In response to the letter written by Dr. R.A. Norton of Tacoma, Washington, addressed to Mr. W. J. Becker, and forwarded to the Editor of Pediatrics, I say AMEN!
Too many articles that appear in Pediatrics are of the type of lectures delivered which fully display the speakers' unusual knowledge of particular subjects but give the audience nothing to take home.
I should welcome more practical articles that may have application to the practice of pediatrics.
