HEALTH TOPICS
BY EXTENSION
University Of Utah Proposes to Garry
Hygiene, Sanitation and Disease
Prevention to the People.

to extend its Dement'S to the people
of the state who are unable to attend
it's regular courses, by teaching hy-
giene and sanitation and the proven
ton Of diseases through extension
courses.
1t will also emphasize methods of
preventing physical defects and the
correction of such defects as are cor
rectable, so to make for the highest
degree of physical efficiency.
The methods to be adopted will be
lectures or courses of lectures, ex-
hibits, educational motion picture en-
tertainments and the distribution
of health literature. These activi-
ties are to be conducted in schools,
etc, with the support and under the
auspices of any and all organizations
interested in the work.
1t is proposed to make sanitary
surveys covering water supply, milk
supply, sewerage disposal and kin
dred subjects.
Travelling exhibits Will be part Of
the program, where models and
charts will be shown; these exhibits
to remain one week in n place. that
week to be known as Health Week"
Lectures or motion picture enter
tainments will be given every after
noon and evening so as to thoroughly
arouse the people to the Importance
of physical fitness. During this
health week in each village or sec
ton, one day is to be devoted TO a
Baby Exhibit and Child Welfare
work. Lectures and entertainments
will be so varied as to keep up the
interest for the entire week.
Villages and towns will be en-
couraged to institute "A program in
Hygiene and Sanitation, with a view
of approaching as nearly as possible
the ideal. Civic pride in these mat
tiers will be developed.
Good health is actually purchas-
able commodity and it is sane
community that sees fit to prevent
disease rather than to cure it. From
an economic standpoint it costs
about one-tenth as much to adopt
preventative measures as it does to
treat diseases after they appear, to
say nothing of extending life's span
The University has organized
a Mothers Club for the benefit Of
the mother or the expectant mother.
Twenty-four bulletins have been is
sued; one for each month during the
period of CESSATION and the remainder
of the twenty-four bulletins cover
the care of the child until the end of
its second year. An enrolment fee
of $1.00 is charged those who join
the Mothers Club, in order to cover
the expense of postage and mailing
out of these bulletins. All mothers
and those who expect to be mothers
are invited to join.
