NEW YORK MILK COMMITTEE 43 



persons. Now, a condition of that kind leads simply to confusion, 

 and that is the condition of the City milk business to-day. It is in 

 a condition of confusion. 



I believe, ladies and gentlemen, that that is one of the most im- 

 portant means of solving this very confused question: Simply to 

 require those persons who are engaged in the business to do so in- 

 telligently and honestly. I thank you for your attention. 



THE CHAIRMAN: I do not think you would like to go home with 

 out hearing just one of our elder brothers who is in the milk busi- 

 ness. Oh, Mr. Campbell, won't you come forward and tell us 

 something about the handling of milk? (Mr. Campbell did not 

 come forward.) 



This has been a delightful afternoon, almost as inspiring as 

 as it was during last January, when I had the opportunity, in 

 three different states, to look into the faces of boys who were 

 preparing for home work. Hardly any of them wanted posi- 

 tions. I told them there was pretty good money for good boys, 

 but nearly every one of them told me that he was going home. 

 Oh, what a good sign that is ! There is no place to-day like the 

 farm, where brains can be used with the same amount of energy 

 as they are using them, and compelling you to use them, if you 

 are in the city; and no greater results are had from the use of 

 brains anywhere than on the farm. Those results will come to 

 us through the milk, and the conditions that will make our farms 

 look as if we were proud of them. 



Now, the time has been passing pretty rapidly, and we have 

 some great things for this evening. If any results from this aft- 

 ernoon session have been found, we should be glad to have them 

 find their way into resolutions, and see what we can do with them.

DR. IRA S. WILE: Mr. Chairman and Ladies and Gentlemen: 

 As Chairman of the Committee on Resolutions, I wish to say that 

 there are two resolutions to be presented at this meeting. The 

 first resolution is as follows: 



WHEREAS, There is a high mortality during infancy, owing to 

 impure milk supplies, and 



WHEREAS, Large numbers of children are physically and 

 mentally handicapped and unfitted for future citizenship, 

 through mal-nutrition, in large part due to lack of milk in the

 be it
