EDUCATION OF DENTISTS HERE ON HjGHPLANE Exact Highest Preliminary Training Requirement for Matriculation. By HIS. HARVEY J. KKIIVRT Director of The Dental Dispensary Dean of Clinical Ifc-ntislry The dental profession not only in this country but throughout the world is deeply interested in the scheme for the education of dentists as outlined in tli plan of organization of the School of Medicine and Dentistry of the University of Rochester. This plan is different from that of any olher dental teaching institul'oa because, first of all, it exacts the highest preliminary educational requirement for matriculation three years of an approved an course, the same as the medical requirement for en-j trance.

In the first two year of the professional course the dental student will take practically the ame course of instruction as that prescribed for the medical student and all of these subiects will be pursued at the School of Medicine and Dentistry in Crittenden boulevard. At the end of the second year, when the medical student begins his practical medical training in the hospital and other places, the dental student will go to the Rochester IVntal Dispensary for two years of practical dental teaching and technical experience. The unusual advantages which the dental student will have at the school of Medicine and lVntistry for chaining a knowledge of medical subjects will go a long way toward developing denial diagnosticians of very high order and will he of great assistance to the practitioner of medicine in the diamonds of doubtful and obscure cases.

RESEARCH IN FORE Inquiry Into New Realms Aids Professors as Well as Science. By DK.

C.EORC.K II. WHIPPLE Deau, School of Medicine and Dentistry Professor of Pathology The activities of a school of medicine and dentistry of this sort cover three main divisions: (1) The professional supervision of hospital care of patients and co-operation in every way with public health work; (2) routine teaching of undergraduate students, graduate students and junior staff members including internes and nurses; (3) investigation of some of the multitude of unknown factors in disease or research work in physiology, chemistry, medicine, surgery and related subjects. The new school building was planned to secure the best facilities for carrying on all those essential activities. The teaching of professional students in medicine has undergone a slow evolution from the Urn when studeints were apprentices to physicians and after certain periods took up practice ou their own. Fifty years ago ainio-t all instruction was by qieans of formal lectures and demonstrations, the students having hut little opportunity to do things for themselves and observe fundamental reaction of the body.

During the past twenty years there ha been extensive development of laboratory facilities and for that reasou teaching is entirely different. Learn Through Doing. The effort in a great many schools to-day is to give the student proper facilities to do things for themselves in the various student laboratories and in this fashion get knowledge at first hand by experiments which they carry through, rather than to rely wholly upon some didactic statement of a professor. It ix thought that this new method develops a higher grade of physician capable of doing and i thinking by himself and uot relying noon hooli which ill medicine is changing constantly as i new facts are being added from year to year. This plant hits been built with particular attention to laboratory space for the teaching of students.

Practically all teaching in this school is done in very small groups of three to six students working together or doing laboratory work by themselves. Teachers are available to direct their work, to answer questions and to qui them on the results. Very few formal lectures are given. Under such cir-ciimstaneei a student must become self-reliant or fail. This type of teaching calls for large numbers of teachers and is therefore exjiensive.

I The school staff is made up of i twenty-nine pre-clinical teachers al-jmost all of whom give their full time 'to the work of the school, and seventy-jfour clinical teachers of which thirty-lone give their entire time to the work of the fchool and hospital. Therefore at present the number of teachers outnumbers that of students considerably. This plant was built for a maximum of seventy-five students per class, that is. a total registration of i three hundred. At present the second I year class number twenty-four and I the first year class twenty-nine.

It is planned to increase this number slowly to the maximum allowing the teaching stuff to be built up gradually ja the classes increase in size, i In the clinical teaching in medicine, suruerv. pediatrics and olmtetrics and gynecology the same principles are carried through and the teaching of (students is done in very smail groups ior individually. There 'are facilities (too for the students to carry out the routine laboratory examinations of imnteria's like urine, blood and feces (obtained from patients under observation. In this school the students spend their entire third jeer in the ihosoitn! learning physical diagnosis. history taking and simple clinical methods.

DR. SIMON FLEXNER. A welcome to the School of Medi cine and Dentistry of the University of Rochester is an institution of the highest order is expressed by Dr. Simon Flexner, director of the Rockefeller Institute of Medical Research. Hit statement follows: "The new Medical School of the University of Rochester has been fortunate in having been rrenred anew, ant nave been established at a period when scientific medicine is be ing pursued with unprecedented vigor.

The new school ha no traditions of the pa, and hence it enters upon its tasks with unimpaired vitality. Fortunately also it bus been endowed generously, so that with a staff con-spieuotm for its contributions to many branches of medical science, it may look forward hopefully to the train ing of investigators, the increase of knowledge, and the production an unending series of eomixtent physicians and surgeons.
