“BETTER EDUCATION FOR GEOR
GIA MOVEMENT"
(By Ralph L. Ramsey, Director)
Georgia Health
For sheer demonstrable value to every
citizen, the health services of the state
department have no peer. From the na
tionally famous "Blood Wagons" that are
being used in rural areas to reach unfor
tunate negroes and poor whites to the
extensive activity against malaria, there
is no room for complaint.
Down in south Georgia’s Clinch county,
for instance, the late Dr. Sessions car
ried on a work notable for its self-sac
rifice. Night and day, under the direc
tion of the state department of health, he
labored as county physician against the
ravages of typhoid, malaria diprtheria.
pellagra and small pox. Os the thousands
upon thousands of "shots” that he gave,
he took pride in recalling that he had
"never lost an arm” . . . meaning by this
that his preventive measures did not re
sult in the infection that sometimes oc
curs when sterilization of instruments is
not absolute.
School-House Doors
Around the school-house doors they
w-ould gather, trusting absolutely in the
old. patient, efficient and pain-relieving
Georgian. More than six feet tall, he had
the features that might have been those
of a Barrymore. He worked in all kinds
of weather and was known to drive thir
ty miles to reach a negro turpentine work
er whose only complaint was a vague
headache. He turned no one down —white
or blaek —and took no money. During
the last few years of his life, his health
broke daily. He was too good a physician
not to know that he was soon destined
to go the way of all flesh, but he worked
until the very end —for the Georgians
whom he lived among and loved —-and
died in the arms of his brother. There
will never be a monument to his memory,
because the people he served were among
the poorest in the state. One doubts that
he needs it. Truly, here was one of na
ture's noblemen.
Romances and Health.
The “Blood Wagons” and self-sacrific
ing doctors attract attention, however,
only when someone thinks to write about
them. Back in the hills and all through
the plains of Georgia there must be less
stirring dramas being lived which are
still important. There are the day-by-day
struggles—preventative measures that
may embody more manual labor than di
agnosis. There are reports to fill out.
statistical systems to set up, homes to be
cleaned up for the prospective child, and
instructions to be given to neighbors who
have been mustered in as “nurses”. And
because humans are what they are —sus-

f As coolly charming as a mountain
lake is this matched set of shower
and window curtains designed to
bring summer glamour to the bath
room. Os white silk treated with a
new synthetic material which scien-1
ceptible to insects, bacteria, snake bites,
accidents, and even changes in the weath
er —the work is endless. That it is also
a recurring expense there is no denying.
But if there were no health department,
the money that would be needed to cure
physical damage that might otherwise
have been prevented would amount to an
enormous sum.
A New Program.
In the near future, the health depart
ment of the state will expand its activi
ties. The state will be divided into six
regional health districts, each district to
be in charge of a district health unit,
'composed of a medical director, sanitar
ian, public heath nurse, and clerk. All
health activities in the unorganized coun
ties of under 14.(MN) population which do
not now employ a full-time commissioner
of health will be supervised by this
health unit, acting as direct representa
tive in its health districts of the state
department of health.
In counties with a population of more
than 14,000 the department will only
give financial aid to establish complete
health departments proportionately to the
funds available. Or, if such counties em
ploy one or more public health nurses,
the state department will participate in
the organization of maternal and child
hygiene and venereal disease clinics.
Protection For All.
It is expected that this plan will put
health service within the reach of every
county. Officials and all others interest
ed in co-operating in this program are in
vited to correspond with the Georgia
Department of Public'Health, division of
county health work, State Capital, At
lanta.
Education and Health.
The educational method has been ap
plied successfully in preventing the on
slaught and the more serious effects of
disease. In Cleveland, 0., last year the
school and the health department co-op
erated in an attack on appendicitis. The
results were a revelation. After six
months of instructing children on how
to recognize symptoms, what to do until
the doctor came and more particularly
what not to do (never take a laxative to
cure a pain in the side you may assume
to be “indigestion"), it was found that
more lives were saved than ever before
in the history of the city. A prominent
doctor said that the schools had been
more effective than all the physicians in

the city combined. This doesn't by any
means, mean that the schools can do the
job of the doctor. It merely means that
there is a connection between education
and prevention of had health. If preven
tion fails, the doctor is in the next line
of defense to effect a cure.
