LARGE OR SMALL HOSPITALS.
Each Kind Has It's Own Special Adj
vantages.
American Medicine.


Should the profession and lay benefactors
encourage large hospitals and dispensaries
exclusively, and thus extinguish the small
ones, or should the existence of the small
ones be stimulated and supported? The
question is not easily answered if one pom
ders well the tendencies Of the times and
the ever-present evils of hospitalism in both
large and small institutions. The difficulty
really lies in the worthiness of two views
the scientific and educational and the char
liable or social. The large hospitals and
dispenSaries are necessary for medical edu-
cation and must be kept up, because the
cause of education and the advancement of
science Is primary and fundamental. The
small institution is undoubtedly preferable
for individualizing patients, for keeping a
deadly mechanical routine from killing the
personal relations of DOCTOR nurse and
patient, and for preserving the self-respect
and gratitude of patients. In the large
institution there may grow up a tyranny of
subordinates and of patients which is as
unprofessional as the quasiprivate owner
ship of which the small one is in constant
danger. The establishment of a small pow
erty-stricken hospital by the egotistical en-
worship of his long name, portrait and
ghost is pretty certain to result in a waste
of money, an exhibition of Stiffness and
doing of evil. Beneficence and conceit do
not mix well. Is it impossible to keep the
large institution from being a soulless ma
chine devoted to the exploitation of ''clin-
ical material?" Is 1t not equally possible
TO preserve the small one from the abuses
of over-individualism? May the medical
politician and the selfish schemer not be
kept out of both?

Twenty years ago there was stir among
sociologists over the rapidly Of the in

feared that the negro was outpopulatfng
the Caucasian, and that in time the whole
South would become Africanized. Later
censuses have quieted this alarm. II should.
however. be regarded as premature rather
than baseless. The census of 1900 showed

the United States cannot be accused of a

secret confidence and for use in their own
