was strapped 10 cot given an anacsthetic
and operated on in spite OF her threats and
resistance. She declared that if she survived
the operation she would sue the hospital for
damages. In order to render the threat in
valid, the hospital staff obtained a signed
statement from her relatives agreeing 10 re-
lieve the hospital Of any responsibility in the
matter.
The case is so extraordinary that it raises
the question as TO what constitutes an injury
Usually il is an INJURY TO allow any one to
die from neglect At the same time how
ever, many wOuld-be suicides stopped i'm the
performance OF the act have protes,e ed bitterly
and with sense Of suffering injustice But
the present case stands by itself So far as
we can ascertain, no damage suit has ever
before been threatened or brought for the
saving Of life.
1t shows that all things are merely rela-
tive. Life, which is precious possession to
most OF us, Is burden and curse to the
world-weary. Most of the world denlores it's
poverty and dreams OF wealth but cyerv

physicians before it is safe to trust him to
treat the great variety of cases which come
to the practitioner when he hangs up his
shingle. Law, in contradistinctlon to medi-
cine. seldom witnesses tyro handling an i'm
portant case. Unfortunately, in medicine
the tyro's first case may be of extreme gravity
and difficulty.
Not so many years ago man could grad
uate from medical schools in year. Then
came the required two-year period, then the
three-year and the four-year periods. Now
we are to have the five-year course. Since
the death rate has been pretty steadily fall
ing for some years past it is likely that the
constantly improved traiuing of American
surgeons and physicians is having its effect
The standard Of the profession in this coun-
try is very high. In fact, the American medi-
cal profession is in many respects the best in
the world. And in the whole country there
is probably no medical center superior to

Raising Medical Standards

7 EGlSLATlON will probably require a five
IL year medical course in New York before
long. Fhys1ciahs wishing TO enter the SER
vice of the New York Department of Health
Will be required 10 take one wear in hospital
work in addition 10 the regular four years of
study in q medical school. 1t is believed that
the regents OF the State university will adopt
the five years course
This step has long been expected in 1ncdi-
cal circles. and if New York requires five
years, 1t is likely that other States will fall
in line. The fact is recognized these days
that medicine is complicated and difficult
art, and that the average graduate is not fit
to enter on the practice Of medicine imme-
dtately upon leaving college. He requires a
preliminary term OF hospital practice under

Steel Trust Decision Approved

7 n its essentials. the decision Of the United
1 States District Court for the district Of
New Jersey, whereby the governments appli-
cation for the dissolution Of the United States
Steel Corporation Is denied, will receive gem
cral approval. The country agrees with the
court that mere size is neither the measure
or monopoly and trade restraint nor the
necessary indication of business depravity
So long as the steel trust does business
legiimately and with due regard for the
rights of the public and Of it's business COM
pelltors. the public is not concerned with the
fact that it is the biggest corporation of it's
KIND III the country or in the world. Much
smaller corporations may restrain trade far
more harmfully and do larger injury TO the
legitimate business interests of America
The court in its decision seems to have as
sumed that some pages of the trusts earlier
history were marred with clear violations of
the law, but these acts antedated the filing
OF the suit by the Acknowledgement of the
Taft administration. AS the company is
operated to-day, the court rules it keeps
within the Federal statutes. Obviously, It is
not particularly hurtful to some of its rivals
in business, for they have prospered and
grown more rapdiy-in comparative sense
than the trust itself
On the whole, the decision is helpful and
encouraging. The rule Of reason" laid
down by the Supreme Court is applied sue
cessfully and benevolently Few in this
country want corporations oppressed or
harried merely because they are big wealthy
and profitable. Public sentiment only de-
mands that all corporations whether great
or small, shall keep within the letter and the
spirit of the law.
