DENU, Sec. and Mg» | 1, Minnesots, as second-clasa mattes, | ' Looking After the Public Health No Longer Medical Question Alone. By DR. F. P. GAY, University of California. The public health field is very broad and although medical training is desirable for public health work, it is no longer adequate for a compre- hension of the field of the public health worker. Many specialized fields, such as sanitary engineering, social economics, industrial welfare, and indeed certain of the medical sciences, such as bacteriology, physiology and zoology, are no longer primarily in the hands of graduates in medi- cine. The practitioner of medicine himself should no longer imagine that he has vested rights in the field of public health or, indeed, that he can SUBSCRIPTION RATES ‘ hopé to control it, except in so far as his conception of the entire problem P S _.Lcu‘l‘- 6.00 By Majl \ | is larger than that of his non-medical colleagues.

It is foreseen that the scope of public health will develop along these lines. BIRCHMONT SEASON CLOSES i No one who attended the complimentary dinner to thej subseribers of the Birchmont bonds and stock has been heard to| say that he regretted the investment he put into the hotel.| On the contrary, reports are heard from all sides commending| the enterprise and the management of the hotel. Bemidji would| have been lost without the hotel this summer and so would a{ large number of tourists who came to Bemidji for the first time| Tured hither by the reports of former patrons of the hotel. | In the absence of guests from out of the city, the speech- making naturally resolved itself into.one of patting each other| on the back. Well, that is much better than kicking each other.: Evidently there was nothing to kick each other for, and hereby| hangs the secret of the success of the institution. With the closing of the hotel Saturday night, Bemidji citi- zens may compliment themselves on having done a big thing for| their city and community in making possible the operation of this institution. P Sm— | THE GRYGLA COMMUNITY | The deputation from Grygla, which came to Bemidji to present their petition asking the co-operation of Bemidji in ob- taining a means of transportation by rail, met with the support of! local citizens as their request was right along the line of the effort Bemidji business men have been putting forth for some time. This is an instance where it is forcibly shown that communities are dependent upon each other. For some time it| has been realized that the section of Beltrami county west of Red Lake, one of the richest districts in the county, was entitled to a means of rail communication to the county seat and that| that territory really.should be in the distributing territory of]| Bemidji, and now the people of that district are asking for a| means of linking up with Bemidji. With both ends working to get together it should not be long before the two communities! are linked up closely. | O e A NEW ERA, AND A PERIL | __ There are now 9,211,000 motor vehicles in use in the United | States, or one for practically every 11 persons. The number of | such vehicles has been increasing at the rate of more than 20| per cent a year. A great highway building era is just opening up in this country. Paved roads by the thousands of miles in all sections of the country will mean a still larger increase in the number of motor cars. Will the penalty of this advance be an annual toll of tens of thousands of human lives? What a satire on progress if the ingenuity and enterprise that lead to material improvements cannot be separated from a growing peril to hu- man life!'—Kansas City Star. —o0 AMERICANISM The following clean-cut, courageous words were uttered by the attorney general of the United States, H. M. Daugherty,| which every true, full-blooded, patriotic American will appre-| ciate and approve: “If laws are obnoxious to the people, it is their province | to repeal them. Until they are repealed they must be | observed and enforced without fear or favor, The | | FEDERAL COMMISSION URGED The whole field of social economics has been notably neglected. Tn this connection the control of poverty, the care of dependents, some aspects of city government and the labor problem may be mentioned. Further consideration of industrial hygiene seems important, not simply from the standpoint of occupational disease and its preventios, but from the aspects of labor legislation and efficiency. A group of studies that may be irxcladed under mental hygiene, that is really a branch of public health, are abnormal psycliology, criminology, studies of vice and child hygiene and eugenics, which are closely related.

If*the busy rich people watched and rebuked the idle rich people, all would [be right among them; and if the busy poor peoplé watched and rebuked the fdle poor people, all would be’ right among them. But each looks for the fault of the other. A har] working man of property is particularly offend- ed by an idle beggar; and an order- 1y but poor- workman is naturally in- tolerant of the licentious luxury of the rich.” And what i; vere judgment in the minds of the just men of either class becomes fierce enmity in the un- just—but among the unjust only. None but the dissolute amol poor look upon the rich as their n al enemies or desire to pillage their houses and divide their property. None but the dissolute among the rich speak in op- probrious terms of the vices and follies of the poor.—John Ruskir. The Yodeling of the Swiss.

Secretary Hoover is formulating plans for it. | According to present outlines the objects of the conference will be: i “To inquire into the volume of needed employment. | “To study the distribution of unemployment. | “To recommend methods of stimulating employment by industries and| public bodies during the coming winter. “To study the economic measures desired to ameliorate the unemploy-| menti situation and give impulse to the recovery of business and commerce| to normal.” | The department of commerce already is in possession of much helpful data and. valuable suggestions along these lines and it is hoped that the con- ference will give added light. It is ccmmonly agreed that the outlook for ihe coming winter is grave,! and that \\(hi]c business is making slight progress toward recovery, things| are ot starting up as they should. Many reasons are ascribed as the (-nuse.i -3 the coming conference can reveal how much of the trouble lies in human| selfishness and lack of vision and how much in needed legislation the remedy ! along to counties as many states do | to have state:policies correlated with { which the counties formerly used in should follow shortly.
