A remarkable advance has taken place, in the past few years, in the appreciation of the people 

 and of their officials in regard to the value of public health. This growing opinion that pnMlc 

 healtli is to a large extent purchasable by effort and money, has stimulated health authorities to 

 develop their opportunities and to assume greater responsibilities. The best medical colleges no 

 longer confine their teaching almost wholly to subjects dealing with the diagnosis and treatment 

 of disease, but give thorough courses in hygiene, and its practical application in preventive medi- 

 cine. The technological schools are providing similar courses to students thinking of entering the 

 field of public health work. 



The great advances in our knowledge concerning hygiene and the increasing scope of public 

 health work have led to the creation of many subdivisions and the problems and practices con- 

 nected with these have .become so highly technical as to require public health workers to restrict 

 their activities to special lines. The medical officer for some time has appreciated this. Wher- 

 ever the community is large enough to afford it, he has obtained the service of speciallst.s. The 

 department of health of any progressive State or large city has under the administrative head a 

 number of bureaus, each of these under some specialist who has demonstrated his fitness. 



The time has passed when any one person cnn possess the teehnieal knowledge and personal 

 experience required properly to dlrct and develop all or even several of these diflerent branches 

 of public health work. It is also true that few if any persons can discuss authoritatively morf 

 than one or two of these subjects. The report of the American Public Health Association on the 

 control of communicable diseases was consulted in writing the chapter on that subject. 



There was neeil of a volume in Tvhich the most Important phases of hygiene in relation to 

 public health Tvould be presented in a practical vray by specialists actually devoting themselves 

 to the subjects treated by them. This book is intended for public health officials, physicians and 

 medical students, and each contributor has therefore made his section as practical as possible 

 and utilized to the full his own personal experience.
