 Among the subjects that will be talk
 
 by the state and provincial board of health will be the discussion of a model law for the organization of state boards of health and defining their duties. The subject will be presented by Dr F. s Godfrey, health officer of Arizona, and who will deliver an address upon it. The feeling among the health officers has been growing for a long time. that the question of public health has been studied too much from the point of view of law making. rather than the administration of the laws after they are made and it is desired to work out some plan of greater uniformity and as simple as possible to be effective The subject was by earlier arrangement to have been presented to the confer ence by pr. H. NJ Bracken. it's secre- tary. and who is also president of the council on public health, of the Ameri- can Medical association and secretary of the Minnesota state board of Of health. Dr. Bracken. however. was taken sick some time ago and turned the presentation of this subject over to Dr. Godfrey, who was very pleased to accept the commission. as it is a sub jec to which he has devoted much study and in which he takes a great deal of interest
