The great incidence of hookworm
among children in certain parts of
Georgia is partly due to a custom
which perhaps no amount of discour
agement will banish, namely: going
j barefooted.
Dr. W. M. Brady writes “Health
Talks” for a number of newspapers.
One entitled "Johnnie, Get Your Shoes
Off" recently appeared in the Atlanta
Constitution. He begins like this:
“This is the season of the year
when parents have so much to fear
if naught to be afraid of; when kids
delight to bathe each day, though not
in tube we beg to say, if real stuff
they are made of. Breathes there a
man with soul so dead who never
to his son hath said, ‘Boy, whatcha
wearing shoes for?’ The barefoot boy
with cheeks of tan will make a darn
sight finer man if footwear he’s no
use for.
“There are occasions and places
when it may be unwise or improper
to go barefoot. There are regions in
the southern states where the soil or
ground is polluted with hookworm
eggs and larvae, due to the primitive
habits of the natives, and in such
regions it is dengerous for anyone
to go barefoot, for ‘toe ltoh’ or ‘ground
itch* or ‘dew itch’ (the pripiary stage
of hookworm infestation) Is likely to
be the price.”
In places where hookworm infec
tion does not exist, it Is of course of
great benefit to the health of all chil
dren, boys or girls, to go barefoot. Hut
the danger of hookworm disease in
barefoot children far exceeds these
benefits. Os course, if it were pos
sible throughout our rural sections to
make proper disposal of sewage, then
hookworm infection would gradually
die out. Until this is done, eVery in
fected child will spread the Infection
to his barefooted mates, and each of
these In turn will spread It to other
barefooted children.
Mothers, If you want your children
to enjoy the privilege of going bare
footed, see to it that the homes in
your community are provided with
proper sewage disposal facilities, or,
if this cannot be done it will be neces
sary to make your children wear
shoes all summer long. As certain as
barefooted children wade around in
damp places, ground Itch will develop
between their toes, and every case of
means hookworm.
Hookworm infection means stunted
mental and physical growth. Write
to your State Board of Health for in
formation about hookworm infection,
its prevention and cure.

Georgia is now operating under this
