ADVANCE OF REASON.

What a sneer accompanied by de-
risive laughter went up ali over the
land a few years ago, when Phlladel-
mia paper suggested that diphtheria
patients be quarantined and kept apart
from the well: that houses in which
diphtheria appeared be placed under
quarantine flags, and only nurses and
physicians and health officers be per-
mitted to visit them We were told
that such regulations would be trespass
upon individual liberty; that the idea OF
ouarantining diphtheria was a new
tangled idea, without support of the fac
ulty. and that it would be an intolerable
hardship upon the poor.
Such was the expression less than
fifteen years ago. To-day there is not
a State in the Union in which precisely
such regulations are not in force. More
than that, everywhere when diphtherii.
appears in school it is conceded that 1t
is wise. in most cases at least, to close
the establishment All which proves
that the world OF men Is open 10 lHe
truth That the people of this day are
not difficult of conviction when ad-
dressed by reason and proofs of wisdom.
Two years ago, after it had been pretty
clearly shown that tuberculosis is con-
tagious and infectious under certain
conditions, and that the dried sputum of
consumptive patients is a menace to
the lungs of the unaffected if the de-
posit is ground up and rises in the air as
dust, it was proposed to forbid eonsump-
tives TO sit in places of public assembly
except under certain precautionary
conditions, and out of that suggestion
grew the first ordinance against splitting
upon sidewalks.
AT first the new thoughts We're scorned
and general laugh went round at the
idea of attempting to enforce an anti
expectoration law. 1t was even sug-
gested that society has not the right to
say where a man shall eject saliva from
