Excerpt from Thirtieth Annual Report of the Provincial Board of Health of Ontario, Canada, for the Year 1911The writer notes with the greatest satisfaction the increased interest being taken by the public in prevention of disease, evidenced by the introduction of medical inspection of schools, lectures on housing, town planning, the prevention of slums and regulation of apartment houses. It may be called a healthy sign when the man in the street shows his appreciation of these matters. Does it not mark the beginning of the day when Public Health will become, in fact as well as in theory, the greatest of all public questions. Optimism is a good quality. Let us have a full measure of it in regard to Public Health matters.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
