stricter Examinations Advocated.
The twelfth annual meeting of the
New York State Association of Rail
way Surgeons, held November 20, in
the Academy of Medicine. was largely
attended by medical men from many
parts of the country. At the afternoon
session papers dealing with the surgi-
cal cases which came under the obser.
yation Of the railway surgeon were
read and discussed.
The most important subject was dis
cussed at the morning session, when
DR.. Parkhill read q paper on "The
Mental Fitness Of Railway Employees"
which had been written by G.. Il.
Brown, Vice.President Of the New
York and North Pennsylvania Rail
road
The paper treated Of the necessity
for n strong mental as well as physical
fitness in an applicant for place on
railroad. His examination, the paper
said, should be as thorough as II Is in
the army To the soldiers activity
and endurance the railroad man added
responsibility and the men had TO be
ever on the alert and to act with quick
perception and clear judgment with
certain amount OF disregard Of self.
Former Judge L. l.. Gilbert, Of Pitts
burg, one of the counsel for the Penn
sylvania Railroad compared the rela-
tive qualities OF American and Euro
pean railroad m-n. From his observa.
tlon in Europe, he said. he believed
that the mental and physical fitness OF
the railroad men IN this country very
much surpassed those qualities In the
railroad men on the other side.
DR.. T. ID. Mills, n surgeon for tie
New York. Ontario and Western Line.
spoke OF the high standard Of the men
applying for places on railroads. He
said he had rejected only two in the
last year. whose minds worked too
slowly for the places they sought.
DR.. w H. Herdman. Of Ann Arbor,
Mich. advocated n system OF ezamin.

mental and physical condition once i'm

the train met with a number Of acci-
dents. so finally he examined the engi-
neer and found him suffering from pa
resis due 10 over-indulgence In intoxi-
cants. The engineer was retired.
President IT. +. Jack. of Canisteo
In his address said that the railroad
surgeon must be not only a good spe.
ciallst. but n man OF genius. a good all
around business man. and he must dis
play considerable legal knowledge.
