MANUFACTURERS ANNUAL
BANQUET TO BE ADDRESSED
BY DISTINGUISHED PEDACOCUE
President Of Massachusetts Institute of
Technology to Be Principal Speaker

of young men for responsible posi-
tions in the Industrial world.
1.-The Massachusetts, Institute OF
Technology of which DR.. Maclaurin Il
the head, is without doubt the lead
ing institution Of its kind in this coun-
try. The registration figures OF the
Institute, when its age is considered,
are very remarkable. From a grad
uating class Of fourteen at its incep-
ton, it has expanded in less than fifty
years to a total of fifteen hundred
students representing thirty countries.
From seventy different States, prov
inces and countries, six hundred men
of the highest intellectual vigor have
come to study within the walls of the
Massachusetts, Institute Of Technol-
ogy.
1.-THE Massachusetts, Institute of
Technology has been one of the most
powerful forces in the upbuilding OF
not only Industrial New England, but
also Industrial communities in all
parts of the world, and New England
may well feel proud of having such
an Institution within its borders.
'+Other speakers Of note will also be
present at the banquet whose names
will be announced shortly, and every
effort is being expended to make this
banquet eclipse even that of last year,
which was the most interesting and
entertaining one ever held in the as
sociation's history

New York, March 14.-Thirty thou
sand people die in New York every
year from preventable causes, accord
ing to statements made by E. E. Rit-
tenhouse, conservation commissioner
of the Equitable Life, Assurance So
ciety in an address before the Finance
Forum of the West Side Y. M. C. A.
last night. These deaths, he said,
were due to false and niggard1y econ
ony on the part of the public. While
he admitted that the death rate in
those under forty had declined, it was
also true that there had been an alb
normal increase in the mortality of
people above that age, and while the
average length of life had been
heightened, the extreme span of life
had been shortened.
The death rate from diseases known
as degenerative affections had increas-
ed "a per cent. in sixteen American
cities during the past thirty years, he
asserted; but Notwithstanding this
fact, and although so per cent. of
them were preventable or postponab1e,
no educational or other campaign had
been conducted to educate the public
in the possibilitis of organized resist
ance.
Let US suppose said Rittenhouse,
that it suddenly became known that
10000 people in this city were to be
destroyed and $50, 200 injured by pre-
ventabIe cause on Monday next. What
would happen? The whole civilized
world would be shocked beyond meas
ure. Millions of money would be
forthcoming, If needed, especially from
the people of this city, to prevent such
a disaster.
THE 10000 lives destroyed here an
nual1y by preventabIe or postponab1e
disease, and the scores of thousands
who suffer from such diseases are
scattered throughout the homes of the
city and throughout the 365 days of
the year. But is it any less a calam-
ity because these people are not all
needlessIy destroyed on the same day?
New York city has undertaken,
through its health laws and officials,
to save these lives. but it has failed.
1t declines to build up and maintaip
a public health service large enough
to cope with this Ife-saving problem
The city spends about $26 per capita
to. run its government OF this
amount but So cents Is allowed for
the public health service
Think of the magnitude of the un-
dertaking of our health authorities!
The Bridgeport evening farmer., 1913-03-14

They are charged with the important
duty of guarding 100000 people
from the ravages of avoidabIe disease.
Owing to immigration and the con-
gestton of population, New York has
the most difficult problem of any of
the great cities of the civilized world.
And yet we spend but 10 cents per
capita more than is used by the
healthful city of Seattle and the small
city of Syracuse, each of which allows
SIS cents per capita. r
fHave you any idea how we are
neglecting the public health? Do
you know that hundreds of cases of
contagious disease which should be
segregated in the city hospitals are
left to spread infection in homes, be-
cause the city will not provide the
hospital facilities to care for them ?
We not only decline to furnish ade-
