What Mr. Pritchett fails to grasp are two
broad facts, however: one, that large per-
centage of graduates in medicine never prac-

of itsef quite naturally in accordance with
the law of supply and demand, and that, of
all education, that afforded by medical
school more nearly fits the individual for I'M

of existence. We have had surfeit of legis-

that laws may one day be shaped to fit hui
mainly and not humanity forced to fit laws,
many of which are in absurd disaccord with
the facts of life and Nature.
Whatever the European physician may be,
the American doctor is a tireless public ser

average young man or woman than is the
ordinary literary college, and especially so
for the woman. Greek and Latin and higher
mathematics are we'll in their way, but chem
