RURAL SANITATION In 1909 the Commission on Country Life re|>orted that "the farm should be ' the most healthful place in which to ' live, and there are numberless farmhouses, especially of the farm -owner ' <-1h-«. that possess most excellent rnod- • em sanitary conveniences. Still it is- a ' fact that there are also numberless other farmhouses, especially of the tenant class, an? even numerous rural 1 Sclinolhouses, that do jjot have the rudi- • ments of sanitary arrangement- Health 1 conditions in many parts of the open country, therefore, are in urgent need of ! betterment." The problem of rural sanitation calls for consideration from two points of ' view: that of the possible danger of | objectionable surroundings and unhygienic practices to the individual on the farm and his immediate neighbors; and r that of - the "menace which insanitary fann conditions may present indirectly • to urban communities. The sanitary relation of the farm to the city involves almost entirely the possibility of the 1 spread of actual infection from country I j to city through Ynilk. meat, vegetables I I I and other farm products. A few years | I ago it was not uyeommon fo, farmers : to meet with a spirit of resistance any. 1 ! suggestion of hygeinic improvements j 1 j which were planned to diminish the dan- j ' | ger of the farm as a starting point for ' the spread of disease. At times there, I has actually been aggressive op|H>sition I to proposed regulations the object of | ' j which was defensible from every un- j J biased point of view. The milk industry : 1 : could furnish many instances in recent ! | times of actual refusal on the part of j farm communities to supply an essen- • Itial food to the market under conditions' ' ] that today are everywhere accepted as j ' j rational and necessary, A few years ago the apparent iudifI ference of the rural community to the! j needs of th" urban population depend- !| cut on the farm for a healthful food j supple could be excused on the basis i J of ignorance. Today there is no excuse j for apathy toward the teachings of . ! modern sanitation. The compaign of , » education that is being waged through- ! ' | out the United States by all mSnuer of { ■ | forces — municipal, state and national — . ' | agencies connected with the Public ' 1 Health Service, the Department of Ag- ' ! riculture, the experiment stations, the ' ! state universities, boards of health, ' civic organization! and the public press " i ought to win its way into every rural I home that has any ties whatever with ' i civilized communities, j. The better understanding of the furrn- • er's unavoidable responsibility toward . hi? distant fellow citizen has in turn i rcsctcd to advantage in respect to his I own environment. As a recent writer , has expressed it: Fortunately -with the I ! general advance in rural standards of . : living in recent years there has come about a considerable awakening of interest among fanners and repr*senta- _ , fives of rural communities along these ; lines, as well as among the public as a : whole. Xfodern methods of communica- . tion and travel have to a great extent 1 brought the rural districts into closer > relationship with the towns and cities. • farmer learns of the improved genj era] health and reduction in .the death F«*te resulting from the decrease of the rages of contagious disease, which

has been brought about through the introduction of such preventive measures j as a sanitary water supply, proper V-nctltods for the disposal of sewage and 8 garbage, and mosquito and fly extermination, and wishes to avail himiielf of _ these benefits. J The country medical practitioner well realiza-s the futile idealism of much that emanates from an urban A?«k. Some- , times the most elementary sanitary con- 1 ditions offer puzzling problems when j f the expense and feasibility of the pro- , posed remedies are carefully studied- J Too often the eitv reformer forgets the | enforced monotony of. diet, the lack of 1 recreation and the excessive Hour- of j ] work wlilch farm conditions may en- | _ tail iu some sections and at certain sea- , 1 sons. There are sociai a iioniie forces involved in farm life, say- j The Journal of the American Medical Association. The reform of rural sain - : lotion, which is undeniably called ' for ' < in some parts of the United v't must not overlook the personal element 1 so. strong in the country dweller. \\ ith j the exigencies of the situation kept in mind the campaign for improvement- in rural sanitation is likely, in the words . of a recent writer, to do much to make . farm life at once more profitable, more healthful and more attractive, and by so doing contribute to safeguard the food supply, and therefore the health and the efficiency of the nation. O I; EYE STRAIN IN CHILDREN Our excellent boards, of health in many cities in the Union, have very wisely directed that children suffering , from the diseases above mentioned ' should be segregated from the rest of their companions in school for a eon- ( siderable length of time during the continuation of their affection as well as afterward for fear of infection or possible contagion. This is eminently proper, and should be persisted in carefully t land a rigid quarantine effected and properly maintained during the disease p and so long afterward as is deemed nitThere is, however, an additional reason why after an apparent cure of the local or constitutional disease, the children so affected should be granted a a considerable vacation, and that is the eye-strain which almost invariably acI companies these diseases, and continues with the siiffTer^jw— gome time after , ^ apparent bodily recoveroy: If we permit children so affected to enter school ■ J at once, at the time when the physi- . cians permit them to return as free from contagion, there is great probabil- * itv that bad results will follow, -o far ' as the eyes is concerned. For they are f at this time weakened for use at near ' objects, and the sudden exertion deP mandril from them, as for instance, in ® writing in a book and then looking at ' a distant blackboard for not,-*, or in ^ looking at a book and then at an example pn the blackboard, exerts the ac- ** degree and leads to eye strain from p which recovery may not take place for • I months. Instances of this sort haye 8 j also been recently observed a'ter th. 8 j mumps, in which the eyes could not be " I used for near work for seven weeks, | the least exertion being followed with j " ) a flow of tears, smarting and burning of | r I the eyes. n j Instances of this sort of eve-strain, j j occurring daily in the practice of ocu- ! i lists, prove how intimately the . vr, are ! J connected with the body and the folly j . i of regarding tlirm as mere things by | J ' themselves, the sight of which needs j _ only to be tested by inexperienced men. i I People have to he taught by constant repetition, that the eyes are a part of . ! the body, and are constantly exhibiting', symptoms, such as have above b*en mentioned, to prove their close relation- , [ | "hiPij _ J W.
