Abstract

<h3>To the Editor:—</h3> The medical services of the Army and Navy are justly proud of the superb health record of our armed forces and of the even more remarkably low mortality rate in wounded soldiers and sailors. Part of this magnificent performance is due, of course, to the efficient organization of the medical services of the armed forces. A large share has resulted from the advances in medical knowledge of the past twenty-five years. It seems probable, however, that the major element in the achievements of the military medical services is the high standard of medical education in this country during the past quarter century. The doctors now serving the nation in a military capacity are almost all graduates of modern schools and many have had excellent opportunities for postgraduate education. Unless the men coming into active service know the fundamental principles of medicine, have been taught to keep abreast
