Choice of Family Physician Is Important

least four years Of thorough train
ing?
There was a time when there were
more medical schools in the United
States than in all the rest Of the
world We had almost 200 medical
schools in this country around 1900.
Today. there are fewer than eighty
medical colleges in the United States
and the vast majority Of these are
rated as Class A by the council on
medical education and hospitals Of
the American Medical Association.
a Glass A college is one with a
certain definite number Of full-time
teachers and with a well-established.
graded curriculum.
II requires at least two years OF
college education previous TO med
icine, four years Of medical educa-
ton Of approximately nine months
each, and one or two years OF in
terneship after graduation before
the prospective physician can get
his diploma.
In subsequent articles I shall dis
cUss in more detail the choosing OF
the family physician.
Next: The qualifications your
family doctor should have.

TOO MANY CLOSED BANKS

{ 'LOSED banks are not being opened quickly
enough. As a result. much needed mass
purchasing power IS withheld The Com
mttee for the Nation and other organiza-
tons report that business revival is tagging
specially in communities where unfavorable
banking conditions exist.
No one is asking for the opening Of IN
sound banks Unsafe institutions should be out
But a large number Of the closed banks
have had their reorganization plans approved
by proper governmental authorities In such
cases either red tape. or unnecessary DELAY in
detail work. is postponing eventual opening
of the banks
In commercial banks alone about two and
half billion dollars in deposits are frozen
Though the government is proud Of having cut
the figure in half from the peak OF five billions
the balance remains far too large for the eco
nomio health Of the country.
Not only are these frozen deposits held out
OF circulation, but almost as bad is the state of
fear and uncertainty which spreads from the
closed banks to infect entire communities.
OF course ali this is well known TO govern
ment officials. But most of them have been
very busy with other problems It is to be
hoped that they can concentrate soon on the
quick reopening Of all sound banks.
