ADearth Of Doctors.


There has Just been completed in Vari-
Gus parts of the country the examinations
held at army posts Of candidates VINO
contemplated entering the medical de-
partment of the army as assistant sur
geon. There are more than thirty vacan-
cies in that grade of the medical depart
ment, and there is likely to be an increase
in the vacancies. There We're hardly that
number of applications received by the
Surgeon General OF the army from medical
college graduates all over the country
who were invited to present themselves
for examination, and of these not more
than half dozen have taken the eSami-
nation. Most of those invited 10 appear
failed TO report before the examining
boards. Others were declared physically
disqualified, and of those who have sus-
tanned the physical examination and have
taken the professional examination, it is
believed that not more than two or three
will be commissioned IN the junior grade
of the medical department OF the army.
This state of affairs is alarming. II
deprlves the army medical corps of the
officers who should be IN training for the
senior grades. An emergency need not
always be that of war in order 10 make
the army surgeons of value 10 the coun-
try An evidence Of the usefulness Of the
army surgeon in time of peace has been
afforded by such examples as the late
Dr. Walter Reed IN Cuba, and of Col.
William Gorgas, who is IN charge Of the
sanitary department Of the Canal Zone,
and OF Maj. jefferson r. Kean. who is
doing such admirable work at Havana,
Cuba. I'm charge Of the public health de-
partment.
The disinclination of young physicians
70 enter the army medical department is
not surprising under the circumstances.
There Is not enough reward in the corps
20 attract d medical college graduate who
has sufficient ability to pass the severe
examination. OF course. those examina-
tons could be lessened in severity In order
TO get in some Of those who are now found
disqualified, but this would be OF positive
harm in the end by filing the vacancies
with men who are rot UP TO the prescribed
standard. The army medical department
Is suffering from the Indifference of Con-
gress. The measures OF relief for the
corps are along simple and economical
lines. They represent a safe and sufii-
Client investment Of the public funds, since
the changes proposed In the army medi-
cal department increase the means OF
preserving the health Of the troops. and
so adding 10 their efficiency in the field.
especially in time of war. These are con-
sideTatiOns which. briefly stated, are en-
titled TO the serious attention of Congress.
