first case Of the hook worm disease in
the United States and whose subsequent
investigations into the prevalence OF the
malady in this country. resulted IN she

piness and health TO hundreds of thou
sands Of people, but also the solution OF
the labor problem-practically tho child
labor problem-in the South"
Although ne would not give a history
OF the events which induced Mr.. Rookie
feller to become interested in the matter.
he said that the ch'erf point which
brought about favorable decision by the
big capitalist was the broad humanltar-
ian aspect OF the subject rather than the
economic side. Rockefeller himself had
the hook work problem inquired into with
the most thorough cure. sending scien-
tific investigators into the South. His
munihcent gift comes now at a time to
be regarded as q crisis in the ravages OF
the parasite.
DR.. stiles said that he discovered the
first signs OF the hook work in the coun-
try in 1901 at the Garfield Hospital in
the city. During an address before med
ical men on the subject he happened to
state that the hook worm was the cause
OF the so-called shiftlessness prevalent in
the South. From that sprung the lazy
bug" joke which has spread over the
world and subjected the matter to a
great deal of ridicule. DR.. Stiles how
ever. IS now inclined TO believe that
this Jest. although at first threatening to
thwart efforts IN a serious cause. had
really been OF benefit by attracting the
attention Of the people.
