Editorial

THE editorial home of Pediatrics during the second year of its existence has been at La Rabida Sanitarium in Chicago. It is a pleasant place to live and work and the progress made this year may be due in part to the spirit which pervades this home. The prospect for the coming years should be bright. The arrangement came about by chance and the course of events.

Christopher Columbus, on his way to France seeking support for his proposed voyage to prove the world was round, stopped for a night's rest at the monastery, Santa Maria La Rábida in Spain. That night he met the Abbot, Juan Perez, and the Andalusian physician, Garcia Fernandez, both of whom approved Columbus' concept and persuaded him to return to Queen Isabella of Spain for aid.
