The copper era and Morenci leader., 1921-01-21

too lengthy to be incorporated herein. These will be laid before you, how ever, and should prove of help in your work, as they are conclusions based on experience. In this connection 1 would direct your attention to the legislative suggestions of the depart ment of vocational education, Dr. | George E. Goodrich, state superin 1 tendent of public health; MT. Clarence Dana, state dairy commissioner, and MT. T. c. Cuvellier, executive secre- 1 tary of the board or health on the tuberculosis situation in this state. These proposed changes are designed to make existing laws more effective, promote the general health and to aid i industry Among other legislation
 submitted to me and which will doubt
 less be passed upon by you, are acts
 to regulate professional nursing and for the establishment and mainten- ance of a department of tuberculosis. Another report, which should en- gage your studious attention, em-
 bodies the recommendations of re- presentative of the United States pub l lie health service, as a result of a sur
 vey made of the public health activi- | ties and existing laws of the state. ! Certain changes and consultations l would necessarily follow, if you agree ! with these conclusions, including the l transferring of office of the state | dairy commissioner to the jurisdic- 1 tion of the state health department. I The adoption of these suggestions | would result in the appointment of \ fulltime health commissioner and the
 adoption of plan, state wide in | scope, which would aid in safeguard | ing the health of the people and
 successfully combat epidemics, with
 material reduction over present ex-
 penditures.
 Office of Historian
 | The future of the office of histo- rian and how it shall best serve the state is a question open for deter imitation. The fourth legislature manifested it's will, contrary to my ideas. and expressed the opinion that
 the work of compiling and publishing , state history should proceed in , definitely. In the fall of 1919 the col
 lection of data covering Mormon set
 dement's in Arizona was begun rms , interesting information is now ready :, for publication. Collection is also 1T :, progress of what will eventually be 2
 complete list of Arizona place names v with attached explanation of then
 meaning and origin. In. view is the
 | issuance of a one.volume history O
 Arizona which shall be used as tex 2 book in our schools, The state hlstor. . has not been financial success, ant V I seriously doubt the advisablilty o :, at present continuing it's publication . beyond the two volumes above re - ferred to. For several years at least : it is the opinion of the historian, an' ~ in which I concur, that his departmen ,- could function to more effective ao d vantage in the capacity of a deposit - orv of data covering all periods an = phases of Arizona history and deve o lopment. kept in such shape as to D available immediately and most full ,, at the call of any citizen or histori /: oal student This office could als
 ge used to effective advantage ln co Il Il operation with that of the adJutan 'f general in preparing history C D. Arizona men who participated m tn 5; world war; thus perpetuating for po' Al teritv a record of which we can jus
 
 ifiably feel proud.
 z Justifies Its Existence
 , The old commission of state inst , tutions proved to be an expensiV Ie and inefficient method of managin $ the prison, hospital for the insane , pioneers home and industrial schoo n. and capitol building and grounds "a hence my recommendation to tn ,e past legislature for it's abolishmne e In it's place was substituted tn If hoard of directors of state nstltt Id tious. which has demonstrated Il m right to continued existence by tn | careful and economical manner h which the affairs Of these institution n have been administered. Each an ,e every one was conducted within Ii D appropriation, with the exception IS the asylum, the deficit in that ms .s ance being due to increased popui' ? tion. and provision for which had nc 10 been made. In view of the hle , prices prevailing and the more m m .o portant fact that the needs o1 U inmates were not neglected but tn'
