ORGANIZED MEDICAL
PRACTICE SPREADS
President of American Association Says
Physicians Must Be More Than
CIIrers and Members

ST. LOUIS. Mo-, May 23.-That a
transition from individual to organized
medical practice is spreading widely was
asserted here last night by DIR. George
10. de Schweinitz, president of the Amer
lean Medical association, in his presl-
DENTAL address before the opening meet
ing of the annual session. That reform
of the curriculum of the under graduate
medical school is urgently needed, that
r1Iral districts are apparently being
drained of doctors, and that the public
is dissatisfied with q service which IS
devoted only to the cure of maladies and
the rending of injuries" were other as
sertiOns in the address.
DIR. de Schweinitz said recent IN
vestfration showed that properly con,
,lucted preventive medicine increased
the number of people applying to the
co-operating practitioner for treatment
and made his work simpler and more et-
fectiye. He added that rural hospitals
would draw young doctors to regions
where they were needed.
DR. de Schweinitz told of methods De
ing devised to keep country doctors 1
toIch with medical developments. IL
mentioned particularly state university
/ extension courses for this purpose.
The medical student must have
much more evenly balanced diet. thar
is provided in the present curriculum
DIR. de Schweinitz asserted.

S93 of every 500 raised by taxation
went toward munitions of war
either in the construction of eouip-
ments of warfare, the maintenance of
army and navy or the settlement of
debts of war-while only one dollar
out of every 500 goes toward edu-
cation. He also stated that the price
paid for one battleship was sufficient
to build, equip and endow a college.
Gel. Ship in his lecture declared
that the question of citizenship was
