How About Taking the Last Step?
The surgeon general of the United States is actively engaged in a campaign for the eradication of syphilis and other destructive venereal diseases. The first step in that nation-wide campaign is the identification of the disease. That step has been accomplished in the University. The next step in the campaign is the education of the public to the point of enlightenment where it is realized that syphilis, in order to be conquered, must be regarded in an intelligent light. That step has been accomplished in the University.
The next step is the creation of a desire on the part of the public to determine all cases and to seek treatment for positive cases. That step was somewhat dramatically accomplished last spring when a Daily Kansan survey demonstrated that students were 100 per cent in favor of a Wassermann test in the University.
The next step is the provision of facilities for that test and the administration of the test to all students desiring it. This step must be aided by an intelligent attitude on the part of the administration that will forget the prudish inhibitions of the middle-ages, even at the risk of some disfavor and some criticism from persons who, at the best, are only the uninformed minority.
Has this step been accomplished?
The desire of the students for a Wassermann test does not indicate, as some persons seem to think, that there is a high rate of syphilis in the University. In fact, results in all the universities and colleges that now have such a test show that the rate of infection among college students is far less than the one-in-ten rate for the general public.
The desire for the test and the agitation that it is hoped will produce such a test here is merely the result of an intelligent interest on the part of students and various other agencies in the University to co-operate with the efforts being exerted by the government health officials, the medical profession and the press toward the conquest of one of the most deadly diseases of the modern world.
Probably not more than four or five positive reactors would be discovered in the student body. But these four or five, without the necessity of embarrassment, could not be subjected to treatment that would render them non-infectious and eventually cure them, saving them and perhaps many others from the ultimate fate.
If the good people who are so shocked at the sight
of the word "spillish" in the student newspaper has been one-half as intelligent, one-half as concerned with the public welfare, one-half as interested in the fate of children and women who are suffering is demanding a Wassermann test in the University, our insane syllables would not now be over-crowdied with the insane syllables of human beings upon whom syllables him.
