THE ISTHuI4N health RECORD


Colonel Gorgas. who has Just arriV Ell
from Panama on vacation, shares with
Colonel Goethals credit for the extraordi-
narily successful achievements Of Ameri-
cans on the isthinuS. Colonel GoethalS Is
the canal builder. Colonel Gorgas is the
man who made il possible TO build the
canal by transforming one Of the most
unbealthful regions Of the world into one
Of the most salubriOus. How completely
he has done this may be seen in the
latest report Of iSthmian vital statistics
which has come 10 hand, that for last
March The yearly death rate among
canal employees for the month Of March
in 1905 was 12.27 10 the thousand In
1906 it rose to 3744. and in 1901 10 the
extreme figure Of 1929. Then Colonel
Gorgas got his system Of sanitation at
work. with the result that rapid decline
occurred. Last year the rate was only
1916. But I'm March, 1912 it was forced
down still further TO so. That Is rate
which many a great industrial system In
this country might well envy.
Similarly significant are the returns
for the entire population Of the Canal
Zone and the cities Of Panama and Colon.
II might be said that the canal employees
were picked men. li$Ig in exceptional
conditions. But let us take the whole
mass Of iSthmian population, Of all races
and occupations. In March. 1900, the
annual death rate was 3G.jl 10 the thou
sand. AMI II Is no wonder that life inSur-
ance companies were reluctant 10 have
their policy so much as visit the
isthmus. In 1906 the figures were still
worse rising 10 4G72 and in 1907 they
were 32.32. Thereafter Colonel GOrSas
forced them down, swiftly and surely, TO
22.22 last YER, which was a COMPARE
lively decent showing. But this year he
has put them at only 14.G7, marking the
isthmus as one Of the most beautiful Of
regions.
The particular pertinence Of this, 50
far as We are concerned. is that the
ma iOr part Of the work which Colonel
Gorgas has done at the isthmuS Is pre-
ciseIy the work which needs Ia be done
here. and which in some places people
are at last undertaking to do. That is
