最好的地方当局的方法。不过，我们知道，英国医学会在就保险条例草案进行磋商期间，不愿意将医疗保险委托给当时的公共卫生当局，因此，即使自那以后，本港的医疗服务范围有所扩展，但医学界是否会因此而对市议会或郡议会产生新的信心，实在令人怀疑。然而，旧的秩序可能正在改变，新的感情正在获得支持。在苏格兰卫生服务委员会的报告中，除了两名医务人员外，委员会的六名医务人员都倾向于将苏格兰保险委员会的职能移交给苏格兰地方卫生当局，这一点可能重要，也可能不重要。现在来谈谈亚瑟·纽肖尔姆爵士在地方政府委员会任职期间的第三个重要影响，我们注意到，他赞同地引用了一个观点，大意是这场战争是“十字军东征以来最巨大的愚蠢行为。“在医学杂志上辩论这一点是无益的，但我们可以赞赏地注意到他对公共卫生方面的任何好处的简短评论，这些好处可能被认为是由最近的战争造成的。医学和其他领域科学进步的加强，对营养的新兴趣一直很好地维持，以及保护母婴生命的新动力，都是多年冲突所带来的好处。我们所说的许多话必然与已经退到中间距离的问题有关。对于许多第一手了解这些事件的人或他们自己在其中扮演了一个男子汉角色的人来说，我们的简短调查可能读起来像一个两岁的故事。其他人，也许是最近在医学上，可能会发现它的信息。但对我们所有人来说，不时地重新审视我们现有社会结构的某些原始基础是有益的，以便当我们试图将其提高到更接近我们所珍视的理想时，我们所添加的东西可以在充分了解事实的情况下建立起来，并因此而持久。
methods of the best local authorities. It is known, however, that the British Medical Association, at the period when the Insurance Bill was under negotiation, was disinclined to entrust medical insurance to the then existing public health authorities, and it is more than doubtful whether the profession, even given an expansion of local areas such as has taken place since, would have been inspired to a new confidence in town or county councils. The old order, however, may be changing and new affections gaining ground. It may or may not be significant that in the report of the Committee on Scottish Health Services it emerges that out of the six medical persons on the committee all but two were disposed to hand over the functions of Scottish Insurance Committees to the Scottish local health authorities. Turning now to the third of Sir Arthur Newsholme's important influences during his years of office in the Local Government Board, we observe that he quotes with approval an opinion to the effect that the war was " the most gigantic imbecility since the Crusades." It would be unprofitable to debate this point in a medical journal, but we may note with appreciation his brief review of whatever of good in public health may be claimed to have resulted from the late war. An intensification of scientific progress in medicine and other fields, a new interest in nutrition-which has been well sustained-and a fresh impulse for the protection of maternal and infant life are among the benefits dearly bought by the years of conflict. Much of what we have said necessarily relates to matters which are already receding into the middle distance. To many who knew of the events at first hand or themselves played a manly part in them our brief survey may read like a twicetold tale. Others, more recent perhaps in medicine, may find it informative. But for all of us it is good from time to time to re-examine some, at least, of the original foundations of our existing social fabric, in order that when we seek to raise it nearer to our cherished ideals what we add may be built with full knowledge of the facts, and so endure.
