The Rural Health Problem 
\ 
{Continued from page 535) 
it means deprivation of the company of 
his children, great expense and anxiety. 
Lectures for adults, concerts, theatri¬ 
cal and operatic presentations are rare, 
while the city physician may pick 
among many to suit his taste or that 
of his family. It is true that the 
movies, and recently the radio, have 
brought some relief, but it is still piti¬ 
fully inadequate. 
Social intercourse is limited and the 
opportunities of improving or polish¬ 
ing manners and poise are few. Be¬ 
sides, social relations are apt to be 
cramped, intolerant and gossipy, when 
everybody knows everybody else’s busi¬ 
ness and can “listen in” on the phone. 
Many a country physician has had to 
throw up his practice owing to idle 
gossip. 
No Opportunity to Continue Studies 
Owing to the expenditure of prac¬ 
tically all his time attending to a few 
patients, the country doctor has not 
enough leisure left to keep abreast of 
medical progress. Not only has he no 
time for general literature; but even 
the essential articles in the profes¬ 
sional journals remain unread. He 
rapidly becomes a “back number.” 
The peculiarities of country practice, 
prevent him taking any post-graduate 
courses and he sinks in the depressing 
rut of daily routine. Many rural phy¬ 
sicians do not practice modern medi¬ 
cine, but that of thirty or forty years 
ago. As there are no chances of pro¬ 
fessional advancement or specializa¬ 
tion, his worth as a scientific medical 
man decreases, instead of increasing 
with the years. Neither are there 
chances for him of getting those posi¬ 
tions of honor or emoluments which 
fall to the lot of his city colleague. 
While the urban physician has reg¬ 
ular office hours and may leave his 
practice in charge of a colleague dur¬ 
ing vacation, the man who practices in 
the country must always be on duty. 
As his patients often come from great 
distances to see him, he must be ready 
to attend them at any time. 'We must 
all “let up” occasionally from the daily 
grind and the failure to do so exacts 
a heavy toll from our nervous energy. 
The country physician suffers from a 
sense of inferiority, which has its 
effect upon his morale, although he 
may not show it or even cheerfully 
deny or disguise it. The lack of diag¬ 
nostic facilities such as the X-ray and 
other laboratory tests, discourages him 
from making any definite diagnoses 
and he falls into the pernicious habit 
of leaving the cure to nature with re¬ 
sults that are often disastrous. 
All the reasons enumerated above 
which deter physicians from settling

in rural districts may be simplified 
to one common denominator, namely; 
the lack of financial returns. Or, as 
the editor of the American Agricul¬ 
turist so aptly and tersely puts it: 
“It goes back to a question of dollars 
and cents.” If the farmers could get 
better returns for their crops, they 
would be able to build better roads, 
maintain small rural hospitals and 
laboratories, , employ a nurse and 
technician, make sanitary improve¬ 
ments and even guarantee the doctor 
a certain yearly income, sufficient for 
his wants and those of his family. 
However, as matters stand now and 
until the farmers have learned to 
work cooperatively, no immediate solu¬ 
tion of the rural health problem could 
be expected without outright or at 
least partial aid from the State. Legis¬ 
lation is urgently needed to remedy a 
state of affairs which is fast becom¬ 
ing dangerous to the health and life 
of the rural population. Every year 
there are thousands of lives lost and 
hundreds of thousands of disabilities 
which could have been prevented by a 
more adequate system of rural health 
organization. 
At the next session of the legislature, 
it is imperative that a bill be passed 
that every district in the State receive 
a subsidy covering partly or entirely, 
as the case may be, the erection of a 
small hospital and laboratory, a nurse, 
a laboratory technician and a physician. 
The nurse could do the necessary home 
visiting and the physician could be ap¬ 
pointed school inspector and health 
officer. The certification of the dis¬ 
tricts and the details of administra¬ 
tion could be left to the State depart¬ 
ment of health, acting in conjunction 
with the local authorities and the bill 
should contain sufficient safeguards to 
prevent its provisions from becoming a 
“pork barrel.” 
It is, therefore, incumbent upon every 
farmer to write to his assemblyman 
and senator asking them to support any 
bill subsidizing health centers in the 
rural districts. We are fortunate in 
having a governor whose interest in the 
matter will go far towards solving the 
rural health problem in the State of 
New York. 
The Aftermath of the War 
{Continued from page 534) 
controlling power to attain that satis¬ 
faction both as to reparation and 
security that was assured her by all 
the powers that made the Treaty of 
Versailles, even if it takes another war 
to accomplish it. It is now, while their 
army is intact and directed by the 
greatest existing General Staff, that 
France will insist upon a conclusion. 
They will not delay it for years, durino- 
which they would have to bear the tre¬ 
mendous expense of maintaining their 
army,—while Germany, free from that 
incubus, would be restoring her mercan¬ 
tile marine and re-establishing her 
manufacturing interests and interna¬ 
tional commerce. 
We, here, might as well I’ealize that 
our failure to ratify the Treaty of 
Versailles or to enter into a separate 
treaty with France securing her against 
future aggressive attacks by Germany, 
—has prevented the establishment of 
Peace,—and that Europe is again in a 
pratical state of war, which at any] 
moment may lead to further bloodshed! 
and all the horrible incidents of war.
