quets OF flowers The prizes then distributed The
next feature OF the programme the vaedctory all
| dress, which was delivered by Albert George Paine,
A. NJ. OF the graduating class The substance Of the
address is here given:
The universally Of the Influence Of medicine deter
| mines at the importance Of its training schools
Any defect in the physicians training, however trivial
becomes fruitful in evil when 1t reaches the question OF
| human life. The medical candidate at matrcuatlon
should present evidences OF welldirectcd habits OF
study should be disciplined in thought, ellgrounded
IN education Failure in tins respect Is serious defect
In the existing system. The nominal course of three
iractng process fatal to its thOroughncss OF drill only
about oneha OF the time being exacted IN attenance
at medical institution the remainder abandoned to the
hazard OF desultory private reading Still another fact
may be pointed out possible hinderance to perfect
| system-the multiplication OF medical schools Finally
nearly all Of medical institutions selspp0rtng
To hi treasures there must be crowdng OF classes
to avoid bankruptcy there must be competition ID cheap
ness S,lfpreservaton forces to dubious eXpcdlcnts
and here lies the root OF the evil IL IL only by the en-
dOwmen OF medical schools tnat the plausible excuse
for defective preparation aud hurried training can DO
removed Once free the schools may apply themselves
| successfully TO the training OF their students
