COUNTY HEALTH BOARDS
Tbc I'ionccr Association' Holds Its
Second Annual Convention.
ABLE ADDRESS bY DK. GUOFP
Ho Would Eliminate the Study of Physi
ology and Anatomy from the Schools
and Substltuta Instruction in Hygiene-Professor
Taylor's Paper.
The second semi-annual convention
of the associated boards of health of
Itrkawanna county took place yester
day in the Scranton board of health
rooms in city hail. Sanitarians from all
over the county were present, represent
ing the health boards of Scranton, Dun
more, Taylor, Jermyn, Blakely. Win
ton, Dickson and Elmhurst. Dr. Geo.
C. GrofT. of Bucknell university, one
of the best known and most learned
promoters of hygiene in the state, was
also present and gave a very Instruc
tive address.
The convention was opened at 2
o'clock by Dr. J. K. Bentley, president
of the associated boards, who in a brief
manner reviewed the work of the past
six months and congratulated the or
ganization on the progress which it had
made. He then Introduced R. J. Beam
ish, private secretary to Mayor Bailey,
who read the mayor's address of wel
come, his honor being unable to be
present. The mayor's address was as
follows:
Gentlemen of the Associated Boards of
Health: The duty of making visitors feel
that they are welcome is one that Is moU
pleasant, most gratifying. If all my la
bors were of so light a nature, the ofllce
of mayor would be a sinecure from which
I would bo most unwilling to depart at the
expiration of my term. It gives me par
tieularly great pleasure to welcome ttioae
who are associated for purposes affecting
tho public welfare. I know of no other
association of so much real good to a
community as that of a board of health.
The establishment of thob'e bodies, al
though of recent date, has already per
formed wonders in the way of sanitation.
As I snld In my Inaugural message to the
councils of Scranton, I am in favor of
widening the scope of sanitary legislation
and of increasing the powers of those
entrusted with the execution ot sunn laws
and ordinances. I understand that tho
chief object of your orttanizutlou Is the
accomplishment of a uniformity in san
itary regulations throughout Lackawan
na county. This is at once lnmlable und
practical. Legislation to be of tho grat
eat good to a community should be uni
form. The several sections of this coun
ty are so united in interest that we should
not be hampered by numerous, perplex-!ngBOiL.wUlejydtflJnBJa-.
Ily approvo of the other objects of your
organisation and promise you that I will
lender you every assistance which It may
be in my power to afford. Once ugain,
gentlemen, I, on behalf of the citizens of
Scranton, give you a hearty welcome.
PROFESSOR TAYLOR'S TALK.
Professor J. C. Taylor gave an Inter
esting address on "Sanitary Condition
of Schools," presenting some Interest
ing data gleaned from his visits to the
various schools of this county. He
spoke encouragingly of the greater re
gard for proper sanitation and hygiene
that is being manifested by the school
boards and teachers. Out of the 253
school rooms visited by him only thirty
could be found fault with In the matter
fo lighting and ventilation and only
twelve schools In the county are lo
cated on sites that could not be en
tirely approved of.
The subject of Dr. Groft's address
was "School Hygiene." He treated it
In a thoroughly practical and exhaus
tive manner and commanded the indi
vidual attention of tho convention dur
ing the hour and thirty minutes taken
up by his treatment of the subject. He
addressed, himself first to the parents
then to the teachers, then to the school
boards and finally to the boards of
health, giving them In a practical and
concise form the benefits of his twenty
years of observation and study of the
subject of caring for children during
tholr school years.
He dwelt at some length on the Idea,
of which he Is the recognized cham
pion, and which ho Is frequently called
uDon to advance or defend In medical
and school Journals, that the study of
anatomy and physiology should be
eliminated from the schools and In
struction in hygiene substituted, this
instruction to be given by medical men
In discussing this subject afterwards
Dr. A. E. Allen, health officer of this
cltv. agreed with Dr. Oroft In his con
tcntlon that a knowledge of anatomy
and physiology was not as necessary
to the young pupil as a knowledge of
the laws of hvslene. in nis opinion
physiology and anatomy were not only
unnecessary but detrimental to the
child.
DISCUSSING THE PAPEP.S.
Dr. J. R. Murphy, of Dunmore, of
fered .the suggestion that teachers
should be Instructed In hygiene. Dr.
Bentlcy, Dr. Heath. Dr. Van Sickle,
Dr. Bateson and several others also
entered into the discussion provoked
by the papers of Professor Taylor ana
Dr. llroil. A vote or maims wun ieie
fii.rerl the essayists and It was de-
elded to have both papers printed and
circulated throughout the Btate.
The renort of the executive commit
tee was then made by Its chairman,
Dr. S. D. Davis, of Jermyn. Dr. Davis
renorted that the executive commit
tee had visited the various boards of
health throughout the county for the
purpose of Inducing those not connect
ed with the organization to Join and
met with very great success. The
boards of Archbald, Taylor, Jermyn
Scranton, Blakely, Wlnton, Elmhurst
and Dickson have been enrolled during
the year, and have paid their dues.
Mayfleld has also Joined. Carbondale
and Dumiime havJ also piuiulsed to
come In. Throop, Dalton, La Plume,
Oljphant and Waverly have organized
boards but nave not as yet Docome ar
filiated with the association. There are
no boards organized In Gouldsboro and
Glenburn boroughs.
"We find," the report goes on to
say. "much trouble for a board of
health in the municipalities ot this
county to secure any appropriation
whatever for sanitary purposes. Some
of the beards have paid their dues by
private subscriptions. It is certainly
not right max tins snouiu De so. juor-
ough councils should do all In tholr
power to strengthen the hands of those
appointed on. sanitary boards. There
should be some law compelling borough
councils to make proper appropriations
for sanitary work. .
' . ELECTION OF OFFICERS.
Dr. J. K. Bontley, of Providence, and
Dr. F. L. Van Sickle, of Blakely, were
re-elected to the offices of president and
vice president respectively for the en
suing year. M. C. Judge, of Taylor,
declined a re-election as secretary and
treasurer and Dr. J. W. Houser, of Tay
lor, was chosen, Dr. B. D. Davis, Jer
myn; Dr, J. C. Bateson, Elmhurst; M
C. Judge, Taylor; Dr. J. R. Murphy,
Dunmore, and H. L. Thompson, Blake
ly, were chosen as members of the ex
ecutive committee.
The. question as to whether a lay
man can act as health officer was tils
cussed at length and the conclusion
arrived at was that there was nothing
in the law to prevent it, but It was not
to be advised. The fact that the board
of health of Throop has no physician
among Its members was brought to the
attention of the meeting and the opin
ion accepted was that the board Is not
legally constituted.
Those who registered with Secretary
juuge were:
Dr. F. L. Van 8lckle. Blakely: M. C.
Judge, Taylor; Dr. J. C. Bateson, Klm-
nuiBi: ur. j. n. oiurpny, uunmorc; j-i,

inroup, ur, w . a, l uine, tfcranton; wai
ter Brlggs. Scranton: Dr, T. P. Wilson,
winton; i nomas r. Manaay, winton.
In the absence of Dr. Be.itley, the
vice-presment, ur. van sickle, presid
d at the evening session, The first
question brought up was that of tran
sit permit, concerning which a vigor
ous complaint i-unifs from the towns up
he valley. The state has made provi
sion for transit permits where a body
13 carried on a railroad train, but failed
to make any provision for carrying
bodies from one tonn to another in car
riages, as a consequence of whit-h un
dertakers arc put to the Inconvenience
of securing a certificate from a physi
cian, a ermit from the health authori
ties, a transit permit which r.ns to be
endorsed at each town through which
a funeral passes and lastly, they must
secure a burial )xrniit. It is the in-
entton of the undertakers to petition
the boards of health to agree to accept
one permit for all purioses. No action
was taken on this matter.
Following the suggestion of the execu
tive committee, the following standing
committees were constituted by the
chair:
Committee on Sanitation Dr. William
Poran. Archbald; Patrick Coor, Throop;
Ur. W. I. Kennedy, I'riceburg.
Committee on 1'ulrllcatlon Ur. J. A.
Manley Seranton: Thomas Bondy, Jer
myn; v. T. Mahady, Winton.
Committee on Legislation Dr. D. I
Bailey, Carbondale; Dr. w. A. Paine,
Scranton; Orvlllu J. Miller, Dunmore;
Dr. J. 8. Graves. Jermyn.
Ex-Mayor Powderly, the organizer of
the Scranton board of health, was in
troduced and told of how it was ac
complished. In 1S7S, when the agita
tion for the organization of board was
started, the state even did not realize
the necessity of boards of health. The
law read "a city of the third rlass
may organize a board of health." There
was no "should or shall about It.
A recommendation sent to councils by
tho mayor that a board of health be
organized was regnrded by the city
legislators as sort of a huge Joke. Mr.
Powderlv made a visit to the councils
and personally Impressed upon them
the necessity of such a move.
MADE NEW OFFICES.
The additional offices that would be
created rather than the councllmen's
belief that a board of health was a ne
cessity finally brought about the es
tablishment. A set of rules and reg
ulations were drafted by Mr. Powder
ly and Doctor Allen, and active opera
tions were begun. The people did not
take kindly to the sanitary officers and
about the only nuisance complained of
was the board of health Itself.
During the course of his remarks, Mr.
Powderly advanced the suggestion that
the associated boards of health should
petition tho legislature to dredge the
Lackawanna, and also commended to
the association the consideration of the
system for the disposition of sewage
and garbage adopted in Berlin. Los
Angeles, Pullman, Me., and other places
where the sewage Is piped to waste
tamr ainMBfoiTO
material. Ho also spoke about unsan
itary burials, advising against metallo
caskets, which preserve the bodies In
stead of allowing them to return to the
dust, whence they came, and suggest
ing the isolation of bodies of persons
who die from communicable diseases,
to prevent the possibility of these
bodies being disinterred when other
graves are being dug, which has been
proven to be dangerous to health.
Judge Edwards made a stirring
speech, the burden of which was an
arraignment of councils for their disre
gard of boards of health. The laws
regulating the health ot the public, he
contended, are Just as important as the
laws for the protection of persons and
property. The law Is a thing of slow
growth and formation, and the health
laws, as compared with the other laws,
are yet In their Infancy. They, like the
others, will grow and In the near fu
ture, If not In this century then in the
early part of the next, will receive pw
portionately the consideration due
the m.
TREATMENT OF THE BOARD,
He was thankful, he said, that he
had been Invited to address the con
vention If for no other reason than that
It had opened his eyes to the shameful
treatment which the board of health of
this city receives at the hands of the
councils. The eminent councils, in
their-wisdom, prudence and sngaclty,
had appropriated this year $50,000 for
police protection, $30,000 for fire protec
tion, $48,000 for electric lights; the
county, last year, spent $21,000 caring
for prisoners who were criminals pri
marily because of their diregard, the
laws of health, and the expenses of the
court house for the dispensing of Jus
tice were $57,000. The board of health
this year received an appropriation of
$fl,C50, Just enough to decently take care
of the pig pens.
"I am glad to be here, he continued.
with an earnestness that could not be
mistaken, "that I may personally ana
as a representative of the bench of
Lackawanna county, raise my voice to
wake up the conscience of the people
ngainst this lamentable condition and
to rouse their Interest in the gospel of
health." A burst of hearty applause
followed tho Judge's words, and both
he and Mr.' Powderly were tendered a
vote of thanks.
Short addresses were also delivered
by Dr. H. D. Gardner, president of the
Lackawanna County Medical poclety;
Dr. P. F. Gunster and Dr. L. S. Barnes.
Dr. Van Sickle read an Interesting
paper on the history of the sanltnry
movement In the state and this county,
which showed him to be thoroughly
conversant with the subject. Adjourn
ment was mode until the second Tues
day In October.
PHILLIPS WILL EXPLAIN.
To Toll Councils and Ills Critics That lie
Simply Old Ills Duty.
City Engineer Phillips is preparing
an explanation for councils regarding
the grade In front of the new Traders'
Bank hurraing , oi wmcn so much has
been said during the past few days.
Mr. Phillips will say that the grade
he cave them Is the proper one estab
lished by ordinance, and while It Is not
the same srade as the adjonlng side
walks, that Is not his fault, for he ran
not prevent sldewalkB and curbs In the
territory formerly comprised In the old
swamp from settling, as it is doing
continually.
Some years ago the curbs along
Spruce street had to be raised one foot
on account of that same settling. They
have since settled one foot and one
Inch and today are that much below
grade.
CHOIR OF 9G PRACTICING.

NO SM.ALL.POX IN JESSUP.
Dr. John O'Malley, of This City, Gives
That as Ills Opinion.
In response to a call from friends of
the supposed small-pox patients at Jes
sup and also from a number of leading
citizens of the town Dr. John O'Malley,
of this city, yesterday made an inves
tigation of tho cases. After a thorough
nounced that there waa not the slight
est Indication of small-pox and that
parties supposed to be affected are in
perfect health.
This will doubtless be a great relief
to the people of town who have been
flurried by the scare during the past
few. days, many men being unable to
go to work and children being kept
from the schools. Tho health authori
ties of Jessup were prompted to quar
antine the people and placard their
house through a telegram from Dr.
Benjamin Lee, secretary of the state
board of health, who merely notified
them that there was a case of varaloid
on the steamer which these emigrants
came on and that they should be
watched for a time so as to make sure
that they had not contracted the dis
ease, HE MAY BE RESPITED.

DIED.
FERGUSON In Dunmore, April 21. Brld
get, daughter of Mr. and Mre. Martin
Ferguson, of Monroe avenue, aged 18
years. Funeral notice later.
The richest picking and the quickest
selling we've had this season. In all the
country there are no brighter, shrewder,
better posted women than right here in
Scranton, and the crowds that have visited
our store means something.
The possibilities of trade are simply
wonderful when such novelties and values
are represented. All new goods, no old
stock, with our facilities for buying It
would be worse than folly to deal In
trash. ' That's when good management
shows itself, and no day without some
thing newer and more tempting. That's
why this store will always lead.
we have twice over what any other store
in Scranton can show, and we question
whether any stock anywhere represents
better values for the money.
