RESULTS OF GREATER GOOD
Some Problems Must Be Met and Civ.
en- Practical Solution From the
Equipment Of Sanitary
Engineer.


NASHVILLE.
DR.. r. Q. Hllard, secretary Of the
state board of health, is of the opin'
ion that the state should have a sani-
tary engineer. He believes that II
would mean great deal for the rural
sections of the state to have the adj
vice and counsel OF such an official. In
speaking of the matter recently he
said the experience gained in many
years of service With the state board
Of health suggests the fact that observ-
ance OF the proper conduct of life in
the rural communities is productive OF
results OF greater good to the body
polite than its application in our cit
les. The rural districts should pay as
much attention to all matters involv-
ing the health of human beings and
live stock as the cities, and II is to be
regretted that facilities and educatlve
functions common tomunicipal life are
not equally as available to the country.
The state board of health is more
actively interested at the present time
In conserving the health of the citizens
Of the rural districts than 1t is in con.
serving the health of the city folk.
who are well protected by the local
health departments. The general
health Of the state of Tennessee is in
ne sense dependent upon the health
OF our cities, but upon the rural dis.
tricts, without which we could not long
exist.
The time has come when In sheer
self-defense some of the problems must
be met and given practical solution
and solved from an angle not within
the powers of our medical staff, but
solved in fact from the equipment Of a
sanitary engineer.
