For five or six years the Department has been lending to the 



public schools three series of public health 



new edition OF charts, prepared under the direction of 



public health charts Professor C.-E. A. Winslow, Curator 



of Public Health in the Museum. The 



subjects treated are as follows: 



The Spread and Prevention of Communicable Disease 

 Bacteria and Their Work in the World 

 Insects as Carriers of Disease 



Originally only ten sets of each series were made, and the demand 

 from the schools has always greatly exceeded the supply. In order 

 to more nearly meet this demand, a new edition of the first of these 

 folios was issued, in number sufficient to supply all the calls from the 

 schools of the city and also to offer a limited number of sets for sale.
