quartette composed of Messra, Halloran,
Howe, Mull and Stevens, opened the
session. An intelligent audience filled
Snow hult's lecture room. University
sessions again as in previous sessions
made up a good part of the audience. The first paper of the evening was read by Dr. Williams of Olathe, entitled:
PUBLIC HEALTH AS PUBLIC WEALTH
Where little attention is paid to the health of a nation, the wealth of that nation has decreased, and the death is equally here until 1869 was the first State Board of Health organized in the United States. Now nearly every state has its Board of Health. The speaker presented the results of statistical work going to show that the death of any person in the United States is equivalent to a loss of $1,500 to the country.
Prof. F. H. Snow of the University smoke of
POLLUTED WATER
Whenever any water has in solution a certain definite amount of foreign matter, that water is impure and not fit for drinking. I will speak chiefly of pollution by organic matter. I exhibit on these charts various forms of organized organic matter. Prof. Snow here referred to numerous colored drawings of desmoid, doatoms, bacteria, epitheloal scales, etc. The speaker noted various cases in which the carrying of disease-germs by water seemed to institute epidemics. He stated in plain and forcible terms the undoubted cause of typhoid fever, the merely impure water, but water charged with typhoid gerns. Prof. Snow takes no stock in the "oxidation theory" of chemists. Infiltration does not effect disease gerns. Continued boiling is the only method of destroying germs in water. Several letters from Prof. S. W. Williston of the Yale Medical School, were quoted from the support of this view. The paper was one of the most interesting of the whole convention, and was evidently appreciated by the audience. To illustrate the paper several slides of water from the Kansas River and the Lake were exhibited by means of the Steropeptcan. The exhibitions were startling in their rerelations of animal life in the water, and furnished amusement for the audience.
SANITARY CONDITIONS OF SCHOOL LIFE.
Dr. Frank Swallow of Valley Falls, presented a paper on.
THE PEREMPTY PHASE OF MUNICIPAL ADMINISTRATION
Little attention has been paid by authorities and legislators to the subject of school Sanitation. School books and school methods are thought of, but Sanitation neglected. "A sound body is essential to a sound mind.
is a paper prepared by the members of Senior class of the University, and presented by Prof. James H. Canfield.
The town differs from the country in that more of regulations and laws are necessary. The powers and functions of municipal authorities are ministerial and wholly independent of the popular will, preeminent among the peremptory powers of municipal authority is the care of the public health; quarantine may be declared; nuisances may be abolished. Inspection of streets, alleys, and lots; investigation of diseased meats, watered milk, adulterated food; regulation of sewers and drainage; care of sidewalks, etc., etc., all come within the peremptory powers of the mayor and council. In all matters of cleanliness, and consequently, public health, the municipal authorities should act promptly and firmly. The city is a business corporation and the mayor and council are its business agents. The paper was heartily applauded. It was spoken of by members of the convention with much commendation and surprise was expressed that so clear cut and forcible a paper could be gotten up by boys. Messrs. Roberts, Bowersack and F. H. Kellogg are the students responsible for the paper.
MRS. A. L. DIGGS,
of Lawrence, read a carefully prepared paper on the, "Personal Duty of the Citizen touching the prevention and spreading of communicable diseases, from the standpoint of the mother." Mrs. Diggs' paper was an able exposition of the duties of the citizens as distinguished from the duties of the authorities. Diggs' ability in writing and her vigorous thinking were well exhibited in her paper, a synopsis of which the Journal hopes to print.
After the completion of the program Dr. J. Milton Welch of Wichita presented the usual set of resolutions thanking the citizen the press, (of whom we are which) the University authorities, the secretaries of the meetings and the quartette. It was decided to meet in Manhattan, in December, 1890. No other business appearing, the Convention adjourned.
