sponsible for the welfare of two
hundred million people. Along
with protecting the public health,
the chief duty of the Ministry is
the training of health personnel—
physicians, dentists, pharmacists,
nurses, and various assistants. In
1941 there were 130,000 students,
75% of whom were women. It is
interesting to note that 50% of the
practicing physicians in Russia at
present are women, and Dr. Sieg-
erist expects a majority of women
doctors in the future. The Peo-
ple’s Ministry also supplies all med-
ical equipment—hospitals, instru-
ments, apparatus, and drugs. Thus
it controls the entire medical in-
dustry as well as all preventive,
diagnostic, and curative services.
The base of the pyramid that is
the Russian health administrative
system is formed by hundreds
thousands of small committ
wherever people get together for
work. “The battle against dis-
ease must be fought by the peo-
ple themselves,” asserted Dr. Sig-
erist. “Health cannot. be forced on
them.” Skills of persons.who had
Red Cross and first aid training
during the war are being utilized

in*the. formation of health com-|

mittees in apartment houses, fac-
tories, and on farms.

Cost of the program has rested
with the Consolidated State Bud-
get since 1927. Farm income, gov-
ernment subsidies, and social in-
surance funds take care of extra-
ordinary expenses and pensions.

Successful Athle

The winter’s athletic season has
been an exceptionally successful
one. Badminton, swimming and
fencing teams have lost only one
of their’ respective contests with
outside colleges; basketball,’ how-
ever, has not done as ‘well as might
have been hoped for.

The badminton year started off
very well as Bryn Mawr scored
three successive 5-0 victories over
Drexel, Rosemont and the Univer-
sity of Pennsylvania. The team’s |
only defeat occurred in the game |

of 4-1, against Bryn Mawr, al-
though the season ended cheerfully
as Chestnut Hill was beaten by
4-1.

The swimming scores follow al-
most the same pattern as the bad-
minton team’s—initial victory, a
ane defeat, and a successful last

me. Beaver and Stwarthmore
were beaten; the next week Bryn
Mawr was defeated by Drexel and
finally, Penn, the arch-rival, was
defeated by a score of 53-31.
