Well, that is exactly what is wanted to win the Nex 
Men are wanted ; but even more than men, oie of men 
are required. We want generals and particularly A General. 
The army of the Medical Profession is an undisciplined army 
without unity of command. This is eminently true of that 
branch of it which is concerned with research. In this force 
each individual works on his own ; there is not enough platoon 
and company training ; there is little esprit de corps. One man 
hurries into print because he has done a little piece of work, 
another hastens to let the world know that he has made a 
particular discovery first. A body run on these lines is a 
not an army; the leaders, if there are any, are the 
men who shout the loudest, who beat the big drum ; they are 
often not the men who do the best work. The system of 
publishing papers in a unlimited list of journals and, that 
veiled form of advertising, the systematic distribution of 
reprints, calls for reform. The publication of carefully prepared 
reviews within recent years has made these methods o 
and work them in teams. rogress in medicine is so rapi 
now-a-days and the field of work is so extensive that post- 
graduate study is essential. I am of opinion that any credit 
for successful work should go - the post-graduate school, 
not to the individual men who do the work. The units in 
the Army do their work, not for i ee aa LR but for their 
regiment. Of course, in exceptional circumstances, an indivi- 
dual may be rewarded bu t the reward Gcakis come through 
his school and not through the press. The men in the school 
and those scholars who show the greatest aptitude for a 
er line of work should be selected for that work.
