ii2 Report of the President 



13. Exhibit illustrating the modern infant welfare 

 campaign and the present day developments in school 

 hygiene and sanitation. 



14. Exhibit dealing with mental hygiene, its program 

 and accomplishment. 



15. Exhibit dealing with the degenerative diseases of 

 adult life, such as cancer and heart disease, and the 

 methods which can be used for their control. 



16. Exhibit illustrating the machinery of modern 

 public health administration in the American state and 

 city. 



17. Exhibit dealing with Vital Statistics, indicating 

 graphically the results so far accomplished in the reduc- 

 tion of the death rate and the most promising activities 

 for the control of preventable disease and death in the 

 future. 



After ten years of work on the small scale which has been 

 possible in the past, only Sections 3, 7, 8 and 9 as outlined above 

 have been practically completed and Section 6 has been begun. 

 It is earnestly hoped that friends of the Museum and of the 

 cause of public health may realize what such a complete exhibit 

 of the Natural History of Man would mean to the Museum 

 and to the City of New York and that the funds may be found 

 for carrying this conception forward to completion.
