Mr. Hodson, who is in Washington to assist the commission on public welfare legislation in revising local laws, told the gathering that there is a clear line of demarcation be- tween the work that should be car- on by the public and the private health agency.

The public agency can take over those lines of work that have been well marked out— that are not in the experimental field. The American public has been slow to appropriate to push forward into unknown fields and we must in the future rely largely on the private agencies in this respect. “Here is another aspect of the question.
