Public Health Work, Despite Influence of
Commercialism, Makes Great Headway
1ft. By DR. CHARLES a MAYO olRodito.Miafc
GREAT SUCCESS.
It was but a few years ago that anything relating to public health
work, state or local, was regarded by many as of little use, an added bur
den of taxation to the people and an infringement on personal liberty.
Today tho work of tho public health service in preventing and eradicating
contagious and infectious diseases is widely recognized and appreciated.
Ia fact, those best informed, and especially those engaged in the care
of disease, tho members of the American medical profession, are advo
cating strongly the establishment of a department of health under the
supervision of a member of tho president's cabinet.
Next to its establishment and the enforcement of its laws nothing is
of greater importance to a government than the maintenance of tho health
of its people. Health has come to be generally recognized as an economic
Drinciple. Some countries maintain compulsory working men's laws,
A A m w
protecting the people by state accident indemnity and old-age insurance.
... . . - ...... 14 i 1
England furnishes free medical attendance to the lairiy weu-w-ao as
national economic feature of her government. In this country also various
insurance and accident compensation laws have been put into effect.
Within but a few years, through the efforts of the public neaitn service
and the lecturers sent out by the American Medical association, the people
of the United States have become fairly well informed as to the possi
bilities of preventing disease.
PeoDle in America naturallv tend to commercialism, and in a nation
of this kind it is difficult to advance methods which in any way interfere
with business. Commercialism, therefore, greatly hampers the worn or
local nublic health officers. The state of Minnesota, which finds it easy
to raise about nine cents per capita for the care and prevention of disease
... . I 1 A. Al
in hogs and cattle, has an appropriation lor health woric 01 dm inree
cents per capita. Even with this small amount, however, Minnesota stands
fourth in the public health statistics of the United States. In many states
the appropriation varies from a quarter of a cent to a cent per capita.
The local value of a human life is commonly placed at $5,000. lhere
0 - -
is hardly s community in which an acting health officer, in the course
of a year, would not be able to save at least one human life. Accordingly,
cities with a population of two thousand and up should have a whole
time health officer whose compensation should be at least the value of one
human life. Such an officer should be modern in his views, fully equipped
and trained in public health service.
Toe Third Offlceri' Training Camps.
With the opening of the third
officers' training camps enlisted
men have been given the oppor
tunlty for promotion and distinc
lion. There has been no bar to
any man mentally and physically
qualified, and the young chap
who enlisted or was drafted as a
private now has the right to as
Dire to a lieutenancy or a captain
cy, which in the course of time
may lead as high as a general
sbio. When war was declared it
was necessary to call for candi
dates for officers from the out
side from schools, colleges,
military academies and place,
where young men are giver
training and discipline but nov
that the work of orgauizicg
great army is fairly under way
it has been found feasible and
desirable to choose a large pro
portion of the officers from th
ranks.
For months company and reg
imental commanders have beet
selecting men whose qualities
would be likely to fit them for
commissions. Special consider
ation has been given to conduct,
Jjadersbip. ability to learn quick
ly, and especially the gift ot
being able to instruct others
With the candidates chosen,
training schools have now bee.
opened in each of the army dm
siona and others are to be start
edin the Philippines, Panamt
and Hawaii. Enlisted met
assigned to the schools will b
carried as on "detached duty"
and will receive the pay of first
class privates, or of their rank
Those who graduate from these

Next Great Organized Effort Must Be
for Upbuilding of the Country School
Br UNITED STATES SENATOR JAMES W. WAD5WORTH. Jr.
CA New Yoik f
Life in the country has been brightened remark
ably. The improved road, the rural delivery, the almost
universal use of the telephone, and the astonishing use
of the automobile are some of the important factors
which have helped to bring this about. But none of
these facilities, valuable as they are, affects tho lives
of people living in the country as fundamentally as
the school. The man who lives in an environment
which offers but comparatively meager possibilities for
the development of his mind knows instinctively that
ha is missin? uomethinir of deeD and vital importance
in his life: and the vearn intra of human nature in this direction are SO
intense that that man will inevitably seek a more favorable environment
for himself and his children; and no amount of effort put fortn to enable
him to fill his pockets with monev will drive that vearninz from his soul.
- S f sf w
I verily believe that the next great organized effort for the advancement
of agriculture and the preservation of a thriving and contented country
population must be directed toward the upbuilding of the country school.
Work of this sort is in line with the highest purpose of government, and
upon its successful accomplishment must rest tne continued success oi oui
wonderful experiment in democracy.
Fresh -Air School Rooms Increase the
Vitality and Brain Power of Children
By DR. A. D. JONES
Of NtwYark
New York has taken the lead in providing sanitary quarters for
schoolchildren. Many weakly children have been restored to health by
the care taken in the ventilation of the schoolrooms. The experiment of
having the children study in rooms where they have always plenty of
fresh air has developed great advantages.
Windows in the rooms are lowered from the top and raised irom me
bottom. A temperature of about 50 degrees is maintained, and no heat
is used except in the severest weather. The boys and girls are wrapped
anA niiffor no discomfort from the cold. One
of the results obtained has been the gain in weight of pupils of open
window classes over those studying in heated rooms, volumes oi pure,
fresh air roll into the rooms with none of the vital qualities impaired by
artificial handling. The bracing effect of cold is stimulating to health
and renders the children more ablo to resist infecting bacteria and disease
It prompts f reauent class drills and exercises that prevent air stagnation
Jr. tio rnnnii nd enables everv pupil to chancre his breathing zone.
TVaofc .i'f inoroaopa trm vitalitv of the child and teacher. Children
taught in the fresh air learn quickly and do not require the constant drill
ing necessary under the old system.

Most Hopeless Task Ever Conceived Is
That of Outdistancing the Conscience
By REV. H. E. JOHNSON oi Milwaukee, Wis4
Tn thA mre of life the most hopeless task that, a man can possibly
conceive of is the task of outdistancing conscience, the nemesis of a
eniiltv soul.
The crying need of the world during these trying days, whether it be
in the realms political, Bocial, industrial, or the individual me, is a con
scientious consideration of the relationships of humankind one with the
nthnr.
A man mav utranele conscience, leave her apparently mortally
wnnnrlorl bv the wavside. and bound on along the pathways through the
jungles of life in the pursuit of selfish and sensual desires; but ere he
Vms Pone verv far in his evil ways he will hear once more tne laminar
footfall of the nemesis of a guilty soulconscience, like truth, crushed
tn pnrh. will rise azain.
Conscience is not an enemy to be feared, but it is man's best friend
When the arrow of conviction shot forth from the bow in the hands of
conscience whether it be tipped with the dart of adversity, or sorrow, or
v,;oi .minfinn ainlra intn a. hnmnn soul, its work is not to destroY a
yuj oiv-oa biiiiiuu j "
man's soul; but rather to save it by arresting a man in his onward fligh
toward the jungles of eternal despair. 4k..
