High Cost of Medical Education,

President LOWELL of Harvard Uni
versity in his latest annual report
raises a question Of much interest to
the medical profession and especially
to medical students. Along with the
cost of everything else the cost Of
education generally has increased in
the last few years. In medical in
struction it has reached level that
to many young men may prove
prohibitive. President LOWELL calls
the rise in the expense of medical in
struction "prodigious." He adds that
it has reached point where I'VE
must ask ourselves how much can
properly be spent on medical educa'
tion and how much community can
afford to pay for it,
In the ordinary course it takes the
medical student sixteen years after
he leaves the grade schools to pre-.
pare himself for the practice of his
profession. First he spends four years
in the preparatory school or high
school, then four years in a college
or university, where he must COM
plete with credit studies in physics,
chemistry, biology, French or German
and history. Thus eight years are
gone before he is even ready to enter
the medical school. Here he must
spend four years more. After gradu-
alton he should spend two years as a
hospital inferno and two years in a
special hospital.
This constitutes highly expensive
course of instruction, but it does not
fully cover the ground. The great
extension of medical knowledge in
recent years opens up new subjects
with which the medical student must
keep abreast. This involves careful
and prolonged attendance in labora-
tories and clinics. In President
LowELL's opinion the problem is
so serious that he urges careful in
vestigation, and suggests that there
be inquiry whether, by improved
methods, the equipments of the best
medical schools cannot be applied to
broader fields OF educational service.
He would have some plan devised
whereby students now attending less
highly developed schools might be
enabled to benefit by the equipment
of the schools that are provided with
the best.
This is a subject in which the pub
lie as we'll as the doctors has a
direct interest. If conditions are
arising, or have arisen, which re-
strict access to the best there is in
medical knowledge the misfortune,
as far as the public is concerned, is
double one. 1t is misfortune in
that it limits the number of fully
competent medical practitioners and
it is a further misfortune in that it
would have tendency to promote
the already sufficiently abundant ac-
tivities of charlatans.

cause of the presence of JOSEPH Il.
WmENER's Duettiste among the can

Duettiste, born in France and sired

chaser in this country and was easily
the best of his kind for several sea-

Ireland and the Continent. 1t is a

George Wythe.
JeiiersOn's Teacher Great as a Pa.
tri0t as Well as q Lawyer.

To THE New YORK HERALD: One has
but to look at the signatures to the
Declaration of Independence to see how
George Wythe spelt his name. San
derson's biography of the Signers, a very
mention of Wythe being spelled with
two es. 1t runs his ancestry back
into the 15o0s and in none OF this tell
ing does Wyethe appear.
This biography does indicate, how
ever. that Chancellor Wythe was really
one of the great men of the Revolution
and before. Ask any man to name
the Signers and he won't get far be-
yond Hancock, Jefferson, Franklin, the
Adamses. and Morris. Not one out of
twenty will think of Wythe or Gwinnett
or Rodney or Williams-and of them
all Wythe stands out strongest as the
most intellectual.
Is not this fault of our educational
system? It used TO be the custom for
a generation after the battle of Their
mopyl@ to compel the Spartan young
sters to repeat daily the names of the
500 who held the pass with Leonidas.
The youth who was taught grew into
the father who told, and so on down
through the years. so that to-day even
your Greek bootblack can come pretty
near rolling off the list OF heroes. But
to our ffty-six Signers no attention is
paid further than to the few who get
into the school histories. Try Il some
time on your friends and see how far
they can go.
And take wythe, for instance. Here
was Americas greatest lawyer in his
age. lawyer who taught Jefferson what
he knew and who introduced hin, to the
bar a lawyer who wrote prophetically (:
"A young new law student has Just
registered with me by the name of Harry
Clay; he is studious by day but rois-
ferrous by night; he leaves me at 8
o'clock certain in the wisdom Of my
comments. but returns TO me in the
morning much uncertain: he declaims
more than he reasons, Is inclined to be
argumentative purely for the sake of
argument. and seems at no time sure
Of his position; all thie, ] fear, will
rise up in later life to sniite him."
Wythe was the first jurist TO decide
that claims by this country were recov-
cradle. and his firmness as a Judge In
resisting popular prejudice against the
law has always been the subject Of ad-
miration. When he died Jefferson had
this to say OF him. NO man ever left
behind him character more vcnerated
than George Wythe. His virtue was of
the purest kind his integrity inaexible
and his justice exact: he might truly
be called the Cato of his country, for
moro disintorested person never
lived"

Dear Coal Costs Railroad Jobs.

JOHN l.. LEWIS, president of the
United Mine Workers, proposes &c
the railroad brotherhoods an alliance
with his union to fight jointly any
and all attempts at wage reductions
for members of their organizations
The railroad unions may decide to
pool their wage question with that
of the coal miners, but if they do
they will walk into such an alliance
with their eyes wide open as to the
enormously important part the cost
of coal plays in their own chance to
earn living.
Nobody knows better than the rail.
way engineers and firemen that the
fuel they burn under the locomotive
boilers is, after labor, the largest
single item in railway operating ex-
penses. They know what it meant to
the roads to have their coal bills go
up, as they did go up, from $209,000,-
900 in 1916 to $673,0OO,0O0 in 1920.
when nearly eleven cents out Of every
dollar taken in by the roads went for
locomotive fuel.
But this is not all that the cost of
coal means to the roads and to the
workers on the roads. Nobody knows
better than the railway trainmen that
the greatest item of railroad traffic in
normal times is coal. 1t is the bulk
Of the business of most of the car
riers in the United States. But even
this is not all that coal means to the
railroads and their workers. If the
coal bills of the carriers were up
from $2O9, 100000 in 1916 to $673,'
000, 900 in 1920, think how the coal
bills of the industries of the country
went up in the same time on an an
nual consumption of between 500,
900, 900 and 60O.000,000 tons!
When coal is hauled in its normal
volume it makes work for all rail
road men, not only because of the
coal haulage itself but because of the
haulage of products from industries
| to which the coal goes for power
! But when the cost of coal is eXces
sive, as IT. is now, the volume Of coal
haulage falls to low water mark
where it is now, because thousands
of productive industries cannot op
crate at a profit with prohibitively
dear fuel. When coal shipments to
those industries run down or stop
and in consequence return freight
from those industries runs down OF
stops, train crews that must go off
the railroad payrolls all over the
country number tens of thousands.
When nobody has a bigger stake
than the railroad workers in cheap
enough coal to enable American in
dustries to turn out freight for the
American transportation system tc
haul, the hard headed railway broth
erhood chiefs may think twice be
| fore they form an alliance with the
coal miners to keep the price of fuel
so high that it will cost railroad
workers their jobs, as it will cost
the coal miners their jobs, just sc
long as the price OF coal does not
come down where it needs to be tc
permit industrial America to do bust
ness on the American scale.

Court of Appeals's Year.
Cases on the Calendar Quickly Dis

To TIE NEW YORK HERALD: The i'm
portant duties devolved upon the Court
of Appeals SO unobtrusively are dis
charged that the general public know
little if anything OF the industry and
painstaking care Of the Judges cofnpos-

On the first day Of January. 1917.
when the committee OF which / happen

were $50 cases on the calendar Of the

An analysis of the work of the year
beginning January /. 1921, and ending
on December 81 of that year may be
interesting, not only to the bench and

should be concerned in the proceedings

A Feeling Of Security


You naturally feel secure when you
know that the medicine you are about to
take is absolutely pure and contains no
harmful or habit producing drugs.
Such a medicine is DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root, kidney, liver and bladder remedy.
The same standard of purity, strength
and excellence is maintained in every
bottle of Swamp Root.
1t is scientifically compounded from
vegetable herbs.
It is not a stimulant and il taken in
teaspoonful doses.
1t is not recommended for everything.
It is natures great helper in relieving
and overcoming kidney, liver and blad-
der troubles.
A sworn statement of purity is with
every bottle of DR.. Kilmer's Swamp
Root.
If you need q medicine, you should
have the best. On sale at all drug stores
in bottles of two sizes, medium and large.
However, if you wish first to try this
