232 ORIGINAL COMMUNICATIOJSS. Colet, is a name in the medical and literary annals of Old Eni2:land, of which his countr}'men are yet proud. Sir Thomas Elyot, Sir Thimas Browne, Dr. Arbuthnot, are names on the list of England's honored. John Locke, Crabbe, and Keats prepared themselves for surgeons, and Sainte-Beure, that prince of French critics, walked the hospitals as a votary of medicine. Current medical literature is of vast extent some of it worthless, much of it valuable. Bulletins, periodicals, papers take their place on our tables with the current fiction of the day, while the leading journals of the day are glad to number among their best contributors the members of the medical profession. The physician and his skill serves as the theme for the popular short story; the heroic in medicine, and where will you find it displayed oftener or in truer form, is the keystone of many a novel; and to cite but one instance of many, who has not delighted in the wicked wiles and varied experiences of Francois or the romantic adventures of Hugh Wynn as portrayed by the talented pen of our own Dr: S. Weir Mitchell. Perhaps one of the most important phases of the physician's influence is that which he brings to bear upon the educational world. Civilization with all its benefits to mankind, has Brought in its train numerous penalties ioi' new abuses and excesses. Medical science stands the mediator between the punishment and the crime, and in this respect its work is being recognized the world over. The fundamental principles of hygiene are better understood; bad habits are condemned, and the enforcement of sanitary laws is an accomplished fact. The scholar in nearly every school to-day knows the ruinous influence of alcohol and tobacco; is taught "that temperance in all things is Nature's standard;" that excesses of all kinds bring their consequent train of evils; and more and more our coming men and women are being impressed, both by theory and practice, with the fact, that a sound mind in a sound body commands the admiration and respect of their fellowmen and augurs success in life's ambitions. % Another essential relation between the medical profession and our schools is rapidly taking its correct place in the public opinion. Since June, 1900, regular physicians have been employed in Berlin on the staffs of twenty of the common schools. It is an advance step which ought to be taken by the profession in American, for the school interests and public interests are closely related, and as an important factor in the latter the medical profession should be profoundly interested in the fomier. The influence of medical supervision extends not only to the individual pupil, but covers the entire question of the hygienic condition of whole schools and school buildings. Matters of defective heating, sanitation, healthful environments, spreading of contagious diseases, and the promotion of the scientific study of school hygiene, all demand and prove the importance of having physicians appointed on the staff of our schools, as regularly as we appoint the principal or the janitor. Teachers have recognized to the best of their ability the fact that the physical and mental development of a child are so inseparable that one can not be considered apart from the other. Hence we have the addition of the kindergarten, the manual, training, the various forms of physical culture, to our school curricula. Yet, no matter how care-
