New YORK.

New York, Oct. 26.-On the first of
the coming month this city is to inaug-
urate radical change In the appoint-
ment of medical boards for hospitals
Ihe commissioners of charities and
corrections have decided to appoint In
future for visiting and consulting ply
sicians the house staffs not being in
cluded under the term medical board,
only men who are recommended by the
different medical colleges Of the city.
This practice has prevailed at Bellevue
hospital since 1882, and has proven very
successful. Commissioner Porter has
expressed the opinion that the ability of
the colleges to select competent physi-
clans exceeds that of the commission
ers. and adds that Harvard college,
the University of Pennsylvania and
other out of town universities will also
be consulted. The success of this
scheme would mean It's adoption in all
the principal cities of the country.
