To those of you who talk Of urging
the farmers of this State to remain
on the farms. I want to simply ask
those of you who are mothers, would
you be willing to give birth to your
children under the conditions many
are obliged to 60 through in the rural
districts of the State? Must not the
wise and loving mother advise her
daughter to leave the farm, that un-
der no circumstances must she let
herself think of going through what
her mother has been obliged to go
through? Must she not advise her
son that under no circumstances
must he think Of asking a girl to be-
come his wife and bring up a family
under the present conditions? This
1t seems to me. is the first and great
need in many of our rural districts.
l offer the following as a suggestion
towards helping to solve this prob
lem:
a.. See that the only medical school
OF the State. that at Bowdoin college,
is not closed. See that our State, if
necessary. furnishes the money to
continue it in the most efficient man
ner. This is, think, our only hope of
supplying sufficient doctors for the
country districts. If necessary, urge
each county to grant medical schol-
arships, with the understanding that
those receiving them shall return to
their country and practice in the ru.
Ial districts for a certain period.
b. Wherever there is a district

paign. Competition is keen all along
the line for the two cups being Of
fered as prizes. The highest single
team total is 80 new members and
this particular team is sill at it and
goings strong. According to an esti-
mate made by the committee. each
team must secure at least so new
members to make possible the goal set
1000 members. This means that
each person on the team must get ap-
proximately nine new members.
One interesting feature Cf the drive
is the fact that zoo members are ex-
pected to enroll from t'e towns of
Gardiner and Hallowell. This empha-
sizes the close relationship that ex-
lists between the people OF these three
communities. Special classes will be
arranged and compar atively low
membership fee is granted to Offset

localities.
This is essentially drive for good
health for the boys and girls. pri-

to represent it's interests as a whole
Mrs. Florence Brooks Whitehouse
of the home directorate pointed out
the necessity of knowing the men
who represent the citizens in the
legislature and of insisting that they
make good after they are in office.
She also emphasized the need for
education on conditions in town,
county and State. She herself gave
an array of national statistics but
showed that figures for the State are
lacking. and suggested that people
inform themselves on such questions
as public health, care of children.
living conditions and the school
teacher shortage.
W. G.. Hunton of Cherryfield stated
that we could raise money by taxa
ton by getting more property in
Maine to be taxed. There ought to
be a way to let people from outside
the State know what we have
here" said Mr.. Hunton.
State Labor Commissioner Roscoe
A. Eddy said that the labor people
had found out that they could not
accomplish much without assistance
and the cooperation of others, and
a great deal more can be accom-
plished through organization.
Scott G. Bailey of Portland. a
commercial traveller. made a rafting
good speech. He said that it has
been suggested that directorate be
organized to be composed of travel
ing men of whom there are 5000 or
so in the State of Maine. He was
very sure that the travelling man
| wants to assist in this work.
President Gulnac stated that the
travelling men can be the real
preachers for this or any other or
ganization and they would be gladly
welcomed
Charles NJ. White, the manager.
said that he was much interested In
the program as laid out. and the
sooner we can get at it, the better
for the State of Maine. 1.-The State
cannot stand still, it cannot stand
still in population" said Mr.. White.
L. j. Coburn of Sangerville stated
that in his opinion the State superin-
tendent of public schools and tnI
State commissioner of health should
receive more salary.

tural League. to put through the plans
which the Health Association is maxi

liant and courageous presentation of
the case for health work in the
State. declaring that the very future
of the State demands it. She gave
an impressive array of .acts on con-
ditions that obtain in Maine and eX-
planned to some extent the various
kinds of work which the Health Asso-
citation is doing.
Mrs. Ives had mueh To say about
conditions among children and was
most emphatic in denilnc.ation of the
wickedness that allows Predetermined
children to continue to come into the
world to swell the feeblc-rninded pop
ulation of this State, an asserted her
belief that a constructive program of
child welfare which shall also include
prenatal care. is the keynote of real
progress in public health work. She
spoke in part as follows:
