THE PEDIATRICIAN AND THE PUBLIC

AN OPEN FORUM

PAUL HARPER M.D.

Editors: EDWARDS A. PARK, M.D..

THE editors of the column thought it would be interesting to learn the ideas and possible plans in the minds of teachers of pediatrics, if increased funds became available to the medical schools from either the A.M.A. or the federal government, for the improvement and perhaps extension of medical education.

Dr. James L. Wilson, Dr. Harry H. Gordon, and Dr. Sidney S. Chipman and Dr. Myron E. Wegman, the latter two writing as joint authors, have been kind enough to comply with our request. The readers of the column will find Dr. Wilson's letter of particular interest, both because it contains a sharp arraignment of the teaching of medical schools in the habit of today, and gives corresponding constructive suggestions for change.
