Ma * COPY 8 I INTRODUCTION. SINCE the time of Socrates the question method has been recognized as valuable in teaching, the pupil being more likely to grasp the thought of the text if direct questions covering the principal points in the lesson are before him. The questions are valuable in review and provoke members of the class to quiz one another. This thought and the author's personal experience has induced him to compile these questions on regional surgery. Holler's Regional Surgery, being the adopted text at the Kansas City Veterinary College, has been used largely for the subject matter of the questions. The figures to the right of the heading of each topic indicate the pages at which that topic is discussed. The excellent works of Liautard, W. Williams and W. L. Williams have also furnished much valuable infor- mation. The writer is also indebted to Professors Strange- way, Chaveau, and McFadyean for valuable discussions on anatomy. The assistance of kind friends in the arrangement of the work has renewed obligations that will not soon be forgotton. If this little work proves to be useful to the student in becoming proficient in this branch of Veterinary Science the author will feel well repaid for the time spent in com- piling it. R. C.
