ward, is correctly reported he
must have been in a more
than usually respondent vein when
he opened the International Con-
gress of Social Hygiene at Buffalo.
1t may be that the reporters mis-
understood him; but they repre-
sent him as sounding a note OF
warning over the deadly and de-
structive life which we all live in
the big cities. According to the
reports, DR.. Eliot said that
THE progressive civilization of
the last hundred years has worked
terribly against the health and per-
petuity of the whole race" and
that such cities as Paris, London,
Berlin, New York and Chicago bear
witness to the fact that modern
civilization is all the time prepar-
ing and promoting its own destruc-
ton"
Precisely the contrary is true.
We are adding to the healthful-
ness of great cities every year. We
are successfully battling with al
most every one of the more dan
gerous diseases. And each sue
cessive generation sees an enor-
nous span added on to the aver
age duration of human life.
N the latest edition of the En-
l cyclopedia Britannica, an Eng
lishman of science, in an article
upon Longevity" speaks with
great positiveness and in a sense
Numerically opposed to DR.. Eliot.
He says:
There seems to be almost no
doubt but that the average dura-
ton of life has increased with civ
ilization; the generally improved
conditions of life, the greater care
of the young and of the aged, and
the advance in medical and surgi-
cal science far more than outweigh
any depressing effect caused by the
more strenuous and nervous &C
tivity required by modern social
organization. The expectation of
life of those who attain the age of
sixty varies with race. sex and oc-
cupation, but is certainly increas-
ing, and an increasing number of
persons have chance of reaching
and do reach ages between ninety
and a hundred"
The decline of the death rate in
practically every civilized country
on the globe during the last fifty
years is one of the outstanding
facts of experience. 1t varies from
Is per cent in Russia to % per
cent in England and 33 per cent
in Holland. The expectation of
life has, to be sure, proportionate-
ly increased. so that at birth the
human being has an expectation"
of As years of life-and that is
more than at any period of the
worlds history which has pre-
served statistics. The "expecta,
ton of life" agreed upon by the
great life insurance companies of

would be no profits. Yet accord

grounds" had to be opened for the
reception of the dead. And this
was common experience of Eng.
fish cities in the middle Of tia
nineteenth century. How many
American cities in our time ara
swept by such scourge?
The person who has passed mid,

child he used to see any numbered

still marked by the shattered
wrecks of our frail mortality and
watered by the tears of millions.
we are winning in the fight against
it all over the earth. In Prussia
the death rate from tuberculosis
has fallen 40 per cent in twenty
years. In England it has fallen 81
per cent in fifty years. In the
United States the death rate was
reduced 20 per cent in ten years.
And everybody knows that the dis
ease where it exists and where 1t
kills it's victims is less virulent.
1t takes longer to kill a person
than it used to, and It kills him
in less hideous way.
We are winning, here as else
where. in the fight for healthier
conditions and larger life! We
are working on right lines-and
we have only to work harder,
keep on at it, and accelerate the
rate of progress. We have to sup
port the State Board of Health.
the Board Of Health Of the city,
the Anti-Tuberculosis Crusade, and
every such movement. We ought
not to grudge appropriations Of
larger sums of public money. 1t
is good economy to spend freely
in saving men and women.
one thing that makes city life
healthy is it is so interesting
If spent as much energy in saw
ing wood as | do in catching trout
| should faint dead away within an
hour. And everybody knows that
this law holds good for himself.
1t is interest that keeps us going.
The city is full Of things to keep
us alive. The author of THE Soul
Of London" represents a city physi
clan as saying:
Did you ever have to do with
sick farm laborer? Those fellows!
Why, they fold their hands and die
for a touch of liver. Their life
doesn't hold them because it con-
tains no interest. Why, I'd rather
attend fifty London street rats
with half a lung apiece than one
great hullling farm bailiff. Those
are the fellows, after all, for get
ting over an illness"
And he is right. The seething.
rushing. whirling, swirling life OF
great cities-let us accept 1t and
delight in it and be thankful for It
and proud of it! And let us see
to it, as far as in us lies, that we
add to its healthy human interest
very sure that as we do so we are
adding to its human health Good
