HOW TO KEEP.

DR.. FREDERICK r. GREEN
Editor Of "HEALTH"
GOITER I'm SCHOOL
CHILDREN
(@. lsas. western Newspaper Unio

GO MUCH, has been said and writ.
~ ten about goiter that almost every
school child now knows that goiter Is
an enlargement Of the thyroid gland
in the neck; that, while there are
many kinds of goiter, simple golfer is
an enlargement Of the thyroid with
out any other marked constitutional
symptom; that this form Of goiter is
especially common iR~some parts Of
the country, the so-called goiter belt
or goiter zones, and that 1t is probably
due to lack of iodine and Is conse-
quently most common In those parts
Of the country far from the sea. Some
very interesting theories have been
suggested such as that, on account of
ali the higher animals having devel-
oped from fishes, this need of iodine
Is due to a demand of the human
body for sea foods and sea products.
However that may be, 1t has been
abundantly proven that simple goiter
can be prevented by small doses of
iodine in salt or in drinking water
and that simple goiter can be largely
cured by small doses of iodine.
The question Of the prevention and
cure Of goiter having been largely
solved, the question now interesting
investigators in this field Isl what eff
feet does goiter have on the physical
and mental condition of the child?
Does the child with goiter have less
mental ability than the normal child2
In an effort to secure some infor-
nation on this point, DR.. Robert OLE
sen Of the United States public health
service and DR.. Mabel r. Fernald, d.
rector of the psychological laboratory
Of the Cincinnati public schools. have
just completed a study Of nearly four
thousand public school children in
that city. The result is published in
the Public Health Reports for May
q, 1925.
The complete report covers man7
pages. Only the summary can be
given here. Out Of 3,796 children,
some degree Of goiter was found in
25.2 per cent of the boys and 1915 per
cent Of the girls. Comparing the
school record of the children with
goiter with the school record of nor.
NAL children failed to show sufficient.
ly marked difference to justify the
conclusion that the child with nor.
NAL thyroid was any brighter than
the child with an enlarged thyroid or,
to put 1t the other way round, that
the child with an enlarged thyroid
was any different mentally than a
normal child. Marked enlargement
apparently reduces the child's mental
ability, but the number Of such chill
dren was too small to warrant any
general conclusion on this point.

FORECASTING DISEASE

N NE hundred years ago the idea OF
~ predicting the weather would
have been regarded as not only impos-
sible but also as absurd. Five hun
dred years ago it would have been
considered blasphemous. God sent
rain upon the just and the unjust.
Hail storms and tornadoes were sent by
malicious demons. How could their
whims be forecast?
Yet today the weather forecast is
probably the first thing in the paper
the average person reads. What kind
Of weather are we going to have to-
day? Let's read what the weather
bureau says.
Until recently the idea of forecast
ing disease also appeared ridiculous.
Sickness, pestilence and epidemics
were certainly things that were regu-
lated by super-human minds. How
could such things be predicted? Yet
when the League of Nations first met
Or. Richard NJ. Strong, an American
public health authority, proposed, as
one Of the principal activities Of the
league, series Of health observation
stations all over the world to report
daily to a central station at Geneva,
just as the various weather observa-
ton stations report to a central sta
ton, so that advance warning Of COM
ing epidem1s could be sent out all
over the World.

pity, but it will be some day.
Meanwhile, in a recent issue Of the
Scientific Monthly appears an article
by DIR. Victor @. Vaughan, formerly
dean of the University Of Michigan
medical school and a member Of the
National Research Council. Doctor
Vaughan's article on the present
Prevalence of Contagious Diseases" is
just the same as weather bureau re-
port, only 1t deals with disease In
stead Of weather.
Measles, says Doctor Vaughan, Ia
now unusually, prevalent all over the
world. This disease itself Is seldom
fatal, but 1t is followed, in many cases,
by pneumonia, which is highly fatal.
Influenza is increasing, both in fire.
quency and virulence, all over the
world. Another epidemic Of the dis
ease such as we had in 1917-1S will
come sooner or later. Scarlet fever,
while common. is mild. Smallpox,
both the mild and severe form, Is
common wherever vaccination is neg
lected. In 1925 there were ten times
as many cases in this country as there
were in Russia. Cholera was COM
mon in China. Japan, Siam and the
Philippines, but did not appear in
America. There has been no yellow
fever in the western hemisphere since
1928. Plague has also about dlsap-
peared on this side of the Atlantic.

Emmett was rushed to hospital

present, seven distinguished men,
scientists, professors and philoso-
piers, representing seven European
countries, are travelling here as
guests Of the Rockefeller foundation.
One of them. Jacob r. Worm Muel-
Ter. doctor Of philosophy, economist
and professor of modern history at
Oslo, Norway. has written u hook
that should be translated from Nor
wegian into English. "Den Okoni-
miske Krise Efter Napoleons Kri-
gene" That book, published by
Gr0ndahl & Son ut Oslo, translated
into English, would cnlighten Ameri-
cans and particularly the British.
The British will not like Professor
Worm-Mueller's views, but will be
glad to know about them.
Twas the development of steam
power that rescued Europe and en-.
abled her to pay her debts after
Waterloo. Perhaps electric power
will now paw for the big war. rs
steam paid Europe's debt after M
poleon.
Professor Worm Mueller believes
that Britain's economic situation Is
most dangerous, more so than after
Waterloo, when England had little
competition.
Will Mr.. Ivy Lee kindly have that
book translated, for the enlignten-
ment Of his clients?
Vincent Astor, we'll known New
Yorker, back from Europe, says: II
didn't go to France, because the
French are antagonistic to Ameri-
cans. There is none of that in Eng
land"
Mr.. Astor is mistaken. The Brit
ish are more tactful. not less antag-
onistic, especially when they deal
with an American whose letter Of
credit is deep.
When man sees another to whom
he owes large sum that he cannot
pay, he is not glad to see that credi-
tor. That's how Europe feels toward
the United States.
