We are more than likely to dwell upon 
the sensational side of progress and over¬ 
look the homely steps in national advance. 
As an example of this our interest in san¬ 
itation seems to be passive although sci¬ 
ence has for some time shown us the vital 
necessity of sanitary methods. Framed to 
meet this state of ignorance, these three 
books are full of compact and practical in¬ 
formation which is of prime importance to 
everyone, — not merely the house owner— 
in that they give a clear and concise idea 
of what is requisite for normal healthy liv¬ 
ing and for prevention of disease. 
Outlines of Practical Sanitation 
covers the field in general. It deals 
with the home and its requirements 
in plumbing, ventilation and heating, il¬ 
lumination, water supply and the collection 
and disposal of waste; telling what meth¬ 
ods are best and where correction is nec¬ 
essary. The subject of food supply is 
also dwelt upon as is the cause and pre¬ 
vention of contagious and infectious 
disease. Besides this a rational view of 
personal hygiene is considered. The rest 
of the book has to do with the subject in 
relation to communities in general, and 
there is much here that the thoughful tax¬ 
payer should know, to act intelligently. 
“To make the country as healthy as the 
city. ...” is the aim of The Sanitation of 
a Country Plouse. This statement has the 
appearance of a paradox until we begin to 
understand that while the cities have been 
spending millions toward improvement, 
the country has depended upon nature un¬ 
assisted. The principles expounded in 
the previously mentioned book are here 
applied to the country house, from the time 
the location is selected until it has been 
in use some time. There are many sug¬ 
gestions that are helpful and best of all 
are simple. 
Sanitation of Recreation Camps and 
Parks is of similar plan to these two books 
and applies the principles expounded to 
the practical building of the successful 
camp, protecting it from the hostile insects 
as well as from anything that might cause 
sickness.
