roUJC HEALTH WEEK
Probably 350000 people die year-
ly Sa the United States from pre-
ventable causes; also something
lik- 2 per cent of the population Is
disabled from sickness at any given
time and a largo part of this is
jnevcntable.
The standing problem before pub-
lic health boards is haw with the
means at their disposal to make
the greatest posklfel ^reduction In
this social waste?
Perhaps there has been more co-
operation in this governmental field
than in any other—a freer circula-
tion of idea* and experience so j
that one community ha* profited j
by the discoveries of another. Yet j
the work is far from systematised j
| A pamphlet by the Russell Sage
Foundation suggest* that with ade-
quate report* on mortality ante
sickness which have the same gen-
eral health condition? may by care-
ful study and comparison work on?
a formnia for applying their health
appropriations with was nable cer-
tainty of getting the best postiible
results for the money'.
The first factor la the formula
would be the amount of damage
produced by any given cause of
sickness and death. The second
fr.ctor would be the readiness with
v fcieh this casts® yielded to preven-
tive measures. For example cancer
causes much damage bat in the
present stage a medical science is
not classed as a preventable disease.
On the other band smallpox causes
little damage bat its potentialities
cl damage are high and it readily
yields to the simple preventive of
vaccination. By a sufficiently care-
ful study of adequate data a health
board can reduce this to mathemati-
cal term* and say wish assurance:
"Twenty-four per cent of our appro-
priation should go to preventing
infants’ diseases; 12 per cent to
tuberculoids." And so on—the fig-
ured varying of course under dif-
ferent conditions of climate hous-
ing and the like. '
The plan is a suggestion a* to
what may be aceemph bed by co-
nperutiog am ng towns.—Saturday

HtraiT PISSED
Con* ion Ring Hoard For Action atwl
('.tUiSg l'|»w It for a Recind-
mg Order Before It la
Too laite.
The county court ro&m was well
filled and many stood (a the door-
way to participate in the mass meet-
ing c»ii«.h! to enter protest against
thi erection of the new high school
building on any other site than the
present school c inpus. Promptly
at 7:15 o'clock the hour named for
opening the meeting F. S. Croak
came forward and called the horns-
(o order. He asked Judge T. P.
Whipple to state the purpose of the
meeting.
Judge Whipple did not mince
words in ftuliag the purpose—that
of r gistwlttg vigorous prole a
against the action of the school
board in selecting a new site for the
school building. He said in sub-
sume:
"W :tea tee Quest rots of a new ea ar*.
ter came up a number of us con-
cluded to swallow our differences and
vote for same for sake of the public
■vfeool interests.. The charter ad-;
milted of the Issuance of school
bonds in the sum of $90000 and the
people marched up and voted for]
re-me but in doing so I don't believe
!h<-"c is a man present who dreamed
or suspected that any of this money
would be used for the purchase of
a site but the nest thing the people
heard was the announcement that
the board contemplated the purchase
:>t a tract of sis acres off ^Marvin
street some two blocks
•■This caused dissension and sev-
eral of us went to the board and ar-
;ut d with them. It was agreed that
» meeting be held when the people
lould enter protest but time was not
riven in which to inform the people
ind there were only a few preaati
*.nd those who did go could not get
he board to change their views. On
hat occasion I asked the board to
-ubrnit the matter to the people and
jffered to stand responsible for the
total c-.ie-r. - of such an election.
'. W. Gibson made such amotion
but could not get a second.
"La t Saturday right a few of ns
met and (1:eme-d the situation
> ith the result we put out petitions.
These petitions were put out Monday
afternoon and I am informed that
46ft signers were procured. Today
we put out circulars announcing the
masa meeting aad what happened?
Although the bonds have riot yet been
delivered and the hoard has not re-
i vived a dollar on them a deed war
filrd at 11::'1 o'clock this morning
showing $21*00 had been paid for
the new site. A deal is not com-
pleted until delivery is made and the
r i could not have bad .1.2000 in
money from the bonds to pay for the
property then 1 ask why the hurry
. filing this deed? 1'. was sa r-f
fort to prevent interference by the
people who have met herd tonight.”
W. 1*. Hancock followed In a short
talk in >\hich he declared that it

real estate In that end of town. He!
ds-eJared it was a cold blooded prop-:
onition and the real estate men art
not to he Mamed but he blamed the
board of tru-ti.es that the people
are now speaking to them in an ef-
fort to get jr.-tii . He declared tht
board was elected by the people and
should act for the p to pit. Ho ex-
pr.. < 1 the belief tha’ 80 per cent

8in ‘.king a.-. Hr Judgr Whipple de-
clared that If the building was left

there were a total of lk) interurhan
