l. IHILE research into the causes OF
W the conditions under cOnsidera-
tiOn will effectively increase our
power to curb these conditions, a graft
fying guaranty of effectiveness in our
attempts at such reform arises from the
fact that the knowledge which we al
ready possess i'm regard to their causes
is sufficient. if it were applied through
proper educational means, to relieve Il
large part of the suffering of mankind.
The foundation upon which an insti-
tuition of sanitary science and prevent
i've medicine must be based rests upon
the field of public hygiene, which is that
branch of social science which concerns
the physical condition of communities.
1t embraces consideration of the va
rious influences operating upon society,
whether for its material good or its
actual deterioration, with the view of
extending the former and preventing or
as far as possible, the eff
fccts of the latter. 1t involves the en-
actment of laws by which the safety OF
the whole may be protected against the
errors of a part: and. above all, it aims
at the prevention of disease by the
removal of its avOidable causes.
University Missourian., 1908-10-23

NJ EMBERS of the state boards of
III health are energetic, intelligent
and progressive in many of the
states, but in some no sanitary work
of Importance is done, and, broadly
speaking, in the rural districts and in
the towns and smaller cities of this
country, especially in the South and
West, the sanitary methods are of the
cr''dest type.
In this country the efficiency of the
administration of our public health SER
vice can be best assured only by a de-
mand on the part of the state that its
medical officers shall have had the full
special training requisite for the per-
formance of their particular duties. 1t
should therefore, and ultimately will.
be made obligatory that no one shall
be appointed medical officer of health
who cannot present a diploma from
some recognized teaching body, showing
that he has passed satisfactory eX-
written and practical, in the
subject of public health and state medi-
cine.

4 FEW concrete statements will
| ~ suffice to illustrate this:
While the annual loss to this
country from preventable deaths is
$500, 100000 annually, England. by the
employment of preventive measures
during nine years (lSSO-9) saved ST.
2S3 ,2O6 900 as the result of an expendi
ture of 1913 100000.
BY reduction of its death rate dur
ing the last twenty-five years the City
of New York has saved $l5O,24O.OOO.
The epidemic of smallpox in Phladel-
phia in 1891 cost that city $22.OO0.O00.
Measures suitable for its prevention
would have cost 100000.
The epidemic of yellow fever in 1873
cost the country SlOO,OOO,OOO. while as a
result of Major Reeds preventive meas
ures in Cuba the commercial interests
Of the world are saved a greater finan-
cial loss each year than the cost of the
entire Cuban war. New York City's
annual loss from tuberculosis is S23.-
900 0,OO0-that of the United States is
$35o, ,0OO, ,Ooo-a wholly needless loss.
The annual cost to the State of New
York for the maintenance of public in
stitutions for the pauper, the insane.
the blind, the epileptic and the tuber-
cular is Sll 100000. From an economic
point of view, then, it is seen that
rarely can investment be made more
profitably than through action by which
sickness, poverty, accident and crime
are obviated.
The last decade has been marked in
this country, by two notable efforts
conceived for the determination of the
cause Of physical and social evils, by
the establishment of the Sage FOunda-
tion and the Rockefeller Institute-the
former being chiefly concerned with the
social, the latter with the pathological

CAMPUS PHILOSOPHY

When Zeke IIankins entered the Uni
versity, he believed every man told the
truth until he was proved liar. After
being told that snipe hunting was a
great pastime; after receiving the sec
Ond degree in several fake fraternities,
attempting to purchase strap Oil'' at
the grocer's and failing to get his shoes
repaired at the Coop" together with
a few other little eye-openers, he has
come to the conclusion that every man
should be considered liar until it is alb
SOlutely proved that he tells the truth
University Missourian., 1908-10-23

If every man had for his friend
The man who said he was.
And every friend who posed as friend

r ACH year the world yields up L.
O95,O0O-our own country 100000
- of its inhabitants-as sacrifice to
tuberculosis, although this loss is not
necessary; the avoidable losses from
diphtheria, rabies and malaria are also
enormous. Pneumonia kills 100000 peO-
pie in the United States annually, and
the number is increasing rapidly, yet
the cause of this disease is known and
it should be in our power to stamp it
out.
''Twenty-five thousand people in the
United States who are needlessly blind
could have had their vision saved had
the causes of blindness and methods for
its prevention been widely enough ap-
preciated. Of the twenty eight thOus-
and insane people in New York State,
a large number could have escaped in
sanity had a proper knowledge of the
causes of the malady been disseminated.
Five hundred thousand people are
killed or crippled every year in this
country as result of preventable acci-
dents One-fOurth of the distress which
manifests itself from poverty is caused
by sickness-largely preventable. and
one half is the result of alcoholism
also preventable. In like manner one
half of the crimes committed in New
York State are due to alcohol as one
of the causes.
There are few departments of civic.
municipal, state or national administra-
ton where the promise for the direct
accomplishment of economic gain is so
certain of fulfillment as in the field of
reduction of disease, accident and pow
erty by methods of prevention.
