Past Public Health Activities
Prior to the World war, our chief.
public health activities were confined
to the control of the environment. If
typhoid fever "broke out" in a certain
locality, the sanitarian was sent out
with a view of making an inspection
of the premises concerned and direct-
ing the people to clean up. If diph-
theria became rampant, the schools,
were closed early and the school-
houses received the usual innocuous
fumigation. The general assumption
was that, germs of disease lurked in
dark rooms or filthy alleys patiently
awaiting for innocent passersby with
the determined objective in view of
"jumping onto him." Such was out
belief of disease in general and of
tuberculosis in particular. Further,.
it was commonly held that diseases
traveled a long distance through the.
air. The term malaria, which means
"bad air," illustrates this belief. Hos-
pitals for infections diseases were,.
therefore, located some distance from
the ,city.
We legislated against and made pro--
visions for the control of the envir-
" inment. Restrictions were made as
to the location of. slaughter houses,
pigsties,.corrals, etc. Health laws and
regulations were in general concern-
ed with street cleaning, garbage dis-
posal and the abatement of nuisances._
Water purification and sewage dis-
posal received consideration. The
public roller towel and the drinking
cup fell within the ban of the health
department.
Then we "set up" state and munici-
pal boards of health and proceeded
to hold them responsible for our
health. If an epidemic broke out the
invariable public reaction was;
"What is wrong with the health dIe-
partment ?"
On the whole we had become more
or less satisfied with the Rpparent
success of 'our health' activities. We
expended much money and each state,
municipality and district in our coun-;
try possessed a board of health that
w~ou'd "see to it" that health was
eaqually disseminated to all our citi-
zens. In fact, we openly boasted that
America was a nation of super-health
and strength. Did not our American
youths return from the world's
Olympics, wearing the laurels or vic-
Torv? Are not the world chamipion-
ships in boxing, wrestling and a host
cf manly sports held by Americans?
What better specimzens of ac;tive and
=irile manhood can be presented than
the football eleven? Asauredl such
evidence bespoke a natIon of un-
rivaled physical vigor.
University Catalog Out Soon
Proof is being read on the Univer-
sity catalogues an the first edition
is expected from the press about May
1. The catalogue is being published
in two editions. The first, containing

FESTIVAIL NOTES
William Bachaus, well-known Ger-
man pianist, will be the soloist with
the Chicago Syphony orchestra at the
fifth May Festival concert to be held.
Saturday afternoon, May 20 .At thls
time he will play Beetho ven's Con-
certo in G major.
This pianist was born at Leipsig,
Germany, in 1884. His first studies
were done privately under A. Rech-
endorf from 1891 to 1894, when he
enrolled in the Leipsig conservatory,
studying here for four years. The
next year he studied with Eugen d'Al-
bert at .Frankfort.
Since 1900 he has made concert
tours in Europe, America and South
America, with marked , success. In
1905 he won the Rubenstein prize for
piano-playing, a prize of 5,000 francs,
at which time he was a teacher in the
Royal College at Sonderhausen. His
first tour of the United States was
made from 1912 to 1914.
During this first visit to America
his success was unusual, for he ap-
peared as soloist in three concerts
with the New York symphony, tw'o
with the Boston symphony, tWo with
the Chicago symphony two with the
Cincinnati symphony and two each
with the Philadelphia and St. Louis
symonpies. "He made an im-
-pression that will not soon be
forgotten," wrote Pierre V..R. Key,
an opinion repeatedly expressed
throughout the last tour that intro-
duced this remarkable pianist to many
audiences.
SENIORS WIELD KNIVES ON
TOPS OF TAP ROOM TABLES

Jack-knives have been plied with a
will on the table 'tops in the Union
top room during the past few weeks,
as many of the members of this year's
senior class endeavor to make their
last "mark" at Michigan.
Some of the carving does show a
desire ' o create more than a mere
"John Henry," while others seem to
have been dohe chiefiy from a sense
of duty.

HE Vice-President of a great life insurance
.company who began his career as an agent
has this to say -to seniors who are about to,
graduate from college:.
"If you love work and desire to pursue an honorable,
useful and lucrative mission in life this is the business
for you to take up. Life insurance salesmanship offers
a fine field for the energies of the splendid young men
inour colleges.
"That this is true is demonstrated by those college men
who have taken up life insurance for they have shown
that the college man is fit for this kind of a job and
that the job also is fit for the college man.
"The work ofthe life insurance salesman is distinguished
by independence and opportunityfor directinghis own.
It gives all possible opportunity for individual initiative
and a chance to make an ample income at an age when
most fellows are struggling on a wage pittance.:
That is the story of one who began at the bottom and
reached the top without the help of a college educa-
tion. The advantages are with you who graduate
from college. Before deciding your career make in-
qnuries of the "Agency Department."
