Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from The Catholic Educational Review, Vol. 11
Two very important decisions Which directly affect secon dary and college education seem to me, says Dr. Pritchett, to have arisen from this situation. The council has imposed as a condition of the recognition of medical schools as accept able an entrance requirement of one year of college work, this year to include the study of three sciences and a modern lan guage. Not only has the council adopted this requirement as a teaching measure, but it has enforced it throughout the United States, without regard to the ability of the school and college system to meet it. Finally, it has consented to recog nize pre-medical schools set up in the medical school itself to teach the three sciences and a modern language - it can all be done easily in one large room: chemistry in one corner, physics in another, biology in a third, and German in the fourth. It is very presumptuous on the part of the medical faculty to undertake to teach the rudiments of the sciences on which the medical profession rests, and as for their undertaking in a medical school to teach German! It is really surprising that the intelligence of the Medical Council would not have seen the absurdity of this.
