Sewage and Sanitation.
(By DR.. John w. Duke,

When general sanitary conditions
in this country are compared with
those of a decade or two ago, it seems
encouraging progress has been made
1 When on the other hand careful
study is made of the present condi
tions, especially as compared with
present possibilities it is plain that
much remains to be done. And while
the american nation Is supposed to
be the most progressive in the world,
II is only too evident that there is
room for great advance IN the edu-
cation of the public and in the bring
ing home Of the idea of individual
responsibility.
! Inspections and sanitary surveys
conducted in number of towns in
/ this state under the direction of DR..
John w Duke state health commits.
sloncr. have shown that one of the
most unsanitary factors is the lack
of proper sewage connections. II
might be supposed that the fault in
such case would be entirely with
the town or city, that is with the
community as a whole In many pla-
ccs in oklahoma, especially in the
smaller cities and towns, it has been
found that a large per cent Of the
residences were not connected with
sewers. In most instances the sewer
system Is a raIriy good one, but
number of citizens have refused to
connect with it. As a general rule
these citizens are not too poor to
have the connections made, nor are
they in general careless and indiner
cnt about matters wnicn concern the
public welfare. They simply do not
realize that by failing TO have the
proper sewer connections they are en-
dugoring the health not only of their
own families, but of their ucighbors
and the entire community. When
this responsibility is brought home to
them they are i'm many cases willing
TO take the necessary measures to cor
rect nsanitary conditions. A greater
sense of individual responsibility. as
well as a stronger public opinion in
health matters. are needed
