To the Editor Of The Tribune.
Sir: have just read with interest
the editorial Of November II captioned
Nurses and Doctors" The stress
placed upon the need for greater pub
lie aid in medical education Is, 1t seems
to me, misplaced.
What happens to tho graduate chem
list or engineer! He finds ready en-
ployment, with assurance Of making
living expenses at once. and q sure ad-
vancement With the exhibition of skill.
Similarly. the young lawyer can find a
place as minor In somc law firm or
enter 4 business or banking house,
where the use Of his legal training will
at once bring an income to balance
favorably his expenses.
What becomes Of the young doctor :!
Public opinion. both lay and profession
al. says he must prove himself by serv-
ice in q dispensAry if he hopes to be
employed in private. Does the dis
pensary pay the doctor! No. The
druggist, the graduate nurse. the So

mel OF tho clinic, even to the lowly
scrubwoman, can look forward to pay

These are few, and most of US ac-
