Marked Improvenent Noted in Ex amination Papers of Applicants Bix Years of Experience. The Commissioners' received today the fifth annual report of the board of medical supervisors of the District of Columbia. The report was submitted by Dr. J. B. Gregg Custis, president of the board. It is stated that there has been a marked improvement in the examination papers of applicants for licenses to practice medicire, which shows a higher standard of education. The re port follows: "The board of medical supervisors. in ac cordance with the requirements of the act of Congress, approved June 3, 1896, held eleven meetings dur:ng the year. After ex amination of fifty-seven candidates it granted forty-five licenses. In addition to these it granted licenses to eight practition ers by virtue of their registration at the health office prior to the passage of the law under which we are now working. The board also granted during the year licenses to three applicants to practice midwifery. There are appended tabulated statements of the work of the board that gives the names of the colleges and universities whose graduates have applied for the privilege of practicing medicine in the District of Columbia. Effect of the Law. "After six years of experience the board feels competent to judge of the effect of the law, and Is unanimous in the opinion that its passage was necessary, and that its effects have been salutary. There is no longer effort on the part of the traveling charlatan to prey upon our citizens, and but little danger to be feared that con tagious and infectious disease can gain a foothold in our midst because of the in competency of our practitioners of medi cine. and. In the near future, the board hopes that it may by co-operation with the judicial and police departments of the Dis trict government, rid the city of the few remaining examples of perverted profes sional skill and honesty. "The board finds a marked Improvement in the examination papers presented. which shows a higher standard of education on the part of the applicants, and, what is "equally as important, the teachings of the schools represented by. the applicants to be more thorough. and that our medical insti tutions are fully e,ltde to the advance of science in every branch teat bears upon the practice of medicine, ,rot Only as individuals are affected. but, aao, An it relates to the welfare of the commiunity. Harmony Pftvails. "The citizens are to "be congratulated upon the harmony.) which exists between its examining boards, .there not being any unfavorable criticismi on- tne part of any one board against thile ottiers, and all agree ing upon the atandaIY.fifad by the board of medical supervisors. wlh standard is as high, as far as profes$onal, knowledge is concerned, as that4requ red by any exam ining board in the untry, and which can not at present be ra ed. The apparent dif ference between otr standard and that of other boards depends upon the preliminary education required f!r matricdliation in medical colleges, and ,.we would suggest, through you, to the se al colleges in the District of Columbia that they agree on a basis of prelinnary requirements that will better enable us to establish reciprocal re lations with stats which have such re quirements formally prescribed. We do not believe that this will work any hard ship to the students, and will carry out the original purpose of the present law, which was to place the capital city of the coun try in the lead of the cities of the land of fering the best form of munipipal govern ment, sanitary requirements and educa tional methods. "The board has received four applications for licenses under privileges granted by other boards. which they were obliged to refuse because of the lack of uniformity of the laws and requirements of such boards. Estimate for Appropriation. "Under date of August 6 the board, through its president, asked the Commis sioners to embody in their estimates for the coming year an appropriation of $1,800 for compensation of the members of the ex amining boards, believing that, because of the arduous labor required and the mag nificent results secured, the District cannot longer, with justice to itself, accept the services of the professional men constitut ing these boards without compensation. "The boards of medical examiners have held eighteen meetings. Each one of these meetings represented considerable sacrifice of time and the exercise of the most con scientious and careful consideration of ques tions prepared by represenitatives of the several schools and the papers offered by the fifty-seven candidates. The benefits se cured were entirely to the citizens of the District, and not to the members of the boards, nor to the mnedical profession, which has voluntarily submitted to the require ments of the law, and for which they - are alone responsible, their motive being to pro tect the citizens from all dangers of creduli ty and ignorance. whidh seem to be a part of human nature. Without Comipensation. "There is no other body of men working under a law whrich exacts so much without compensation. Therefore, we, feel no hesi tation in making the recommendation. The amounts received under the existing laws from fees represent no adequate return for services rendered, and the fee system has long been considered as bad in its results upon both the municipal government and the Individual ipa.rticluilting therein..
