R. H. S. NOTES
CIVIC GROWTH DEPEND8 ON
HEALTH.
The Atlanta Constitution of Febru
ary 11th devoted a section to the in
dustrial and material advancement of
the Southeast. .
A careful analysis does not give
Georgia her just share. Looking
for the cause or causes we were struck
with the fact that the States appro
priating most liberally to the Boards
of Health show the most material ad
vancement along productive lines.
Capital seeks investment where
health conditions are best, where
adequate sums are appropriated to
prevent illness. Study this question
closely and see if we are not righL
It is not strange at all. If you will
stop to analyze the question of manu
facturing growth in. the Southeast, to
find those States that contribute most
to the prevention of disease and to sani
tation are locating the great factories
and industries within their bounds, not
at all; capital realizes that health is
necessary for production; that san
itation Is dependent on appropriations.
When our neighbors of North and
South Carolina give their Boards of
Health four or five times as much
as Georgia,- it is no wonder that in
dustries are anxious to locate here.

With half of the open land now Idle,
"laying out,” with many of the homes

it is time for oar best thought to be
given to the causes underlying this
condition.' It Is not soil; .it,Is not
climate; It is not convenience. There
are perhaps several fundamental
causes, but one above others Is the
providing of proper protection against
disease. The farmers of our frozen
Northwest are desirable citizens as a
whole, bnt you must- convince them
that they will be free of malaria and
hookworm if they come to Georgia.
They must' know that they will be
protected against typhoid, tuber
culosis,. dysentery and 1 all such
preventable diseases if they come
among he. What can you say
when they point to the faot that you
only have 8c per capital when South
Carolina has 6c, North Carolina 'has
12c, Alabama has 6c and Florida has
25c? What can you say? You must
stand still, dumb, ashamed and hu
miliated; what else can you ao: We
want good emigrants; yes, above-all
things, this is our need, good white
farmers, who can own a hundred acres
or so, and can cultivate .them scientif
ically. Yes, we need them, oh, so
much! Let’s assure them of health
first; let’s sanitate Georgia; let’s
make it a fit place to live; the very
best, and they will come. Subsidize
county health work; eradicate mala
ria, typhoid, diphtheria, venereal dis
eases and others that we know so well
how to handle. Take - health work

grounds; make it of potent force; It
will pay.
