TIE COUNTRY DOCTOR

The scarcity of the country doc
3or as a sounce of keen popular in
terest is matching the scarcity of
teachers in the rural districts which
has been met by consultations and
employment of specially trained "
teachers helpers" The country doc
tor is stronger in tradition than the
country teacher and his disappear
ance even by rumor is disturbing.
in the generation represented by the
grandparents of today the country
doctor was one of the greatest A
merlcan institutions. He carried his
supply of crude drugs in his saddle
bags and an exhaustless sunshine in
his face and his cherry words. What
ever he may have lacked of SCENT
ific attainment to handicap him as
compared to his town brother, he
compensated for in that rare atmos-
phere of fraternal cheerfulness
which no country doctor was with
out.
Patients improved when they
heard his horses hoofs on the road
All the people for miles around
were as members Of one big family
so far as the doctor was concerned.
AS the towns grew the young doc
tors chose to display their skill there
some because the life was less lab
orious, some because they believed
rewards better. The country doctor
of today is at the disappearing
point, largely because of his con-
sideration for wife and children. He
says frankly cash returns are sat
isfactory often, but that he wants
better conditions for wife and fam
lily than he finds in the country.
