Slip-Shod Methods of
. Hospitals Scored at
1 Big Surgeons' Meeting
Minimum Standard Explained and Urged by Judge
H.-'M. Stephens at First Annual Meeting
Of Nebraska Section of American
College of Surgeons.
Hit or miss methods in the con
duct of hospitals, in surgery, and in
the practice of medicine were scored
yesterday by speakers at the open
ing meeting of the first clinical and
scientific session of the Nebraska
members of the American College of
Surgeons ;rt the Fontenelle hotel.
More than 100 doctors registered, and
800 are expected to attend.
Judge Harold M. Stephens, direc
tor of hospital activities of the Amer
ican College of Surgeons, outlined
the program of the college and the
meaning of the minimum standard.
"The days when hospitals held
their, doors open indiscriminately to
all who might wish to practice there,
regardless of qualifications, have
passed. Hospitals have learned tiie
value of an organized staff; the value
of trained minds and exchange of
ideas in staff consultations and, above
all, more careful diagnosis of cafses
coming to them.
More Humanitarian.
"The American college, through
its minimum standard is succeeding
in placing most hospitals on a more
humanitarian and efficient - working
basis. Physicians and surgeons who
do not meet with the requirements
are eliminated. In the past three
years a majority of the 697 hos
pitals surveyed by the college rep
resentatives have come up to the
standard," the speaker said.
Dr. James L. Smith; Chicago, of
the hospital survey department of
the American College of Surgeons
described his experiences while he
was making ' surveys of hospitals'
collecting data to be submitted to
the college.

equipment; operations and cases un
recorded; careless diagnosis and un
organized hospital staffs.
"By instituting the minimum
standard, hospitals formerly oper
ated unsystematized, are on a more
efficient plane. Tiey have installed
modern equipment, keep careful his
tories ot every case and examina
tion." The speaker pleaded for more effi
cient methods in hospitals, not only
os a scientific necessity, but as a hu
manitarian nectf.
Other short addresses were made
by Dr. Irving S. Cutter, dean of the
University of Nebraska College of
Medicine; Dr. II. Von V. Schutze.
dean of the Creightou College of
Medicine, and Dr. R. Mitchell,
