NEW STATE HEALTH
COMMISSIONERS MEET
Session at Columbia Arranges to
Make Work in Missouri Uni
form in the Future.

true progress in public health
work can be made only when all
cooperate was one of the con-
clusions arrived at in the first
public health conference ever
held in Missouri, which closed
a weeks session at Columbia on
June 10.
The last Legislature revised
the health laws governing Mis-
souri, and provided a method of
appointment of health officers
which puts them under the con-
troll of the State Board Of
Health, whereas formerly they
were responsible to the local
community.
Desiring to cooperate to the
fullest extent in this movement,
which means so much for the
people of the state, the School
of Medicine of the University of
Missouri, cooperating with the
State Board of Health, decided
to hold a conference at which
problems of interest to the dep
uty health commissioners might
be discussed and also the new
est findings in public health
methods be given. The response
was gratifying.
Each country of the state, IN
der the new law, is to have a
deputy health commissioner. All
have not been appointed up to
the present time, since the law
went into effect only in Febru-
airy, 1920. Despite this fact, for
ty of those appointed accepted
the invitation, and thirty actu-
ally came. AT this first confer
ence, as might have been expect
. ed, one of the chief topics OF
interest was the law itself and
the duties and privileges of the
e deputy health commissioners un-
der the law.
: On the first day the president
!, of the State Board, DR.. w. A
Clark, gave a review of 'healtl
matters in the state. On thu
e next day DR.. t. w. Cotton,
o member of the Board who hat
organized his county even be
fore the law went into effect
gave an outline of his work an,
v explained many points of tn
IS law. On the same day DR.. A. "
Is McAlester of Columbia, who !
is the first health commissioner 0
ID the state, defed the duties 0
the new appointees and emphs
ID sized the privileges of the serv
> ice on which they had entered
u with its splendid p~ossibilitie
81 when conscientoiusly carrie
out. On Thursday the secretar
e. of the Board, DR.. George T
wv Jones, gave a talk on the impor
he ance of vital statistics, the bool
keeping of public health ma
tiers, and explained many poin'
of the new law.
AS soon as possible the Stat
Board will publish a health ma
ual covering all the points ov,
which questions and controve
sizes may arise.
'er Another speaker at the COME
ence was DR.. E. c. Knight, re
= resentative of the United Stat
Government, now in charge
nd child welfare work in Nilsson
which is being conducted in co
asst junction with the State Boa
Of Health but at the expense

DIR. d. L. Russell, also a re
resentative of the United Stat
g." service, spoke on the verert
disease program now being ca
the ried on in the state under t
Kahn-C chamberlain Act. Apprc
an imately $4,000 is being spe
