Health Worker Sees End of White Race By Disease Ravage
Films Picture Life Habits o House Fly and its Relation to Disease
"The race of fair-skinned people will be wiped from the face of the earth within a period of a few hundred years unless we take measures never before used for preventing disease and educating people how to prevent disease," said Maurice Ricker, president of the United States Health Department, at a lecture in Green Hall Friday afternoon.
Mr. Ricker is sent out over the country by the health department to demonstrate "hygienic movies" which the health department feels is the best method of teaching people the ways disease spread and ways to prevent it. In an exhibition made twelve films and it is now trying to find out whether this method of visual education will prove satisfactory. If experiments indicate successful, more films will be made immediately. Mr. Ricker showed two films, "The Fly as a Disease officer," and "The Fly and His Habits."
In his lecture Mr. Ricker said that only about 10 per cent of the persons in our country have any belief in the germ theory. As he pointed out, it is important for people who do understand the cause or to prevent it successfully or to prevent it.
He also expressed the belief that reasons and a scientific basis must be developed for treatment, protection against disease, and that people must be educated to tense reasons before they will ever work for conditions which will benefit the people.
Mr. Ricker urged that more emphasis be placed on hygiene and physiology in the grade schools, and that teachers should use this biology and zoology in the colleges.
This method of "visual education," he believes, leaves a much deeper impression on the mind of the adult as well as on the mind of the child than a letrame on the same subject. He suggests that the projector which can be run by an automobile engine, in case there is no electric power furnished.
