The King's Doctor Has Some Hard Things To Say About His Own Profession
Training Is Wrong:
Spurious Sanctity Of Harley
Street"
FROM the King's Physician, Professor J. A. Ryle, Regius Professor of Physic
at Cambridge University, comes strong criticism of the present methods of medical training and an attack on the "spurious sanctity of Harley Street."
Writing in the "Lancet" he suggests that the upheaval caused by the war should
be used as an opportunity to found a new system.
Medical teaching, he declares, was on the decline before the war, owing to the exactions of private practice on the time and energy of a teacher-consultant and the multiplication of sub- jects on the medical curriculum.

JOBS FOR LOVE
He proposes that every full mem- ber of a hospital teaching staff should be paid £500 your the State, with an additional £100 a year from the medical school funds in respect of tutorial work and lectures.
In return the teacher should devole at least halt his working time (three whole or six half days a week) to his hospital duties, care of the sick,

Surprise for Sister
"I could scarcely belleve it was true," Mrs. Day said:
"The parcel contained a large coloured picture of my brother and his son sitting at a table plied with gold bars. It was their own gold.

"It was really young John, Arthur's boy. He was growing up and was tired by the heavy work on the farm with nothing to see at the end of the day.
"They went out prospecting to- gether, Arthur and John, but at first results were disappointing. In two months they got only 2oz, of gold.
Then their luck suddenly turned and they struck it rich. My brother told me that for only 12cwi. of stone they realised £15,000. Their and is the talk of Western Australia."
