Or. copeland said in reference to the
Public Health Exposition: "The time Is
here when expositions are an effective
medium of teaching public health. This
Is our first health exposition but not
cur last, I hope. New York has the
reputation Of being the healthiest city
In the world. At Grand Central Palace
we VIII assemble the operators, equip
ment and machinery used In the promo
tion OF public health and welfare. We
are aiming to show why New York is
the healthiest city. and. more important
still. to educate the public to the i'm
portance OF other measures which will
make the metropolis still healthier.
We are not satisfied with the pres
ent nigh standard OF health. We want
TO raise our health standards. We want
to stimulate interest in better health.
In healthier city. in a happier and
longer life than the three score and ten
Rohiioeu Wy tHo blDle. we want every
one to realize that healthy babies make
for healthy children. and healthy chill
dren make for strong men and women.
Healthy children are our asset and pub
lie health properly applied means moro
money expended in preserving and estab-
fishing good health In childhood and less
money spent in maintaining sanitariums
and hospitals and homes for infirm
adults"
