 Tn spite of these efforts and accom- plishmcnts the frightful mortality continues and tl2 disease this year will again usher 1S,000 victims to their graves. Plainly, tho practical application Of our knowledge is far and away behind the scientific data in our possession, and a large pro- portion of the population is ignoring the very principles which have been SO well established For this reason, health officers realize that further steps toward prevention must be the result of more general enlightenment and the botter education of the mass of the people.
