Towns Healthier Than
Armenian Rural Places

Erivan, Russian Armenia, Aug. 21-
"a. p. by MaiD-Town life in Russia
is more healthy than peasant life in
the countryside, survey made by the
\ American Near East Relief in Russian
Armenia shows.
The investigators found, in a study
OF disease, mortality and sanitation
that there Is no ground for the time
honored belief that rural life is in
herently wholesome. The farmer and
his family. contrary to general belief,
live under sanitary conditions which
average lower than the town jewellers.
The old oaken bucket of the farmer
frequently carries the germs of ty-
phus and other water borne disease:
the average Russian farmhouse is a
Theoretically sealed dwelling to which
the health giving qualities of sun and
air nave fnfrequent access, and hy-
g1ene among the Armenian peasantry
Is on very low basis. The infant
death rate among the farm dwellers is
everywhere higher than that of the
towns. and the average lifetime of
the farm worker is three years less
than that of the urban inhabitant.
Inc natural advantages which the
rural district possesses are more than
oftset by the ignorance and negligence
OF the peasant In observing the most
elementary principles of hygiene.
The Armenian relief Organization
In connection with it's plan for re-
moving thousands of its orphan
charges from institutions to homes in
various districts of Armenia has
round 1t necessary to install a service
OF public health nurses who are grad
ually raising the standard of rural life
throughout. the country.
