CONGRESS ON HYGIENE
AND DEMOGRAPHY

WASHINGTON, d. c., May g.
Many cities in the state of Colorado
are making preparation to partici-
pate in the fifteenth international con-
gress on hygiene and demography,
which meets in Washington, Sept. 23-
2S, 1912, under the auspices of the
United States government. Governor
John Ii. Shafroth has received an in
vitation from President Taft, and fol-
lowing the latter's request he has for
warded to the mayors of the Colo
RADIO cities an invitation to have their
several health departments endeavor
to send representatives to the con-
gress.

of the congress, indicating their in
tention to participate in the congress,
and in reply he has called attention TO
the great benefits which, as health of
ficers, they may expect to gain from
the meetings.
An excellent indication of the i'm
portance of the congress from the
municipal viewpoint alone was given
in one paragraph of letter written
by DR.. Fulton this week, when he
said
THE broad international scope, the
distinguished character of the foreign
representation, the governmental aus
pices under which ii is held, all in
sure that this forthcoming event will
be the most important and impressive
of its kind ever held in this country
To be in attendance at the congress,
therefore. is an opportunity for on
tanning new viewpoint with respect
to public health which after next
September will, in all likelihood, not
occur again in this country within a
generation. Failure to attend on the
part of a public health man will con-
stitute an injustice to himself and a
misfortune to hislocality."
