It was advisable, therefore, to place the Hospital in close proximity to the Docks, and to locate the School as near to the Hospital as possible. The School Build- ings were accordingly placed within the Hospital grounds, two minutes' walk from the Connaught Roart Station, G.E.R., which is reached from Fenchurch Street in about twenty minutes.

The premises assigned to the teaching of Tropical diseases have been built specially for. the purpose. The appliances in the School are of the most modern character, the

Laboratories being fitted with every re-

quisite, and the constant attendance of the Medical Superintendent and Tutor ensuring that all special diseases will be demonstrated and investigated as opportunity arises. Bacte riology and Animal Parasitology, so far as they concern the special Clinical work, are system atically taught; Pathological Anatomy is de monstrated in the Laboratory and in the post- mortem room as opportunity offers, and the most approved methods of mounting microscopical preparations, and of collecting, preserving, and transmitting important vegetable or animal specimens, are dealt with practically.

PROGRESS.

*The School was opened to the Medical Pro fession on October 2nd, 1899, when an In- augural Address was delivered by Dr. Patrick Manson, C.M.G., F.R.S. In this Address, Dr. Manson dwelt upon the lack of and the neces- sity for Training in Tropical" diseases, and indicated the methods of education which the newly-established School proposed to adopt..

During the first year 79' students entered their names upon the register. At the very out. set of its career, the resources of the School, which had been planned on a more modest (2064 estimate of its appreciation by the profession, were taxed to their utmost... Up to the present date, that is the end of its second year, 144 students have joined and already students of the School are scattered over prac N EXPERIENCED FOREMAN for a A Government Timber Mill.

"The School owes to The Right Hon. Joseph Chamberlalu, H.M. Secretary of State for the Colonies, who, with the object of affording instruction is Tropical Medicine to Medical Officers in the Colonial Service, invited the Committee of Management of the Seamen's Hospital Society to establish a Schoof in con- ection with their Hospitals. "

means

Is-accepting Mr. Chamberlain's invitation, and with the view of still further increasing the usefulncis of the School, the Committee re- solved to throw it open to all medical graduates who might wish to avail themselves of the exceptional facilities which it, together with their Hospitals, affords for the study of this particular branch of medicine. The reasons for, and the advantage. of, onlarging the scope of the School are apparent. Previous to its inception there were no adequate whereby private practitioners or medical missionaries about to proceed to the Tropics could acquire special information con- rerning, or obtain practical instruption in, an important section of the diseases they would be called upon to treat. Had the School been, confined to the training of those about to anter the Colonial Goverment Service merely, the usefulness of the scheme would have been much restricted, and the natives and European residents in our Colories and Dependencies, would have suffered accordingly...

The School is situated at the Besmen's Hos pital Society's Branch Hospital, near the Royal Victoria and Albert Docks, E. No. more suitable spot in Great Britain could have been selected, as, at the Docks, ships arrive from all parts of the Tropics in larger numbers than elsewhere. The proximity of the Hospital and School to the Docks allows of immediate admission, thus affording ready opportunity for The treatment of patients, and for the observation, and study of Tropical diseases in their acute stages, From the studente point of view, a more central position for the School would have been desimble, but as 'Lascar, Negroes, Chine10, and many others, object to burjaken far away from the ships they arrive in, and regard removal to a distance from the Doc with suspicion, if not with actual fear, it was necessary t

to sacrifice the convenience of the student to soms extent.
