Dr. Margaret Tyler created a card system and mailed a copy to Kent for his review. Here's his comments:
"...Your card system is like ready made shoes that must fit everybody, regardless of the misery they cause. The first and highest thought in Homeopathy is the individual. Our work is individualization. Your cards will destroy the highest ideal of Hahnemann, and my teaching as it aims to fit and adjust remedies to the masses instead of to each one. The card system destroys growth and progress that must come form working out the case, every case, in the work of every beginner. Give a beginner a card system and that will be the end of him. He will not grow. He will not learn or master the materia medica. I once planned a similar scheme, but I soon saw that I must work out every case, making use of the fullest repertory accessible; curtailing nothing less I miss something important, and this meant a life charged against my conscience... Your card system will make mediocres out of good men as it will pervert advancement, growth, maturity in our pupils. There is no way but to continue to use the repertory in each case..."
