vance of graduate medi-
cal education, for clinical
teaching on hospitals are
limited. This fact and
the fact that there is an
insufficiency of hospital
beds in Detroit are the
major reasons for recom-
mending a hospital under
Jewish auspices.

Do the Jews of Detroit view
the establishment of a Jewish hos-
pital with favor or do they dis-
approve of the project? A cross-
section of public opinion on the
subject has been obtained by Dr.
Golub from rabbis, Jewish social
workers, Jewish teachers, Jewish
architects and engineers, Jewish
lawyers and physicians and from
the regular contributors of large
amounts to the annual Allied Jew-
ish Campaigns. These opinions
will be detailed in the next install.
ment of the Jewish Hospital Sur-
vey, scheduled for publication in
the Sept. 30 issue of The Detroit
Jewish Chronicle.

Woman is stronger by reason
of her feelings than man by rea-
