Rockefeller Board
To Assist EuroDe's
Medical Schools
Will Help Provide Equip
ment and VIII Invite Bel
grade Instructors to Study
Here and i'll England

Announcement Of cooperative pro-
gram to assist medical schools in CEN
tral Europe, where virtually all uni
versities are without the requisites OF
instruction ordinarily replenished from
year to year, was made yesterday by
the Rockefeller Foundation.
The program will include aid in the
rehabilitation of scientific equipment
for medical teaching and research, aid
IN furnishing medical journals to uni
versities throughout Europe, and an
invitation to the authorities of the
Belgrade University Medical School to
study medical education in this coun-
try and England, as guests Of the Foun-
dation.
Details of the Foundations co0pera-
ton with the central european in
stltutIons are being arranged by
Colonel F. +. Russell, who has been
serving since August as technical ad-
wiser in public health laboratory organ
ization to the Czech Ministry of Hy-
giene. The activities upon which the
Foundation will embark are the result
of exhaustive Investigations conducted
by Its representatives in those sections
Of Europe most vitality afflicted by the
war.
In report just submitted one of the
officers of the Foundation sets forth
that proper cooperation now to rehabil-
itate medical instruction in central
Europe will be of inestimable value to
future generations. He says, in part:
"There are reported to be less than
900 doctors in all Serbia. Outside of
the army medical forces less than 1000
physicians are available to care for the
25 600, 900 inhabitants Of Poland Ad-
ditional schools arc needed adequately
to serve these countries, part rularly
those of the south and east.
"Thcre is a five wear interruption
Of medical training in Europe which
will affect the supply of physicians
available during the coming genera
ton. The instruction of adequate
numbers of physicians for the years
Immediately ahead is essential"
In all the universities Of central Eu-
rope the equipment glassware, rubber.
chemicals and apparatus usually replen-
ished year by yeaD, has Deen very
largely used up during the four years
of the war and the two years of dis
organized conditions and low exchange
which have followed the armistice.
The situation in Germany is some
what different, and that country is
adequately supplied with medical
schools and much scientific apparatus
is manufactured in Germany.
The greatest desire for American
90 British medical journals was ex-
pressed at every university visited.
The journals are supplied on an ar
rangement whereby the university con-
cerned pays in its national currency
at the pre-war rates of exchange, the
foundation making up the difference
due to loss in exchange.
1t has also been decided that fur
Their assistance will be given by lend
ing a technical adviser in the crgani-
zation of medical education and that the
Belgrade officials will be authorized
to recommend to the foundation from
time to time as candidates for fellow
ships in specialized postgraduate
medical study, persons who may be
under appointment or consideration
for the faculty Of the proposed school

to Mr.. Hoover's Christmas fund Tele-
grams from Governor Smith and Gov

also were read. The speakers were Mr.,
Hoover. the Rev. Harry Emerson Fos-

Hoover said in part:

900 for medical supplies and medical
service. While l recognize that our
own economic situation calls for the
greatest exertion on behalf of our own
people, during the coming winter, I
cannot believe but that the great pros
perity of our people still affords
margin above the care of our own
children and our neighbors' children,
sufficient to support this mass of waits,
destitute, orphan chill
dren.
"Surely we can devote per cent of
our annual outlay from tobacco, cos
metics and ice cream soda to saving
these human lives.
"There is in this chidrens problem
great moral issue. We are to-day
feeding enemy as we'll as friend. We

cate the passions of the last five years
