Sir: A significant concurrence ~

Lincoln will quite naturally at this
time revive the memory of that sad
event, quite in sympathy with the
ceremonies attending the Forthcoming
Observance of Good Friday, so solemn

our country.

Promising Signs

Medical social service, SO called, is
an entering wedge. Prenatal work is !
step in the right direction. and in this
field, happily, many physicians are
fairly awake to their responsibilities
and opportunities. In pediatrics hope
full beginning is found in the health
classes for infants and children. The
methods of some tuberculosis dispen-
saries. and of certain psychiatric
clinics are quite advanced. The sys-
tematlc supervision OF groups o. work
ers IN industrial establishments is an
other promising sign. Life insurance
companies are lending a hand by pro-
vidlng means for the periodic cxsmlna-
ton of policyholde But the fight
will not be won until the principles
and practice of health conservation
find place IN the medical curriculum
as a major subject, TO be pursued IN
tensively before the student is pet
mitted to concentrate on pathology
and the practice of medicine snd sur
gerry. as now taught.
Let me make it perfectly clear that
am not asking only for increased en-
phasis in the present curriculum on
the subject of hygiene, but for the
fundamental reconstruction of the
whole scheme of medical education,
with view to the presentation IN log
zeal order and in a we'll balanced
fashion of Cd the sciences underlying

the individual. and "a the diagnosis

by multiplying schools OF public health
independently OF schools

More Truth Than Poetry
By James J. Montague

No Chance for the Reader
I've read thousand tales,
guess,
BY millionaires and others.
Who always say that their sue
cess
Was due to gray haired
mothers.
Yet when these mothers fondly
said,
Good by; be noble, sonny"
They gave each boy a loaf Of
bread
But never any money.
The boys were noble, so they say:
Plain living kept them healthy.
They worked long hours for little
pay
And soon grew very wealthy.
They all allow that rather soon
They tired of vulgar riches
And longed to have their statues
hewn
For flames eternal inches.
They're all alike, these stories
are:
They never slept nor rested.
But hitched their wagons to
star,
AS Emerson suggested.
Poor boys they were, but bound
to win:
They starved, wore mean ap-
parel;
And soon the wealth came pour
ing in
BY barrel after barrel.
These stories have become my
bane--
I read them till Pm faded,
And always hoping I may gain
Success and wealth like thew
did.
III read them till I'm old and
gray,
Although know, dod rot il!
That not one will ever say
A word Of how he got it

( From Better Times

fFfoW Bctter TOnesJ
When the hospital reaches out into
the world to make the work of its staff
more effective by prolongng the good
effects OF treatment, by preventing the
recurrence Of the spread of disease.
or by improving the health and hence
the social wellbeing of patients, and
when nurses or others are emplovod
to aid IN the task, we speak of the
effort as medical social service" In
my opinion a serious blunder was MADE
when this type of effort was given a
name which separates it from medica
practice proper, for the work in aues-
tlon is not something apart from the
practice of meoicine, but is simply
medicine intelligently, efficiently and
more completely organized. Indeed, it
is my conviction that this kind of work
will never be fully or satisfactorily
carried out while it continues to be
regarded as something alien to the
strict line of duty of the medical pro-
fession itself There are involved in
this question the competency and the
point Of view of the medical prac-
tltioner, and these are determined by
the content Of the medical curriculum
and the attitude of the medical faculty.
What, in brief, is the nature of current
medical teaching?
Health Conservation
The medical student is first intro
duced to the fundamental sciences of
biology, chemistry and physics. Next
he is taught physiology and anatomy.
He learns what perfect human struc-
ture would be like. is taught that in
health the human body behaves thus
and so, If at this point one were
free to ignore the traditions of the
schools one would be tempted next to
direct the student to health conserva-
ton or preventive medicine If the
promotion Of physical wellbeing is
the aim of medicine, would it not seem
to hc logical, after familiarizng the
medical student with the healthy body,
to show him how, during infancy,
childhood, adolescence, maturity and
old age, the vigor of the human body
can best be maintained? Time would
be we'll spent in the study of the dan

Broader Medical Education

gers that threaten infancy. youth and
age. in all the walks OF life.
How many medical schools to-day
undertake broadly to teach health con-
servation? The space allotted to
hygiene and the various aspects Of
curriculum is almost negligible. Pass
ing lightly over these subjects, the
student is conducted all too quickly to
the clinic ana the post-mortem room.
And when finally, in the hope Of round
ing out his practical training, ne enters
the hospital as an inferno his mind
IS firmly set toward the more dramatic
phases Of disease and injury. In the
hospital fully half Of the time and at
tention of the inferno are claimed BY
major surgery-a useful, indispensable
and life saving art, but one which, if
carefully appraised, would probably be
found to embrace about one ftieth of
the potential usefulness of medical
science broadly conceived and
strategically organized and applied.
Outside the Curriculum,
On a number of occasions have
asked men engaged in the teaching of
physical diagnosis whether in the pres
entation of this subject it was not a
mistake to stress well-marked patho
logical conditions. These men have
usually agreed that much could be
gained by increased attention to the
study of che body from the standpoint of
health rather than from that of disease.
But they have usually maintained that
the medical curriculum is already so
full that 1t is lmpracticable to add any
thing to it. Nevertheless, it is notice
able that whenever a new, strange and
remote tropical disease makes it's an
pearance. some member of the faculty
Is sure to find the time to tell all about
It, however slight the benefit which is
likely TO result from its presentation
to group of students who are nre
paring to practice medicine where the
disease in question can never be more
than rare curiosity. Meanwhile the
teaching Of personal hygiene is left to
the public health organizations, which
have neither the numbers, the force nor
the potent personal influence of the
great body of educated physicians.
1t is my belief that radical changes

A Debt OF Honor

The unofficial announcement that
Governor Miller will approve the
state bonus bill will be welcomed by
citizens n general az we'll As by the
service men y is designed to aid. The
bill provides million dollars for tho
a'd Of disabled veterans of the
World War. More important still
the money will be available within a
week after the measure is signed by
the Governor.
1t is highly creditable to the Legis-
laturc that this measure was passed
practically without opposition. One
Of the most serious indictments Of
the last administration was its
neglect Of men who had lost their
capacity to earn living because of
injuries sustained in the war.
The State of New York will now
do for its own citizens whe served it
what the nation failed to do or did
neglectfully and incompetently until
the Dawes report awakened the peo-
pie to what was going on.
Payments are to be made Of $50
month to single men and $45 a
month to married men who have
been out of employment for fourteen
days. In many instances this will
enable slightly injured men to get on
sheir feet and begin life again
When the measure becomes law New
York will have paid debt of homer.

Work on Costumes

Joseph Urban, who deco
rated palaces and built
bridges in Europe before he
came to America to design
scenes for the Metropolitan
Opera, and afterward to be-
come production manager
for Cosmopolitan Produc.
tions, began the work of
recreating the period of
King Henry VIII, regardless
of expense.
Mrs. Gretl Thurlow, ia
nous as a costume designer
for opera and stage, was en-
gagged to design the cos
tunes, in which she was as
sisted by Mrs. H. Wheeler,
herself for many years a ia
nous designer of gowns for
leading Fifth avenue mod
istes.
The gowns themselves
were made by Giddings &
Co., New York. Further
more, three hundred and
forty costumes were espe-
cially imported from Lon
don.
For more than five months
the costumers and designers
worked, turning out count
less costumes, while a score
of assistants were constantly
employed during the making
Of the picture keeping these
costumes in order.

Majors Masterpiece

The largest set ever con-
structed, covering over two
city blocks, was used in the
production, and more than
5000 actors, including fifty
five principals, appeared.
Ever since there have
been motion pictures, pro-
ducers and stars have cast
envious glances at this mas
terpiece of Charles Majors.
But many things stood in
the way Of its being screen
ed. First of all the tre-
mendous cost that would be
entailed. Because of the
grandeur of the court life in
the days of Henry VIII,
whose sister Mary Tudor, is
the central figure in the
story, it was realized that
"When Knighthood Was in
Flower" would, of neces-
sity, be the most costly pic
ture ever made.
Then came the question of
the rights. Mary Pickford
had endeavored at various
times to secure them, but
failed. The rights for the
stage belonged to Julia Mar
lowe, who had presented the
story on the speaking stage,
. presentation, by the way,
which. launched her on her
great career.

Valuable Accessories

Three of the largest, mo-
tion-picture studios in New
York were engaged, and
construction of the big
scenes was started last JAN
uary. The rule that every
thing in a setting must
either be a real antique or a
perfect reproduction of the
period was followed strictly.
For instance, it took George
Henry, a French wood car
yer, three months to make
the elaborate screens, carved
doors, coats of arms and or
namental work on the state
coaches and barges.
