Improvement In medical education.
The American Medical Association has
been the leader In this work. and Il
annually publishes figures which show
what has been accomplished. Most
significant are tho facts that In 1905
there were moro than 10000 medical
students In the United States. while
this year the number 10 only $4,000.
We are only producing a little over
half as many doctors now rs we were
ten years ago. The reason is that the
educational requirements OF the pro-
fession are so rigid that only the de-
termined start; and only the competent
finish.
