URGES CoNTAGI0N REPORTS.
Health Officers Direct Attention to
Law on Subject,

Cooperation of the public in securing
prompt report to the health depart
ment of all cases of contagious disease
is requested in a report just issued by
the department. The department, 1t
states, believes that quite a number of
cases of measles, chickenpox and
whoopinGcough occur from time to
time in the District which are not re-
ported, as the law requires.
In cases of this kind responsibility
for reporting falls first on the head OF
the family in which the patient belongs
and, second, on the nearest relative of
such patient present on the premises
Failure on the part of those responsi-
BILE to report cases of these diseases is
subject to a penalty of a fine not ex-
ceeding 500, or Imprisonment for not
more than thirty days.

Social Service Agency Aim.

The need Of social service is brought
about by the fact that the ordinary ties
which bind families together in nor
NAL relations are broken down, fre-
quently because of economic condt-
tlonS.
| The speaker illustrated his meaning
by the effect of unemployment upon
family disintesra,ion. me moiry
! thereby entalied and the reduction OF
the normal standard of living means
friction. distress, and if long continued,
INSTRUMENTATION. The effort OF any so
cial service agency must be to provide
means for the family standard in the
way of rent, food and clothing to be
maintained at a point which win
guarantee the self-respect of the chill
dren as well as the parent. In this
process financial aid must be prescribed
! to the extent necessary to accomplish
the end, but all the while the chief
purpose must be kept steadily in mind,
namely, to provide opportunity for the
family to re-estab biish Itself through
employment, medical aid if there Is i'll
