The Future of Post-Graduate Teaching in London.

Demonstration and Lecture: " Modern Treatment of Diseases of the Rectum." Friday, July 4.-Demonstration in X-ray Department of Barium Enemata. Lecture: "Diathermy in Rectal Work." Out-patient Demonstration. Saturday, July 5.-Operations and Lecture: " Difficulties and Dangers of Surgical operations on the Colon." Outpatient Demonstration. Similar and equally popular classes are running in connection with the Fellowship of Medicine at the Heart Hospital, the Hospital for Diseases of the Chest at Brompton, St. John's Hospital for Diseases of the Skin, and in other special subjects, such as nervous diseases, diseases in children, orthopedics, diseases in women, radium treatment of cancer, &c. The popularity of these special demonstrations has steadily increased, and they are now easily the most popular feature of London post-graduate teaching. I am of opinion that post-graduate teaching in special subjects at special hospitals or departments is going to prove to be the really important feature of post-graduate study in the near future, and I am sure that London is able to afford facilities in this respect that are unrivalled in any other city in the world.
