ago to have demanded through the examining bodies thecompulsory practical study of, and examination in, thesediseases; until this is done the public will not be convincedof the necessity of lock hospitals and wards. The malewards should be open to clinical instruction. Female wardscannot be so open to students; there are obvious diffi-culties in the way which need not be discussed. Butunder stringent regulations advanced students previously totheir final examinations might be permitted to witness theexamination of a few female patients, which is all thatwould be required. The arrangements of the LiverpoolLock Hospital, which were described by Mr. Harrison to theDublin Commission, possess many advantages, notablythose of economy combined with isolation. The patientsare in a separate building, with its own surgical and adminis-trative staff, but under the management of the committee ofthe Royal Infirmary. Before it is again proposed to supportlock hospitals out of the rates, it is well that we shouldknow what are the present arrangements in our existingworkhouses. A return showing the average annual numberof paupers admitted with venereal disease, whether theyare admitted into special or general wards, and otherdetails, would be of great interest, and we hope that sucha return will be moved for.
