Among those whose Influence Is no longer felt In the public and private life of tho city are men who first knew At lanta as a struggling hamlet and who s|«nt the energy of their youngsr years in building one of the greatest cities In the South. They were men who grew old In the effort to make Atlanta the city It Is today, and after years of faithful service saw the shadows of life's evening gather with the con sciousness of a life of civic and busl nesa duties faithfully discharged. There are also many young men of the city—young men who were Just be. ginning to take a place of prominence In life and w hose prospects were bright —who have been called away Just as manhood’s morning was blending Into noon.

Be fore entering It I counted the cost, and, considering mine a righteous and just cause, did not hesitate a moment. I fully realized when the final Issue come out It would be between Dr. W. 8. Elkin, dean of the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons, and myself. I have unquestionable proof that he spent a good part of Saturday after noon In the office of The Atlanta Consti tution and The Atlanta Evening Journal An editorial appeared In both of these papers Sabbath morning In which It was more or less definitely stated that bedside teaching had been allowed In the wards of the Grady hospital. To such statement I demur; I most em- K Statically deny It. I have been a mem- er of the medical board since the hos pital was opened, and at no time ho* the medical board or myself entered the Grady hospital wards for syste matic bedside teaching. 1 append a sworn statement to the same. Dr. T. F. Brewster, for thirteen years Its su perintendent, and having entire charge of Ita Internal affairs, under oath stat ed that the students could not have en tered the wards without special tickets from him, and that no such tickets were ever Issued and that bedside teaching was never practiced. Can he be believed? "Dr. R. T. Dorsey, a present mem ber of the medical board, states under oath that ho was a student of the Southern Medical College for three years ending In 1897, and that Drs. Baird, Glddlngs, Nlcotson and Elkin were professors In that Institution and members of the medical board and not In a single Instance was he ever car ried Into the wards during that term. Dr. James N. Ellis, a member of the medical board, states that under no conditions have students been allowed bedside teaching since he has been on the hospital staff. Can these men be believed or not? "In Sabbath morning’s two papers a long letter appeared signed by A. W. Calhoun, J. S. Todd. W. S. Elkin and James B. Baird. I esteem Dr. Calhoun and his family too highly to enter Into any controversy whatever with him. W. S. Elkin, as dean of ths Atlanta Col lege of Physicians and Surgeons, ha* not surprised me at hla statements. J. S. Todd ha* not been connected In any capacity with the Grady Hospital for a period of twelve or fifteen years, and consequently he knows absolutely noth ing about the subject except by hear say. James B. Baird has spoken. Will the earth stand still? W. P. Nlcolson. In a letter, states that Dr. W. A. Crowe was In the chair and did not vote, but he Dr. Crowe, states that he was a party to It and had originated the Idea. Dr. Nlcolson should have had the can dor and manliness to have said that Dr. Crowe stated emphatically that he was opposed to bedside teaching unless the cal staff of the Grady Hospital. I have only asked for a parity of professors of the two Institutions. I am not willing to submit for a single moment to allow the surgeons In the Atlanta College of Physician* and Surgeons to teach sur gery exclusively In the Grady Hospital Rev. Elmer P. Loose, the well-known evangelist of Waukesha, Wla., opened a revival at the Westmlnater'Presbyte rlan church Sunday, a large congrega tion braving the weather tv hear the eloquent minister. Services will be held at the church every evening, beginning at 7:30 o’clock, until further notice. Dr. Loose I* as forceful and as ear nest as he Is eloquent, and great good Is expected of the revival being conducted by him. learn Is to watch patients. I think It's a good Idea. Dr. J. Ross Simpson—I am not pre pared to state my views. Give 8tud*nts Experiene*. - Dr. J. McF. Gaston—I am In favor of students getting nil the experience they can. The Grady Hospital Is a city Institution and tho students should be given the benefit of It. It Is done In New York nnd other cities, and I would like to see It done here. I might nlso add that I am In favor of the rotation system for members of the medical board, altho I have never been a can dldate nor do I contemplate becoming one. V. C.

CATHOLICS IN CHINA ASK REMOVAL OF U. S. JUDGE San Francisco, Dec. to.—When Judge LeSeur Wllfley, who presides over the United States court for China at Shanghai, and who is now in this city, reaches Washington to pay his re spect* to President Roosevelt, Secre tary Taft, his sponsor, and congress, he will find in the hands of the execu tive and legislative branches of the government copies of a petition drawn up and signed by* a great number of Catholics residing in China. The signers demand the removal of Judge Wllfley on the ground that he has condemned the Catholic clergy as dishonest. All of this, they point out, Ib in a decision rendered from tho bench by Wllfley, which makes his at tack a record of the United States courts, and. therefore, an official docu ment to be distributed by the govern ment. Judge Wllfley, who is a guest at the Fairmont Hotel, was asked about tho charges that he had assailed the Cath olic church and that he discriminated against those of that faith. He declared the charges were unfounded. “I suppose the charges ‘originated because of the fact that out of seven lawyers whom I excluded from prac tice In my court five were Catholics, which I afterwards learnM.**' HOG JOWL AND COW PEAS NEW YEARS MASCOT DISH Want Good Luck and prosperity all of 1938?

If you don't believe It, ask anybody who keeps Informed about such Important mat ters. Cow peas represent plenty.

The proposition Is an ab-1 think over the tfuestfon two colleges were equally represented, nnd considered It a dangerous proceed- Ing. Dr. W. S. Goldsmith, whom I es teem exceedingly highly, quoted from my catalogue of 1904, while 1 was dean of the .Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons, when tho quotation re ferred only to the occupancy of the amphitheater for clinical work which had always been allowed and which no one denied. I reiterate again that- In April. 1904, In a long communication to the faculty of the Atlanta College of Physicians and Surgeons, of which I was at that time dean. I stated that I had abandoned all Idea of ever being able to utilise the Grady Hospital wards tor bedside teaching, and that opinion was fully concurred In by the faculty of the same Institution and t specially by IV, S. l£Ikln, -it such teaching has been allowed In the past, why was a resolution of fered a few nights ago asking the board of trustees to *11otv ward teaching In the future? This of Itseir should stt aside completely all statements that It has been allowed In the psst. "The Institution that I represent pay* for It* own hospital, with the excep tion of a few patient* which the city of Atlanta has turned Into the Institu tion when there ws* an overflow at the Grady Hospital. The Grady Hospital Is surdity on Its face, and a4 one Interest ed In the welfare of the Institution which I represent, I say moat candidly and fairly that 1 will not submit to F until every possible effort has been ex. hausted to stop the same. "I have confidence In the wisdom the board of trustees." From Other Physicians. Drs. A. \V. Calhoun. J. 8. Todd, James B. Baird and W. S. Elkin, former mem. bers of the medical board, have pub fished a card. In which they vigorously defend the system of bedside teaching. Mrs. Nellie Peters Black, who has been prominent In charity work In the city and state for years, denounces the plan as abhorrent to decency and propriety. In order to secure a fair Idea of what the physicians of the city thought of the proposed plan of bedside teaching. The Georgian secured statements from a number of physicians, opening It* columns to a free discussion of the sub, Ject. The statements of these physl clans show that there are two sides to the question, many favoring the prac tlce of admitting students to the hos pltal under proper restrictions, -others protesting against the practice. The statements from the physicians reached follow: Dr. L. S. Hardin—1 have no state ment to make relative to this matter. I will say, however, that as far as my observation has gone, bedside teaching works well In other Institutions over the country. Just a College Fight. Dr. L. Amster—This Is nothing In the world but a college fight and 75 per cent of the physicians in Atlanta so understand It. This fight ha* been brewing for a long time, but this squabble has served to bring It to a focus. I have perfect confidence In the trustees of the hospital and know they will do what they think the right thing. This being a college fight, I do not care to take a positive position. Dr. J. S. Todd—Bedside teaching Is allowed almost everywhere anil seems to work satisfactorily. It works to the betterment of humanity, and should he allowed here. The objections raised are puerile. Dr. J. G. Wilkins—There Is no ques tion about the fact that thla Is a good nay to Instruct students, but as lo whether nr not the cly's hospital should he thrown open to private Institutions for thla purpose Is an entirely different question. 1 don't think the city should allow H. Need Some New Blood. Dr. I. T. Catron—It Is a good plan. All cities allow bedside practice for students nnd I think It does great good. It should be systematic, however, and the practice should not be allowed to nn extent that would harm the patients In the least. Only a certain number of students should be allowed In at one time. Only certain classes of patients and those whom It will not affect harmfully should be allowed to be ex. amlned. I favor the attitude of Dr. Kendrick on the rotation system of choosing member* of the medical hoard. As It Is now, those not on the board havo no authority. The mem bers of the board should not be al lowed to grow old In their places, Nsw Mood should be Injected all the time. The rotation system would work to the betterment of the hospital. Dr. J. A. Alley—It's the most un called for thing I over heard of. / crowd of students around a sick pa. tlent, with their note books out getting points, will certainly excite the patient and work an Injury. It Is liable to throw the patient Into a fever. In ty phoid cases especially the patient should be Isolated and allowed to see no more persons than Is absolutely nee. essary. I’m opposed to It. Dr. W. T. Blvlngs—I have no views on the subject, and It I* Immaterial to me what Is dons. Dr. W. L. Champion—Student* cer tainly derive benefit from seeing and noting coses In a hospital. I have seen the taxpayers, and I nm unalterably opposed to any kind of teaching In the wards; but, If such Is allowed, I have asked for nothing but that which Is J ust and fair. The Atlanta School of tedldne has no surgeon on the medl- the city hospital and supported by all this done In Baltimore and other cities. and 1 know the students have been greatly helped. And 1 doubt If such a thing Is harmful to the patients. Dr. T. J. Crawford—I think the stu dent* should be allowed In the hot pltal. The only way for them to thoroughly N. Braw-ner—I nm not suffi ciently acquainted with the facts In the case to make a statement. Dr. Edgar G. Ballengcr—My reasons for believing that the Grady Hospital Is not suitable for clinical bedside teaching under the present conditions are based upon the fact that ward classes should be conducted by the phy. slclans In charge of tho patients, or by their assistants. Such an arrange ment will be Impossible In the present Instance, because one of the colleges with a right to these privileges has no representation nn the hospital staff. It Is manifestly unfair to establish a cus tom In. a city hospital that does not extend to all the same advantages. Many hospitals In other cities open their wards to students without any deleterious results, but In every In stance, as far us I atn aware, the members of the faculty of the medical colleges enjoying such facilities are also In charge of tho wurds in which the classes are held, and but one college is thus connected with each hospital. All of the wnrd classes, no matter of what school, should have the same privilege of studying und observing the result of the treatment of any or all of tho most Interesting patients. The treatment given by the regular phy sicians would be not only of no value to the eclectic students, but would add much confusion to their studies and work. If representatives of each school were to utilise the same patient In clin ical demonstrations, the different sug gestions and plans of treatment Instat ed upon by the various physicians would certainly tend to make the pa tient dissatisfied with the particular line of treatment being administered and in this way might result In harm. In tho present situation I see no feasi ble plan that would eliminate these undesirable features, and at the same time promote scientific Investigations. Again I would Insist that ward classes should be held by physicians in charge of the patients, Divorce It from Bchool*. Dr. John Calhoun White—I believe that Grady Hospital should be divorced from all medical schools. A medical school Is not necessary to the life of a hospital, but a hospital Is absolutely essential, to existence of a medical school. Let every eehool have Its own hospital, then every charity patient cared for by them would lessen the number to be cared for by Grady Hos pital. See the point? Yes, let’s have the rotation system as to the staff ap pointments at the city hospital. It Is not fair to ask or.e set of men to hold the offices forever, however able or willing they may he. It ts not right to "ride” a free horse to death. Be sides there are others, I am Informed, quite willing to share the responsibili ties nnd assist In the noble work. I am opposed to using the city hospital for teaching purposes', or as un ad junet to any school or college, and ns a citizen anil taxpayer I protest against such a practice. Dr. It. H. Ktmc—Ward Instruction should be utilized In such a way as to benefit the student and not Injure the patient. If properly handled and reg ulated, such Instruction as every stu dent of medicine needs can be secured without serious detriment to the pa tient. To secure harmony and give Justice to all physicians of the city, no medical college or set of physicians should have a monopoly of or a lifetime right to positions on the medical staff of a city hospital. While the medical college* should have equal opportuni ties. the physicians not connected with medical colleges should at least have equal representation on the staff. They are entitled to such representation; It Is but Just and would be a balance of power to prevent friction and one medical college securing special privi leges over the other. The medical staff should he selected with equal Justice to all. securing the best physicians for the hospital from each class for a term of three years only In succession. If any of the present members of the medical staff are weary of doing 'charity work for nothing," let them resign. There are plenty of compe tent physicians ready to take the plaor, and do the charity work with pleas ure. Dr. A. O. DeLoach—I am strongly In favor of opening the charity wards of the Grady Hospital to senior medical student*. It will do the patients no harm, and will do the students great good. I Uvea for several years as In terne In the city hosnltals of Augusta, where students were brought in classes every day during the college year, and 1 never heard of any objection on tho part of patients, nnd the practice cer tainly did not Injure nny patient. Of course, the physician who has charge of the class would soe to It that pa tients wore not disturbed when too stek and that no patient was unduly taxed. Moreover, In a ward clinic patient* are never exposed In a manner that could he embarrra.SHlng. "Unfortunate Discussion,” Dr. S, A. Vlsanska—I am In no way connected with any of the medical col leges. nor am I a member of the visit ing staff of the Orady Hospital, nnd, therefore, In a position to give an opln- eotnlng from a fellow "on the fence." I think It very unfortunate that this discussion should tako place In the newspapers, since exaggerated re ports nro liable to be mode. Certainly (he situation Is not thoroughly under stood. The Idea of saying that the 633 students attending the colleges here would want or bu permitted to visit the wards at one time Is preposterous. No explanation was made as to how this was done and the report must have spread like wildfire, because laymen have been writing articles condemning such a procedure. Could you get 600 students Into a ward at one time, tf you wanted to? Would the professors ildnk of permitting such a thing? Bet ter move the asylum at Mtlledgevllle to Decatur, where we can havo a foolish house nenrer at hand In caso of emer gency. No one explained nt first thnt the students In the graduating class are allowed to witness operations and curried In sections thru the wards I attended the Hnuth Carolina Med teal College nnd the professors of this college compose the visiting staff of the city hospital. We attended medical and surgical clinics twice a week at the hospital nnd wore carried thru tho w ards whenever the professors had any cares of Interest that they did not bring Into the clinic. During my student day* and afterwords as house surgeon and physteinn, If ever there were any complaints nn the part of patients. I never heard of It. The Instruction re ceived In this manner was most bene fieial, nnd I am sure that tho hearts of the Charleston people are as tender for their unfortunate* as they are In At lanta. Fortunately, we had only ono medical college In cession during the winter months. A few year* ago summer school of medicine was aturt- c*l and the professors of this school hud charge of the hospital during the sum mer months, and their students had tho same privileges as the students of the South Carolina Medical College. “Stop ths Wrangling,” This controversy hero looks to hke a war between the colleges, which 1* very unfortunate, as people outside of Atlnnta rend the papers.
