Popis: The Study of Child Health Services and Pediatric Education has been reported in summary for the country as a whole and is being reported in more detail for the individual states. To summarize a summary approaches a reductio ad absurdum. But now that this momentous Study is not only completed but published, it is timely to point to a few of its most conspicuous highlights. With the permission of the Commonwealth Fund, to whom we are indebted for publication of the report, we have reproduced below the final chapter of the report itself. These few pages are in the nature of a few drops of juice squeezed out of the fruits of our labors. The full published report has been boiled down as much as has seemed consistent with an undertaking taking of this magnitude. In a first volume is to be found a general summary of child health services and pediatric education with a number of charts illustrating some of the most important findings. We have purposely avoided over-weighting this volume with heavy statistical tabulations. For those who are interested in more detail and a further analysis of the data, a second volume has been prepared containing methodology, definitions, comprehensive tabulated data, and the basic schedules used in collecting the desired information. So now, in two volumes, the report is available, prepared both for those who have general interest and for those who have more particular concern with the health of children and the training of the doctors responsible for their care—John P. Hubbard, M.D.
