AND THE BARROW TIMES
Are City Officials Responsible To Its Citizens in Causing
Disease From Preventable Causes
An intelligent people must co-oper
ate in the great work of eradication of
disease, for the right to enjoy health
is quite as sacred as that to possess
property. Asa general proposition,
our sanitary laws are very good but
their administration still leaves much
to be desired.
To ignorance and carelessness must
be attributed much of the causation ot
disease in the centuries gone by. Out
of the throes of suffering and death
of the myriads who have preceded us
we have obtained a certain enlight
enments which, while not perfect, still
makes it absurd to plead ignorance
and lack of knowledge.
The day is not far distant when it
will be considered a crime for a city
to continue to murder its citizens by
furnishing them an impure water sup
ply. Diseases which consign thou
sands to the grave leave even worse
results in their wake by passing on
to the children a hopeless poverty,
opening the gate to crime, prostitu
tion and mendicancy. All the au
thorities agree that contagions react
on the moral fibre of a community or
people, and contrariwise, where they
live under healthful conditions great
advancement in government, litera
ture and science has been made.
There is a moral obligation to be
intelligent. Ignorance is a vice and
when it results in injury to anyone
it becomes a crime, moral, if not
statutory. There is no excuse in this
day for ignorance of any one in rela
tion to the necessity for the purifica
tion of all water supplies in cities
where the death fate from water
borne disease is higher than that in
cities having perfectly satisfactory
water.
Responsibility is a word of tremen
dous import. Its significance is akia
to trust and these men who are re
sponsible for and high minded in the
conduct of human affairs realize their
liability to be called to account when
honored with leadership.
There are men, however, upon
whom responsibility rests lightly, per
haps not wilfully but because of cir
Winder, Barrow County, Georgia, Thursday, November 10, 1921.
cnmstances beyond &eir control and
in the management of their trusts they
become indifferent to the only too
common signs of inefficiency, which
ultimately result in retrogression, if
not disaster.
The purpose of government is to
protect Its citizens, and a government
which fails to shield the people from,
infection cannot be truthfully called
either responsible, intelligent or
moral.
The greatest asset of any city or
town is the health of the citizens,
and the officials who secure this in
the highest degree are those who ap
preciate the responsibility placed upon
them In iuis very important matter.
Preventive measures in conserving
the health of the community records
success in direct ratio to the number
of lives saved, and it is pleasing to
note that the statistics of the last cen
tury show an increase of fifteen years
in the average human life. There is
reason to hope that, in the future,
this increase may be duplicated in a
considerably shorter time, if earnest
use is made of present day science.
The plain fact is that not only does
ignorance breed disease but the con
verse is almost as true and that dis
ease breeds ignorance, immorality
and strife. In the light of the scien
tific work at the present time, disease
in its horrible wholesale form is con
trollable if it cannot be entirely elim
inated. This control or elimination is
possible only when there is an awak
ening of the sense of responsibility on
the part of those who have been ele
vated to the high places in govern
ment. Short sighted humanity fails to
appreciate nature's gifts until threat
ened with their loss. This is true
even of the greatest of them all, life
itself. It is significant of our failure
to value health.
Now. Mr. Public Official, do you, a3
a city official, realize that you, person
ally, are responsible for every death
from a water borne disease, which
occurs in your city unless you are
consistently and persistently doln.j
everything possible to prevent such
death?
* IS SOMETHING WRONG?
Thlrty-Two Thousand Eight Hundred
And Forty-Three Die. , /
A recent study made by the Eureau
of Vital Statistics of the Georgia State
Board of Health of percentages of
death In certain age periods has
brought out the following interesting
and astonishing facts:
There were 82,843 deaths in Geor
gia last year, 449 of these were deaths
from typhoid and of these 18.8% were
of children 1-9 years old. Malaria
caused 559 deaths, the highest per cent
in the series. 81.1% being in the 1-9
age group. Of the 863 deaths from
whooping cough, 98.7% were in the
1-9 year group; of the 408 diphtheria
deaths 95.4% were in this period; of
the 2.643 deaths from tuberculosis,
3.2% were in the period; 1.6% of the
432 pellagra deaths occcurreJ in chil
dren under nine years old; even the
1,252 deaths from cancer had a .6%
incidence in this age group. The fig
ures that show the most criminal neg
ligence (since the simplest protection
on the part of the parent would avoid
most of them), are those showing that
deaths from accidents give 15.9%, the
highest percentage of all, to children
from 1-9 years of age.
Is something wrong? With the age
period 1-9 represented by percentages,
-—and high percentages, —of deaths un
der every heading, the only conclusion
that can be drawn is, that we are not
considering our children the “nation's
best asset” nor yet are we giving much
consideration to the future, if the "hope
of the future” is allowed to be sub
ject to conditions so ruinous. There
is something wrong; something wrong
with the nation, state, county, city,
community, school or home; something
wrong with the child’s food, his clothes,
his rest, or care. The Division of
Child Hygiene, State Board of Health,
will help you solve the problem of
what you and your community can do
for your child.
