EXPENSES INVOLVED : RAISING FUNDS 



In order that a campaign may be successful and that 

 the work may continue unhampered, it is essential 

 that sufficient funds are in sight to begin with. The 

 raising of funds is a matter that must be settled by 

 each community for the present until such legislation 



has been brought about that 

 will insure county or state aid. 

 Thus far the task of raising 

 funds has been given over 

 to civic organizations which 

 through committees have solved 

 the problem in one way or 

 another. Several communities 

 have raised their funds by popu- 

 lar subscription, while one pro- 

 gressive town has had two tag days with gratifying 

 results (Figs. 37, 38, 39). 



No crusade can hope to be successful unless it is 

 properly organized and directed. The detailed scien- 

 tific work must be done by one who is properly trained, 

 and who is responsible for the results. This individual 

 is the Field Agent, and his salary is the biggest item 

 in the cost. That this item is really small when the 

 returns in health are recognized, not only with refer-
