EDITORIAL. 
The question of Veterinary Education has, for some time back, 
occupied the attention of the different members of the profession, and 
specially of those who, by their position as teachers, have been most able 
to judge the improvements and changes which were necessary to be in¬ 
troduced in the different schools. Wherever we look in the writings, 
which at different periods have appeared in the Veterinary Journals , 
we find that all the faculties of Europe have been introducing changes, 
which had, for object, a more thorough education and an increase in 
the length of studies. England has almost entirely revised its curricu¬ 
lum, and though it has not been without much controversy, we read to¬ 
day, in the opening lectures of the different English veterinary schools, 
that these alterations are looked upon as progress, and all the teachers 
congratulate themselves upon the admission of the new programme. 
France herself, with her thoroughly arranged and regulated course 
of four years—even with her internal political difficulties—loses no sight 
of the importance of her veterinary institutions, as an indispensable 
branch of her agricultural wealth, and we find that in the extract of 
the project of the Budget for the year 1878, an extra allowance is asked 
for the creation of two more professorships in each school ; and an 
extra sum of fifty-four thousand three hundred francs, is required for 
these chairs, with their adjuncts, laboratory, library, etc., etc.
