A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

The aim of this volume, as a general guide for health officers, is clearly indicated in the Foreword. I ts scope, however, as the work progressed, has been enlarged over that of a simple manual by the inclusion of a considerable amount of reference matter which it was thought should be thus readily available. A nd, while the needs of the local health office have dictated the content, certain portions of the volume e.g., those summarizing tuberculosis, infant hygiene and publicity work may be of service to persons engaged in the work of unofficial organizations concerned with those subjects. Emphasis has been placed upon practical administration, the more abstract principles of sanitary science being presupposed. So far as possible definite procedures are given, but in regard to the many matters on which no such procedure can at present writing be positively deduced, an effort has been made to indicate the chief considerations at issue. References, suggestive rather than exhaustive, are frequently given, not only to substantiate specific statements, but also to serve as indications for further study along particular lines. On page 98 is given a list of the literature of chief general interest to the health officer. In the three principal needs in the public health field today (i) scientific definition of principles of procedure, (2) improved organization and (3) trained sanitary officers progress is being made. Not only is this observable in individual cities and towns, but in the advances in the sanitary systems of whole states.
