.Vccordiiiij; to news received from Dr. W'inslow, he went first to 

 London, where he visited the public health exhibits of four museums. 

 In the Kensington Museum he found the central hall on the ground floor 

 largely given up to the public health exhibit, which includes an excel- 

 leiit set dealing with insects and disease. The Museum of the Ro\'al 

 Medical College contains a wonderful collection of mihtary hygiene 

 niaterial. The other two exhibits, at the Royal Institute of Public 

 Health and the Royal Sanitary Institute, are somewhat archaic. 



After a week in Geneva, he proceeded through Czecho-Slovakia 

 on an inspection trip in connection with the Red Cross clinics, which he 

 found in good modern condition, contrasting with the backward state of 

 the j:easants. The public health work at present takes in such activi- 

 ties as child welfare clinics in Slovakia, a malarial campaign in Spain, 

 a r.ursir.g school in Serbia and a social hygiene conference in Copen- 

 hagen. 



We quote from Dr. ^^'inslow's latest letter; 



"We have just got through with two weeks of meetings of the Tenth 

 International Conference of Red Cross Societies, which has kept us 

 exceedingly busy. Dinners and receptions every night, made gay by the 

 orders and decorations with which the delegates were bedecked, but it 

 has been wonderful for us here to get in touch with the different countries 

 we want to reach. One day eight different national delegates came in t:^ 

 call upon me, and at a little tea we gave there were ten different nationali- 

 ties represented. The Red Cross Societies are really displaying a very 

 great interest in public health questions, which makes a most hopeful 

 3'ear for our work. 



"Next week I am going to Poland and Austria and shall sto{) 

 at Berlin for a day on the way up when I hope for an opportunity to 

 see some more health museunT-;.
