LACK Of MEDICAL
NEEDS DEPLORED
Work Tells of Scarcity of
Physicians, Dentists
and Nurses.

Popular indifference toward what
he termed the nations inadequate
facilities for educating members of
| the colored race in medical and dental
science drew from Secretary of In
terror Work today an expression Of
deep concern. With = single excep-
! tion, Howard University is the only
educational institution in America
that maintains Il medical school for
lists and pharmacists, the Secretary
asserted.
THE result is there is deplorable
lack of members of the medical and
dental professions, including trained
nurses. among the colored people he
continued. out of the present popu-
lation of the United States, totaling
approximately l06,000.000, nearly 12,-
100000 are co1ored. There is d white
physician to every 553 persons of the
white race.
every 3,194 persons The reason for
thus is not in the disinclination OF
colored youths to study medicine and
adopt II as a profession, but in the
| lack of medical schools maintained
exclusively for their education as
/ DOCTORS and surgeons.
Lack of Dentists.
| The disparity is even greater In
! the proportion of white and colorad
tentists. Statistics show that there
/ is one white dentist to every 2,07n
! hite peopl" in the United states
mile there is but one colored dentist
, TO every 20.560 colored persons. Gross
lHadequacy in facilities for training

slohal service is responsible for this
