direction Individuals and organiza- lions are taking up different survey suggestions as their tasks. Mayor Cor win and the Water Board have made Improvement of the water supply their duty.
 No survey finding aroused more op- position than that which showed NeWburgh's typhoid death rate to be more than twice that of the whole state, and which suggested the water supply as the cause. It even kindIed the ire of Mayor John B. Corwin, who had not been unfavorable to the sur vey, and he set ot1tAto defend the city water. With Dr. Pa4eott O.~Vanamee, health officer, he inspected the water shed himself He came back convinced that need for improvement was press ing, and through his initiative, exten- sive plans have been put on foot which, if carried to fruition, will guarantee Newburgh an uncontaminated water supply, will save lives, and will pro- tect the city from like criticism in the future
 The Associated Charities and Dr. vanamee have taken up the establish ing of a milk station. Leaders in the Ministerial Associa ton have shown in terest in securing for the city a paid probation officer. Clearly, social survey, if it does not itself make changes in a city's life, is a stimulus
 
 During this survey, the two city dailies each published a cartoon. One represented Father Newburgh watch ing the departure of the surveyor. The old colonial gentleman was bespattered with mud and held in his hand a pa per labeled character with a black daub upon it's surface. With an ex- pression of bewilderment he was rep resented as saying, And to think I paid him for it!'
 The second cartoon represented a citizen looking at the exhibit of sur vey findings across the front of which is shown a large arrow pointing to civic progress. It was labeled, That doesn't look like hammer to me"
 The two pictures represent the con tending views of two groups of New burgh's} citizens which came to the clashing point when two prominent merchants summari1y removed the survey exhibit from their store win dows. This incident and the New burgh survey are particularly interest ing because in every city are to be found these same two groups-the eIe- nent which would suppress knowledge of the city's weakness for fear of in turing her reputation, and the ele- ment which is willing to face the facts as a means to secure sound civic ad- vance
 Is it worth while for city to face the facts? Newburgh has answered the question aff1rmatively. Many other cit ies are following suit In every city, as in Newburgh, there are those who fear the facts, and prefer tranquility to progress. But in many cities a larger group is asking that facts re- garding community life be accurately gathered. intelligent1y interpreted, and

Newburgh has been taking it's own

Newburgh has been taking it's own social measurements The survey of the city, just completed, was initiated by Newburgh citizens, financed large Iy through local contributions, had broad local backing-and some local opposition.
 The undertaking was constructive in character and covered such subjects as the following: Public schools, pub lie health, housing, public library, charities, and municipal administra- tion.
 The surveyors found much to com mend in the city. The credits were summed up as follows: An unusually attractive site, few tenements, a clean jail and lookup, and the beginning of a probation system, much provision for charitable assistance, diversified indus tries, good natural and generally wholesome commercial amusements, a splendid new Y- M. c. A., one .unusu- ally fine school building, and a city stirring with new civic enthusiasm
 Needless to say, the survivors also pointed out opportunities for improve emnt- The city needs were summar- ized as follows: Reorga anizatfon of fin anciaI methods, a housing code, better financed and better organized health work, more emphasis upon Fefornna- tion, less upon humiliation of prison CTS, the employment of a paid proba-
 
 further cooperation in charity work, with emphasis upon prevention of de pendency and family rehabilitation rather than upon the giving of aims, permanent public p1aygrounds and recreational use of school buildings, better enforcement of child labor laws and a better understanding of the wage problem, better physical condi- tions in older school buildings better provision for securing teaching efci-= ency, provision for abnormal children and more attention to physical train ing.
 Some opposition came strange to say, from the Board Of Education. They refused at first to go over their school report with the surveyors, and it appears to have been through their influence that exhibits of the surveys findings placed in department store windows were removed earlier than planed. However, this only whetted public curiosity, and the mass meeting held to hear the surveyors reports was very well attended.
 The survey of Newburgh has accom- plished two definite things It has pro- vided an educational force and has helped to arouse new public interest in civic affairs. It has supplied the city with comprehensive, unified and carefully worked out program for civic advance. But ultimate results come from publicity and from cooperation by the city itself.
 The surveyors did not themssi~es make changes; they only showed needs and pointed out means for meeting them The power to make changes lies with local citizens and it is follow-up work that makes survey effective. NewburEh is responding well in this

which ranks second only to tubercu- losis, and in certain sections of the country occasions even greater mon ey losses
 The cause of the disease has now been discovered. The virus can be introduced into the body of the COW fin various ways. When a COW is in- fected with this disease it's milk be- comes poisonous. The government experts have, appropriately pointed in an article. of food as widely and extensively used as milk demands at tentfon. This is the more true be- cause symptoms of the disease are not always observed in the infected cattle, so that there is no occasion to ex- pect any contamination of the milk from them. Furthermore, the germs may be eliminated continuously for years in the milk of infected cows that no longer abort. Nothing is yet known about the possible effects of this infective agent on human beings Chief Melvin of the Bureau of Animal Industry points out that this may prove to. be another source of dan ger in the use of raw milk as food and may furnish an additional reason for taking advantage of the safeguard afforded by the proper pasteurization of all milk before it is used as food.
 Animal diseases, says The Journal of the American Medical Association, concern the physician and the public either directly as a possible source of human disorder, or indirectly in that they curta1 the food-suppIy or the comfort and convenience of mankind Cows milk has been assaiIed as the distributor of so many forms of hu- man ills that one hes1tates to enter tain new charges against it until they are firmly substantiated. Neverthe- less, sentiment must be abolished where hygiene reigns; and in the long run the frank recognition of hidden dangers or even harmful possibilities inevitably leads to preventive meas ures that are worth while from the point of view both of public health and of the economy of food produc- ton.
