old naval observatory. In this city. Ave
acres of which were given for this pur-
pose. The bill provides for enlarging
the scope of this laboratory, which. !,
is hoped. will be made worthy of the
general Government.
The act also provides for cooperation
with State and local authorities through
conferences. One annual conference
must be held and provision Is made for
conferences at other times as needed
between all or several Of the States.
The effect OF these conferences, 1t is
believed, will be to bring about Coop
Grafton in the prevention Of the spread
OF disease. and the encouragement OF
sanitary work so necessary in our mu-
inequalities
The bill does not specifically touch
upon quarantine. but 1t will have Its
effect upon good administration In this
direction. So far as national quarantine
is concerned, the law OF '93 has proven
of great efficiency, and so far as mari
time quarantine is concerned. the regu-
lations of the Treasury Department are
being enforced In a satisfactory manner
by the few remaining State quarantine
establishments.
An important section of the act Is
that which contemplates uniformity in
the registration of mortality. morbidity.
and vital statistics. The general Gov
crnment cannot demand OF the States
that they shall register these statistics
in any given manner. but. by offering to
publish them If they are made upon :he
forms mutually agreed upon by the State
officers and officers of the general Gov
ernment, it is believed that these forms
will be adopted and the value of the

statistics correspondingly increased.
The act further provides that the
| President shall prescribe the rules for
the conduct of the new service. its ad-
ministration, discipline. and uniforms Of
Its officers and employees
The effect of the act is really to create
a public health service in name as we'll
as In fact. and 1t is significant that this
Is the only bill introduced in Congress
within the past twenty years upon
which there has been an agreement Of
the medical officers of the Government
and the State and local quarantine off,
GERS and the representatives of the medi-
cal profession OF the United States who
take special interest in public health
matters.
The act gives increased dignity AID
power to the Marine Hospital Service,
at the same time bringing about a
thorough understanding between the
service and the state ard local medical
authorities.
Furthermore. In view OF the closer
&C mmerciel interc curse and the more in
innate relations which are daily devei-
cping between the United States and
other countries, particularly the repub-
lies of Central and South America and
Mexico and the countries of the Far
East. the fact that the United States
Government has public health service
in name viii add to Its influence in deal
ing with these several countries in the
matter of the protection of the public
health.
The Marine Hospital Service was
founded In 1888 for the care OF sick and
disabled seamen. II was reorganized in
1871 and placed upon good basis. 1t
has been given from time to time va
rious public health duties by Congress.
and now it Is formally called the Public
Health Service of the United States.
