of medicine are directly interested in the 

 pedagogical side of the work. It may be 

 that at a later time I can write you addi- 

 tional information concerning our work. 

 I believe there ought to be a definite rela- 

 tion and there ought to be a pedagogical 

 training for those who are preparing to be 

 school physicians, on the one hand, and, on 

 the other hand, the regular teachers ought 

 to get some knowledge of psychopathic 

 conditions.

Cooperation between the pedagogical 

 department of the university and the med- 

 ical school is a thing very much to be de- 

 sired. "We have discussed the matter here 

 somewhat and a certain amount of co- 

 operation has been effected by the forma- 

 tion of a section on public health in the 

 State Teachers' Association, the activity 

 of which is largely the activity of the col- 

 lege of medicine, and also by the giving of 

 occasional lectures in the course of peda- 

 gogy by those connected with the faculty 

 of the college of medicine. A condition 

 which has interfered somewhat with close 

 cooperation is the fact that our medical 

 school is divided, the two clinical years, in- 

 cluding the courses in sanitation and 

 hygiene, being given in Omaha, and the 

 first two years consisting entirely of lab- 

 oratory work, being given here. Not only 

 are the members of the faculty here in 

 Lincoln engaged in teaching subjects not 

 particularly important to the students in 

 pedagogy, but the work already required 

 of them is so heavy that I do not feel it fair 

 to impose an additional course upon them.

A course in general hygiene given in the 

 medical department of this university is 

 open to all students in the literary depart- 

 ment, and is especially recommended for 

 those who intend to teach. Every student 

 entering the university should have a thor- 

 ough physical examination, and it would 

 be better if this examination could be re- 

 peated once a semester. In all depart- 

 ments of the University of Michigan ex- 

 cept the law department, all entering stu- 

 dents are compelled to take a thorough 

 physical examination. Any defects are re- 

 ferred to the physicians in the medical de- 

 partment. Students in the medical de- 

 partment are required to pass a physical 

 examination once a semester.

We have no courses in the department 

 of medicine of this university intended 

 especially for teachers or prospective 

 teachers. There is a teachers' college 

 which is a department of the university in 

 which instruction is especially given to 

 teachers and some of these students take 

 courses in physiology and histology in our 

 laboratories. Up to the present time the 

 above method, namely, of having students 

 in the teachers' college taking such courses 

 as they desire in our medical school ap- 

 pears to have covered all requirements.
