist and tho Btudonts in his dopartmont every night in tho woek. No better choice could have been mado than tho selection or Miss Stuff for tho position which she occupies as head of tho dispensary. She is on duty from 9 a. m, to 6 p. m., meeting the afflicted, assigning to depart ments, keeping tho roll, and, moro im portant than anything, she is a past mastor at keeping things running smoothly. Being a University of Ne braska girl herself, she BayB that the voryleaBt-Bho-cair-do-is-her-continual boBt for any of our institutions. Miss Stuff received her training in tho Chicago Training School, the Ens worth Hospital at St. Joaoph, Mo., and in tho Chicago School of Civics and Philanthropy. After serving two yoars as head nurse at Green Gables Sanatorium in Lincoln, sho spent throe years as superintendent of nurses at tho State Insane Hospital in Lincoln, where sho organized a train ing school for nursos. Later, alio spent a year abroad studying social conditions. Returning to Omaha two years ago sho organized and took charge of tho Tuberculosis DlspenBary. Out of this Tuberculosis Disponsary and the former Omaha Medical College Dispensary has grown our present Univorslty of Nebraska Dispensary, which Is splendidly equipped for the treatment of tho vari ous classes of patients. In reading over tho president's ad dress to tho now organized American College of Surgeons recently we wero BtruclnvltirthQ emphasis placed upon character as one of tho important things to bo looked for in a surgeon. -And-truljv-when-we-oome-to-conBider- it, it is an important thing an essen tial thing. A thing also which we feel somo of our "four years and a dl- fplomn tfon't forgot tho fees" colleges have rather overlooked in Tecent years. And again we may do prolld 6t our Alma Mator, for if the signs of the tlmoB may be believed and tho whis perings of tho walls trusted, that little sentence in tho catalogue, "Tho candi date for graduation must bo of unques tioned moral character," is no longer, if indeed it ever was, a dead lottor at Nebraska. Tho Devil knew as muoh as the Lord about the Scriptures it was his character that queered him. It does us good to soo that tho man at tho head of a group of such highly trained specialists as the American College of Surgeons scould consider character of such high importance in tho adm&men tarlum of the profession. A physician was badly hurt by tho caving In of a woll. Ho should have attended to-tho sick-, -and-let the-well alone. NEW PHI RHO HOU8E.
