Public health nursing is one of the first of the latter courses that should be considered. There should be a public health nurse in every county, and the medical school should train the women for these positions. They should be apostles of health and expounders of medical knowledge in the homes and schools of the people, just as the county agricultural agents are the teachers of better agriculture and animal husbandry in the fields and stables.

The medical school, though located at Kansas City, might well offer popular courses at Lawrence and even at Manhattan for future teachers, for home economics students, indeed for any and all students. Funds should be available for extension work among both the doctors and the laity of the State. “The State-wide campus" is certainly the ideal of the modern State-supported medical school, as it is of the agricultural college or the school of education.

The University of Kansas might canvass the question of dental education; and if there is need, dentistry might be developed as part of the greater medical school. It is a mistake alike of State policy and of educational policy to have dentistry independent of medicine. This does not mean that every dentist should have the complete training of a physician, but it does mean that both professions are founded on the same sciences and should be taught in the same laboratories and clinics. The development of a unified out-patient department, including medicine, dentistry, and social service, might well be considered.

The University of Kansas has a good opportunity in medical education. It need not try to rival Johns Hopkins and Harvard Universities all at once. It needs time. It needs boosting instead of knocking, harmony instead of jealousy, cooperation instead of petty criticism. I believe the time is ripe for a big forward movement.
