Public health leaders today have
found invaluable standards for their
work against which they can meas
ure the effectiveness Of their re-
suits, make comparisons with other
communities OF like size and prob
lens and determine the steps which
must be taken to make health serv-
Ices more effective, according to
certain articles In the current
monthly bulletin OF the state De-
partment OF Health. While zap
praisal form" has q forhidding
sound, In simple terms this means
q measuring rod to evaluate health
work, It was on the basis OF stand
ards recommended by the American
Public Health Association and made
use OF by the National Chamber Of
Commerce In the health conserva-
ton contests that cities Of varying
populations In the United States,
including three cities In Connecti-
cut, received awards for the excel
lent health progress made.
Three Ways
Health work Is evaluated IN three
ways according to DR.. Franklin M,
Foote, Director Of the Division OF
Local Health Administration.
!. BY noting 0 reduction In
deaths and cases Of disease from
preventable causes.
2. BY assuming that O certain Der
capita expenditure for health gives
an equivalent value In service rend-
cred.
3. BY examining the quality and
quantity Of service rendered,
II Is through the third method
that public health leaders have de.
veloped useful means OF evaluat-
Ing the services common to oil mod
ern local health programs. Health
activities OF representative commu-
mites have been studied throughout
the United States for many years,
those OF urban and rural sections
being differentiated. But II Ia now
recognized that the same kind OF
health services are required for each
and this has resulted In o new ZAP.
praisal Form for Local Health
Work" now recommended by the
American Public Health association
as O guide 10 the evaluation OF oil
health work both urban and rural.
Check Up
Or. Foote declares that stock TAX
Ing OF health services Is OF value
for the following reasons:
To define the principal health
problems In the light OF changing
conditions;
TO portray the strong and weak
points OF the local program on the
basis OF accepted standards rather
than In terms OF personal opinion;
To record progress or retrogression
OF the health department from year
10 year In its efforts 10 develop an
effective health program;
TO compare tho quality Of the To-
eel program with that OF other COM
munitieS:
TO indicate the extent 10 which
the various ofiicial and voluntary
agencies are assuming responsible
Nv for community health protec.
ton;
TO present 10 the taxpayer q pic

In directing similar activities, to
study the results being attained at
Quoddy and perhaps carry back to
their respective localities ideas for
projects that can be put into action
there"

gineers. David r. williams, Of the

You who had the pleasure of attending the game certainly got your money S worth and must have felt satisfied when you left the game that the afternoon had not been misspent.
 T further desire to thank the ball players for their efforts and congratulate them on the wonderful brand of ball put up-the big league clubs offer no better.
 To the players, not mentioning their names (they know to whom I refer) who helped to dispose of the t-chets, kindly accept my personal thanks. It was a grand effort and a great finale to the 1888 season. may we make it an annual event. In my opinion it is the solution to our most vexing problem and worries, and We will soon be able to establish our own insurance fund against injuries. The seasons greet ings to all
