The army of young physicians throughout the country now waiting for a bald spot on their heads--and for the practice that is supposed to come with it--will doubtless hear with interest of Russia's summary plan for preventing a surplus of doctors.. By a recent decree of the Russian minister of education the admission of first year students to the medical colleges of the empire is limited to a fixed number. The University of Moscow is limited to 250, Kiev to 200, Kharkov to 175, Dorpat to 150, Warsaw to 100, Tomsk to 120 and Kasan to 100. This limits the number of students allowed to take up the study of medicine to about 1,000 a year. The number seems small for so great an empire, especially in view of the unlimited output of American medical colleges, but it is by no means certain that the autocratic Russian idea is an unmixed evil. ◘
