Ie Instruct Teachers
Along Lines Os Health
The teachers of our State this year
vmmm Institutes held at our A. &
M. Schools have the advantage never
given before of having public health
taught them. Dr. N. H. Ballard has
always been Interested In the subject
and has arranged with the State
. Board of Health to put on 10 hours
1 of work at each of the lnstltutea. The
i talks will all be practical and much
' good to the teachers and their pupils
should result. Also the work will In
, elude a physical examination of each
' teacher who may desire It. This par
J tleular part of the work will be
; through the co-operation of the State
i Medical Association. Dr. J. O. Elrod.
! the president, will request some mem
j her of the Association to do this work
■ for the teachers.
Our physicians need and would
; greatly appreciate a life extension de
\ partment in our State Board of
Health. We have been told this would
not require very much money. Exam
j (nations at the laboratory ought to be
! made for cancer and the body secre
i Hons. The cost wculd be nil as com
pared to the good accomplished.
VITAL AND CURRENT j
HISTORY CONCERNING
GEORGIA’S WELFARE
The following Is an editorial from
The Atlanta Journal of June 11th.
It Is so good and of such vital Im
port that we reproduce it in full:
How many lives a year does Geor
gia lose in automobile accidents? How
man> from the careless handling of
firearms? How many from homicide
and from self-inflicted death?
Is her mortality rate increasing or
decreasing?
What diseases are most prevalent?
Which are in recession? Which are
on an upward curve?
Which months have the fewest
deaths? Which the most?
To these and to scores of other
questions often asked by students of
public welfare no accurate answers j
were to be found until the State Bit- =
ronu of Vital Statistics began function-j
lng, a few years ago. Health cam-1
palgns were once like marches against)
an enemy whose numbers and post
tion wero unknown; and their results!
also were largely conjectural. Now ■
that records of birth and deaths and
the causes of deaths, together with
kindred data, are carefully made and
kept, the authorities know what dis
eases call for concentrated attack j
and what regions or communities of
the State are most in need of assist
ance. They can tell what is being
accomplished by this or that health
endeavor, and what are the returns :
from expenditures of health funds, j
Moreover, to the investigator of sun
dry social problems these records give j
invaluable aid, and In time will serve!
as a basis for effective action. Never!
was a more serviceful law enacted by
the Georgia Legislature than that es
tablishing the Bureau of Vital Sta
tistics. Yet, as many will remember,
years of argument were required to
get this good measure through, and
years more of appeal to procure the
comparatively small appropriation
needed to make It more than a letter.
A glance at the Bureau’s last annual
report shows that In 1923 Georgia had
two hundred and sixty seven deaths
from automobile accidents, compared
with two hundred and three In the
year preceding: and that six hundred
and twenty-two deaths In this State,
In 1923, were traceable to -firearms,
three hundred and seventy-nine being
homicides, one hundred and three
suicides, and one hundred and forty
Incident to the careless handling of
firearms. The report shows further
that Georgia’s death rate for last year
was twelve and one-tenth per thou
sand. compared with ten and nine- 1
teuths in 1922. It shows that while
there were fewer deaths from ty- j
phoid. malaria, diphtheria and tuber
culosis, there were more from certain |
other diseases, including measles and
whooping cough, and that the largest j
increase was among deaths caused by
•iseases of the respiratory tract. As \
jo the, dcaih rate by months, the low- j
•at In 192$ was eleven per thousand
In September. February, April, June.:
August. October and November of that
year ranged between eleven and
twelve. March, May. July and De
cember exceeded twelve, while Janu
ary registered sixteen and one-tenth
per thousand. In 1922. February had;
a death rate of only nine and nine
tenths: January. Arrll. May. July and;
August swung between ten and eleven; j
while March, June. September. Octo
ber and November were between
eleven and eleven and five-tenths;,
December exceeded thirteen deaths
per thousand.
We direct attention to these few
figures from the Bureau's extensive
report, not simply because of their;
Intrinsic interest, but mainly to sug
gest to the people of Georgia what a
valuable agency they have in this his
torian of vital facts The courts have
found the Bureau of much service In
settling disputed matters of evidence
and In adjusting dubious claims. It
should prove increasingly helpful, too,
to local boards of health, practicing
physicians, realtors, industrial Inter
ests, and. of course, to all students
of social science.

WILEY R. PARKER
Saturday March 15th about 6:30 p.
m. the death angel visited the home of
Wiley R. Parker, and took his spirit
back to the God who gave it.
Sovreign Wiley R. Parker was
born Nov. 4, 1894 in Walker County.
He was a son of Mr. and Mrs. Wm.
Parker, who still reside at the old
home place south of Waterville, on the
old Alabama road He was converted
at the age of 12 and joined the church
at Wesley Chapel.
He was a very active member of
the W. 0. W. serving the Camp here
as Clerk. He also was clerk of the W.
0. W at Trion before moving to La- ;
Fayette, and no clerk ever worked
harder or did more for the Order, j
than he. He was also a member of the :
Cdd Fellows and the Woodmen circle. |
Sov. Parker was forced to give up j
work early la§t fall and was confined
to the house most of the time. His con
diticn showed no improvement and
for the last month or more before he j
died he was confined to the bed.
He is survived by his wife and two '
daughters, Foy Ellen and Cleo, his i
parents, four brothers ar.d two sis
ters.
It seems hard for one so young and
in the prime of life to be taken from
us, but the Allwise and Supreme God
knows and does all things for the best.
Resolved, that the W. 0. W. Lodge [
has lost a very active worker and j
member, the family a kind and consid
erate husband and father and the
town and community a good citizen.
