School. = Ethical Notions
u. Are Attacked
Ray G. Hubert of the Amer

)r. Ray G. Hubert of the Ameri
c. Osteopathic Association is now
on the war path against what he re-
CARDS and outlines as the propagan-
da being passed thru the newspapers
to help the doctors, who, as is we'll
known, are too ethical to advertise.
The following from the pen of Dr.
Hubert will show to what extent
the medical men have injected their
work Of free advertising:
"Medical Education of the public
is progressing fast. The world looks
vastly different to the ethical medic,
from what it did five years ago.
Cup to that time, the American
Medical Association had put out a
sheet Of clippings from which news
papers could gather bit of material;
a little news was made in connection
with medical conventions; the coun-
try doctor got his name in the paper
on account of births and few other
events; some health officers used va
rious mild propaganda methods
all those efforts combined were not a
circumstance in comparison with to-
days campaign.
"These plans Of the medics are
growing more numerous, more COM
plicated, more efficient. There is no
use in trying to stop them. We could
adopt some of them to advantage.
We could harness others and make
them work, to some extent at least, to
our gain. Some of this propaganda
is misleading, is false, is sinister. To
a certain extent We can oppose and
thwart these parts Of it.
"No matter what we mean to do
about the campaign as a whole, or its
various details, we need to know the
facts.
"The American Medical Association
itself maintains a far-fung battle
line, fighting both extensively and de-
fensively. Several of the state socie-
ties are supplementing this work.
Health officers and health boards of
states, counties, and cities are doing
Worcester Democrat and the ledger-enterprise. (Pocomoke City, Md.) 1921-1953, 1925-02-21

a1e in prospect. These are only sam
p es of the ramifcations of the eff
forts to boost and to use this lay
periodical of the allopaths.
"About the time Hygeia was
launched, efforts were made to con-
meet the A. M. A. with seventy or
more big daily newspapers constitut-
ing an alliance which should carry
syndicated health articles coming di-
rectly from A. M. A. headquarters.
Their editors also were to avail them
!selves of the opportunity to write or
wire to the A. M. A. headquarters to
get scientific facts in connection with
any news story which might show a
medical slant.
"By this time, too, a number of
state societies were getting up speed.
Massachusetts at least, was already
on the way with DR.. Frothingham's
committee to Investigate the cults,
and with the widespread publication
O1 us innings.
"At it's 1922 meeting, the Illinois
Medical society appointed a commit
tee to organize an educational cam
paign. DR.. James H. Hutton of Chi
cago then personally financed sur
vey to learn definitely what proper
ton of people were patronizing the
irregular practitioners, and why. He
believed that it would be easier to
raise money for campaign, if such
definite facts were known.
"It was this investigation in which
6,772 persons were asked, What did
you do the last time you were sick?"'
and What led you to do that?' The
startling results were published in
the Illinois Medical Journal. The Lit
cry Digest commented. Medical
and other papers all over the coun-
try had something to say about it..
The campaign of education by state
medical societies was on.
cat it's 1923 meeting, the Illinois
Medical society voted unanimously in
favor of a newspaper educational
campaign, and started to raise money
from it's members, by subscription, to
carry out the plans.
"A layman was secured to manage
the work, which very soon included
much more than newspaper propa-
ganda. A speakers bureau was or
ganized, which already has about 200
doctors as volunteer speakers, and is
still growing. In the two months of
September and October, 1924, in this
one state, 1913 appointments were
made for these speakers to appear
before various lay organizations, such
as Lions, Kiwanis, Optimist, Rotary,
Parent Teachers and women's, clubs,
farmbureaus and fraternal and trade

organizations. This was in addition
to the addresses which the lay direc
tor of the committee, himself, gives
on Meeting You Halfway and the
Romance of Modern Medicine
"The Illinois Committee also has
arrangements with four radio sta
lions in Chicago, one in Elgin and one
in st. Louis, for giving 140 ten-min-
ute talks during the coming year.
"The Illinois plan includs maya
zine articles, some of which have al
ready been accepted for use in num-
Der of magazines published in Chi
cago, which have combined circula
ton in Illinois alone of some $4,000.
GAS to the newspaper material,
of this has already been used in we'll
over 100 newspapers of the State.
Close cooperation with branch and
county medical societies is also a part
Of the program.
"Other states are falling into line.
At its September, 1923, meeting, the
Indinana Society appropriated $1,000
to provide accurate information to
the public by lectures and publication
as to what is being done in the med-
cal sciences and to aid the local medi-
cal associations in lettering condi-
tons in their communities One of
the chief things done by the bureau
during the last year has been the
preparation of newspaper propaganda.
and securing it's publication through
out the state. Of course, speakers
are also being provided for public
meetings.
"The Bulletin of the Ontario Med
ical Association, in it's March, 1923,
number, outlined a plan for educating
the public of that province, by means
of addresses before all sorts of pub
lie gatherings, and newspaper reports
of such addresses.
cit is interesting to note that the
sponsor Of the plan urged that abso-
lutely no reference be made to sects
or cults, or to certain other questions,
for the public is skeptical of our mo-
tives and will continue to be for some
time. They will look for "Niggers in
the woodpile," especially in addresses
given by the medical practitioners
$50 strong is the current that an
editorial writer in the Illinois Medical
Journal not long ago wrote, 1T may
be heresy to venture criticism But
he went on to offer suggestions for
certain plans to be used instead of
newspaper propaganda-and some of
these are we'll worth considering by
osteopathic physicians. He says:

ries every month some notably good
article which hundreds of the laity
