sanitarium are inextricably interwoven. Students assist in the laboratories and treatment-rooms. Their laboratory training thus takes on a decidedly practical character. But this has its disadvantages; for the sanitarium is devoted to the application of certain ideas rather than to untrammeled scientific investigation. Disciples rather than scientists are thus trained. The outfit is adequate for routine work, with abundant practical illustration in chemistry, pathology, bacteriology, and histology. In physiology and pharmacology the provision is slighter.
Clinical facilities: Of the last year, 80 weeks are spent in Chicago, where the students attend St. Luke's Hospital, one or two other institutions, and a dispensary in the school building. For additional clinical teaching they depend on Battle Creek: in the sanitarium they see an abundance of chronic and surgical cases; acute cases are rare, and are accessible chiefly when physicians can ask students to accompany them on their rounds. The clinical laboratory is closely correlated with bedside work. By assisting in the sanitarium and out, the student gets an unusually close experience as far as it goes, but, once more, under the limitations of the therapeutic theories approved by the sanitarium authorities; a critical and investigative spirit is not cultivated.
The instructors of the divided parts of the school form practically separate faculties.
