Physician Says Conditions Ex-

Tolerated In Europe.
WITHOUT ADEQUATE CLINIC
Examination of German Stu-
dents Includes Actual Diag-
nosis and Treatment.
NEW YORK June 14.—Three-
fourths of th* medical schools tn
America would be driven out of exis-
tence if the lowest terms upon which
medical schools can exist abroad
were applied in this country accord-
ing to President Henry 8. Pritchett of
the Carnegie Foundation for the Ad-
vancement of Teaching. This is one
of the deductions made by Dr.
Pritchett In his introduction to the
foundation's report on “Medical Edu-
cation in Europe" by Dr. Abraham
Flexner which is made public today.
' The Carnegie foundation published
in 1110 an elaborate and fearless re-
port describing the conditions of med-
ical education In the United States
and Canada. The present a compan-
ion volume on “Medical Education In
Europe." by the same author Abra-
ham Flexner with an Introduction by
Henry 8. Pritchett president of the
foundation is based on a personal
study in IblO-lDll of respective med-
ical schools in Germany. Austria Eng-
land Scotland and France.
President Pritchett explains in his
Introduction that the foundation's
study of medical education In America
led to a demand for an extension of
the investigation to the leading Eu-
ropean nations. The bulletin there-
fore describes conditions as they now
exist in these countries and draws at-
tention to both their strong and their
weak points. Perfection is found no-
where but all European countries
make a definite educational require-
ment for entrance upon medical edu-
cation. and permit no schools to
teach medicine without the essential
laboratory facilities and abundant
clinical opportunities In President
Pritchett's words:
Theory But No Practice.
'Scandals in medical education ex-
ist in America alone. In no foreign
cc untry is a medical school to be
found whose students do not learn
anatomy in the dissecting-room and
llsea.se by the study of sick people. It
has remained for the United States
and Canada to confer annually the
d<gree of doctor of medicine upon
and to admit to practice hundreds
who have learned anatomy from quix-
compenda and whose acquaintance
with disease is derived not from the
study of the sink but from the study
ot text-books
These scandalous conditions are less
•' Idespread today than they were a
uecade ago; yet they are still to be
round in almost all sections of the
country even In the most cultivated.
The state of Massachusetts tolerates
‘J th * c “y of Boston the state of
*? ew J orlt derates in the city of
New York the state of Illinois tol-
erates In the city of Chicago the
state of Missouri tolerates in St.
Louia the state of California tolerates
in San Francisco so-called medical
schools that pretend to train doctors
despite the fact that thev are with-
out adequate clinical facilities. In no
European country is it possible to
find an educational farce of this de-
scription. There every school has
adequate clinical resources under
complete control. If the lowest terms
upon which a medical school can ex-
ist abroad were applied to America
three-fourths of our existing medical
schools would be closed at once. And.
let me add the remaining fourth
would be easily and entirely adequate
to our need. Managers of feeble
medical enterprises In our country
pretend that they are making great
sacrifices for tho public good.
“This hypocritical pretense ought
not to be permitted longer to damage
the public interest. No medical school
that lacks proper facilities has any
other motive than the selfish ad-
vantage of those that carry it on; and
no civilised country except America at
this day allows such enterprises to
• mpose upon the public.”
More Physicians Than Necessary.
The report after tracing briefly the
historical development of the mod-
ern medical school in Europe first
discusses the distribution of physic-
ians showing that in any civilised
country it is not necessary to make
cheap and poor physicians In order
that the country may have physicians
enough. Every nation that supplies
good secondary school facilities has
more physicians than it needs at
a high level of professional training.
The arguments on this point in the
former bulletin are thus enforced by
European conditions.
In spite of serious defects which
are frankly pointed out the author
finds medical education in Germany
still leading the world both because
the medical sciences are highly de-
veloped In the laboratories and In-
stitutes of the German universities
and because the clinical teachers in
the German university are university
professors appointed on the basis of
scientific eminence and not as often
In America local physicians who hap-'
pen to be teachers of medicine be-
sides. The German universities
moreover absolutely control the hos-
pitals in which their clinical teaching
Is given. These hdspltals are not al-
ways the property of the universities
but may be municipal arid private
hospitals In which the university ap-
points the hospital staff which thus
becomes the clinical faculty of the
university.
In Great Britain and France condi-
tions are In some respects even more
favorable to the student for there
students are more freely admitted to
hospital wards as clerks and dressers
a practice that is being introduced In
the United States wherever hospitals
make favorable arrangements with
university faculties. A startling con-
trast between American and European
conditions is pointed out in the
amount of clinical material available
for teaching. Nowhere In Europe Is
medical education carried on by any
institution without abundant clinical
material. Even In the small German
university towns like Tubingen with
only 15000 Inhabitants clinics of
600 or 800 beds are to be found. The
way in which these hospitals have
been so highly developed In out-of-

education has caused many who can-
not meet this standard to become
quacks. Quacks do abound In Ger-
many but the report points out that
this is due simply to legislation which
permits indiscriminate medical free-
dom. With practically no restrictions
any one may prescribe and sell medi-
cine in Germany. The prevalence of
quackery is not due to the high edu-
cational standard for quacks are most
common in large cities which are
most overcrowded with properly
trained physicians.
Medical sects such as homeopaths
eclectics osteopaths etc. are practi-
cally unknown In Europe. The laws
recognize only one type of qualified
physician and although a properly
qualified physician may call himself
a homeopathist an eclectic or any-
thing else that he pleases there Is no
inducement to do so where the sec-
tarian enjoys no special privileges.
