telling the people just how the disease
Ia single easel happened to break out,
how it was handled and how the situa
tion stands at the present time. With
out doubt the people of New Hampshire,
as well as those others who are inter
ested in this particular resort, feel much
better in mind that no effort was made
at secrecy and that they were made ac-
quainted with the full particulars. If
under curtain methods had been followed
in this instance there is likelihood that
the situation would have become re.
ported in a far more magnified form
than it actually was and that the sum
mer resort would have suffered greatly |
from the distorted stories which would |
have been spread abroad by irresponsible
and careless people. As it Is, the facts
are known and on top of them is felt
assurance that the disease has been
wiped out through the prompt action OF
the board of health. For the good of all
in a case of this sort, straight |
publicity is the best course to pursue.
Besides being good policy, too, it is the
right of the general public to be in
formed accurately and frankly in order
that the public may protect itself, al
