Al Ideal Plan.
The Department at Raleigh has
| held to the same high standard set by
the original school. The effort to
dove-tail the two courseS-the
preparatory and the graduate-proves
the arrangement to be an ideal one.
The two years at Chapel Hill lay the
foundation, the two years at Raleigh
build the superstructure; the one has
to do with the theoretical branches
and the other with the practical; the
one with anatomy, chemistry, ply
siology, pathology and the other with
medicine, surgery and all their allied
branches This plan cannCS>but have
its benefits. No student of medicine
should attempt to apply knowledge
until he has mastered the details and
theories on which it is founded. A
first courses man has no right in an
operating room or hospital until he
can understand what is being said and
done. He will be tempted to mini
mize the theoretical and magnify the
practical, neglecting the former and
bungling the latter. But when the
two courses are separated, though set
on the same high plane and working
harmoniouSly, every one of the funda-
mental branches must be mastered be-
fore permission is granted to apply
the knowledge to actual experience.
Raleigh as Medical Centre.
The coming of this school to Raj
eigh has made this city virtually the
medical centre of the state, since this

students of the Medical College for in
struction. These hospitals are attend

of the best equipped and best managed
hospitals in the State. Charity pa
