i TILE RALEIGH TIMES, MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 23, 1912. -, h ii 4 tf ' ' OF SCIENCE ...5 j . International ; Congress On Hygiene and Demography -2500 Delegats Present Washington, D. C, Sept. 23. The fifteenth international congress on hygiene and demography opened the first of its five-day sessions here this morning. VKJ Twenty-five hundred delegates, among them some of the most noted scientists in Europe and the United States, were present when the con vention was called to order by Presi dent Henry P. Walcott of Boston. "i The delegates were formally wel comed by President Taft, who also has been made honorary president of the association. Mr. Taft's speech was short. He complimented the members of the congress on the past work of their organization, and ex pressed gratification over the large and notable foreign representation that responded to the invitation to hold the meeting here. The presi dent lias- arranged to further enter tain the delegates at a garden party on the White House grounds this afternoon. Dr. Rupert Blue, head of the pub lic health service, was another nota ble figure at the first day's session. Dr. Blue called attention to the fact that this was the first time the organization had met in the United states during its sixty years of serv . ice, and rophesied that medical discoveries of paramount importance to the scientific world would come to , light during the meeting. i Others of international repute among the delegates were: Sir ' Thomas Oliver of the University Durham College of Medicine, New- . caBtle, England; Dr. Jacques Ber tillon, chief of the Bureau of munici- .. pal statist 1.3, Paris, France; Dr. : Frederick Zahn, director of the Ba varian statistical office, and Dr. Max Rubneum of Konigle Fredrich Wil . helms Pniversitat, .Berlin, Germany. The program has been divided in to four ple.nary sessions, each of which will be under the guidance of these four men. The balance of the program has been divided into nine '. sections, which will be addressed by the different delegates, among which are representatives -from every state in the Union. Much interest was evinced in the extensive exhibits that; bave been arranged to supplement the oral sessions. Among these were an ex ' hibit by the public health depart ment, showing American methods of city, sanitation; a physical picture of army and navy hygiene, including a completely equipped operating room aboard a war vessel; an ex hibit on school sanitation; another on the care of Insane, and still oth ers depicting the elimination of ty breath v; Take it lass by BDear I phoid by hygienic methods, and im frovementa of the condition of the blind. Among the addresses delivered at the first day's session were "Public Health Organization by Countries," by Dr. George Reid of Stafford, En gland; "Hygiene of Inrancy and Childhood," by Dr. S. Adolphus Knopf, New York Post Graduate Medical School and Hospital; "The Etiology of Measles,"" by Drs. Jos. Goldberger and John F. Anderson of the United States public health service, Washington, and "A Plan for Teaching School Hygiene," by Dr. Ira S. Wild of New York. The addresses by Drs. Knopf and Wild were delivered in that section of the congress devoted to "Hygiene of Infancy and Childhood and School Hygiene.'" Sepaking under this subject, Dr. Knopf called attention to the fact that at least 3 per cent of all the children of school age in the United States are tuberculous. This, he said, involved a yearly loss of $75,000,000, figuring the most of maintaining these children to tne community and to their parents at $250 per annum, and figuring the average lire or tne ou.uu cnuaren who die ar.nually from tuberculosis at seven and a half years. This waste, he said, could be eliminated if the child were taken care of at the right time. Dr. Knopf also declared that in his qpinion a large percentage of the diseases prevalent among chil dren of school age was sdue to de cayed teeth. "Let us have free dental clinics," said Dr. Knopf, ."let each child be carefully and practically re-examined for every possible physical and ment al deficiency; let no child pass through life with a pathological or esthetic defect which can be pre vented by timely treatment and care. The result of such provision will be better health and happier citizens." Dr. Wild, in his paper, "A Plan for Teaching School Hygiene," out lined a comprehensive system for in structing children in the essentials of sanitation and health. His plan Involved the inculcation of the dim inating rules of life as they apply to the individual, and then the preser vation of these individual rules to the life of the family. "It is reasonable to presume," said Dr. AVild, "that the child mind will grasp the relation of personal hy giene to the health of the family, and that this will form a stepping stone for intelligent conception of its relation to the life hygiene of a group of families, such as would constitute a neighborhood." Dr. Wild emphasized the neces sity of beginning the hygienic in struction ci the child in the ele mentary grades and of carrying it forward with the years of the child's cvhftol life. " '; Drs. JofiIi Goldberger and John F. Anderson announced that they had discovered that the common children's disease known as measles Is contracted not by tho scaling oft of particles of the patient's skin, but by th sneezing of the patient dur ing the earlier stages Of the malady. They found that it was also possible for' a child to catch the disease through drinking from a glass used by one inn I ten. Dr. Reid,, in his symposium of It offsets effects of oversmoking.

He reviewed the laws which have been enacted from time to time, stating the gradually increasing powers which have been given coun ty medical ofcers of health in the British Isles, and in conclusion de clared that tho "national insurance act of 1911 probably will prove to be the greatest potent for good in the extension of jwhlic health," This act aims at securing ade quate medical treatment for all in sured persons, and for the prevent ive treatment of tuberculosis.

Rev. H. A. Hamble of Lanrin bnrg Begins Revival Ser vices In the City The revival meeting at Edcnton Street. 'Methodist- church began yes terday witti two splendid sermons by Itev. miliary A. Humble, pastor of tne Methodist church at Laurlnburjr, who haB come to hold tho meeting ior tne pastor, Kov. H. M. North. Mr Humble is full of zeal and love for the work of saving souls, which shows itself in the sermons he preaches. He has a pleasing per souallty and a strong, cordial man Thes I flavor I I lasts II isr Ytiv Jisoar ner that makes him liked at once. After hearing him yesterday the peo ple at Edcnton Street were glad that he had been selected to hold their meeting and they are expecting great things from the coming ser vices. For his first sermon at the 11 o'clock hour Mr.-Humble chose the text, 2nd Cor., 13:5. ''Examine your selves, whether ye be in the faith; prove your own selves.". It was the message to bring to the poople at the beginning of auch a meeting, a strong plea to each one to examine their hearts and liveB to sec if they were Christians, to see if they were in the faith. Mr. Humble used a striking illustration, drawing a pic ture of a garret or an attic room, where things we know not of have collected through the years. Hidden among the dust and cobwebs are a few dear treasures reminders of other days, but there Is much that is useless. Tho trash and rubbish needs to be cleaned out but the light that comes through the dust-grimed win dow is so dim that we have to bring a light to see to clean out the dark corners. So Mr. Humble urged his hearers to bring the light of tho Holy Spirit to shine into their lives to show up the sins and wickedness that have so long been allowed to remain. At the evening hour the message was from Judges, 7:7, "And the Lord said unto Gideon, By the three hundred men that lapped will I save you, and deliver the Midianites into thine hand: and let all the other people go every man unto his place." Mr. Humble likened the coming se ries of meetings to the fight of Gideon, who from the 32,000 men who said, "It ought to be done," and tho 10,000 who said, "It can be done, found 300 who were ready with faith and enthusiasm to under take the task. There 1b always a great number who are gady to say it ougnt to oe done, and even a great part of these who say "it can be done." The test comes when those are called for who have faith in God and enthusiasm for the cause to go forth to win the fight. Mr. Humble placed high value on the work of the young people who have the zeal and enthusiasm which counts for so much in such a cause. The services will be held each after noon at 4 o'clock in the Sunday school room, and at 8 o'clock in the evening in the church. The public Is Invited to all the meetings.
