MEDICAL nDucArIoN.
Demand for higher standard Of
Admission.

AhAAAAAohs
The Journal OF the American Medical
association urges a higher standard Of
medical education rs remedy for the
present excess Of doctors and inferior
medical college a dimlnution OF both,
says the journal, would scarcely be
matter FOR regret-indeed it would be
beneficial"
ITO furnish a modern medical training "
the Journal continues. 1t IL necessary
that the medical school should, first OF all
exact a higher entrance requirement in
order to secure students who can master
the modern medical course. The medical
school should also posses better buildings
better equipped Laboratories, better hospl-
tai facilities and more full-time, thor
oughy trained and expert teachers, than
were required twenty years ago. These
additional demands Of the medical school
require the expenditure Of more money
than can possibly be obtained from
| students fees. The medical school Of to-
day therefore. must be supported either
| by the state or by private endowment.
! Already twenty-five states, to a greater
or less extent, are supporting medical
schools. OF these twenty-five, seventeen
have thus far adopted ~ their minimum
OF preliminary education, In addition to
four-yesr high school course, one or two
| years Of collegiate work, including thor
ough courses in physics chemistry and
biology. These colleges, therefore, have
adopted a reasonable and moderate stan
dard which places them on 4 par with
medical schools abroad and have not gone
so far as to adopt the extreme require
ment OF college degree for admission.
THE strengthening of state university
medical schools and the adoption Of higher
requirements will doubtless have the ef
feet of forcing a number OF low grade
medical colleges to increase their equip
ment so as to provide modern medica
training and to adopt higher standards Of
admission, or TO 60 out OF existence"
