FOUKTEENTII BIENNIAL REPORT 53 the County Society should undertake; and third, certain definite public health duties that the individual physician should assume? There are a number of opportunities that might be suggested by such a committee to the State Society. For example, the State Society could confer a great service upon the health interests of this State by adopting a resolution requesting the county medical societies to regulate the compensation of public health officers—a resolution similar to one adopted by the Society several years ago regulating the compensation for medical examinations for insurance companies. The State Society might, with profit to itself and great benefit to the public of North Carolina, adopt a plan of work recently taken up by the Colorado State Medical Society. That society elected a publicity committee, whose duties are to secure press articles frcm the members of the State Society, to revise them when necessary, and to endeavor to have them published by as many of the papers of the State as possible. This work in Colorado has been very successful, and the profession in North Carolina caii do anything they decide to do that any other state profession can accomplish. I have been asked by Dr. Delia Dixon-Carroll, chairman of the Educational Committee in this State of the American Medical Association, to ask this Society to request the various county medical societies to elect from their number some one who would agree to deliver one lecture a year to the nearest Woman's Club on some one of thirty-six subjects to be submitted by Dr. Dixon-Carroll. The county societies that will assist in this educational work should notify Dr. Dixon-Carroll, who is in ccmmunication with the Women's Clubs of the State. There are many other suggestions, probably more valuable than the ones I have made, that others could offer the committee. Such a committee might recommend that county medical societies act favorably upon a resolution of the State Medical Society regulating compensation for public health service, and that the county societies cooperate with the publicity committee above suggested in securing the publication in their county press of articles submitted. They could adopt a definite public health program for their county, and with their combined influence they could succeed in securing from county boards of health and boards of county commissioners rulings and ordinances that would save hundreds of lives right around them. The County Society could go before the County Board of Education and have a tremendous influence in securing the teaching of sanitation in the public schools of that county—the ultimate solution of the public health problem. The County Society might ask the candidates for the Legislature to address them on some public health subject, following this with an informal discussion of the subject of sanitation, and the State's health would then not be in such jeopardy when the General Assembly convenes as w^as the case once upon a time. Some people believe in New Year's resolutions and other resolutions. I am one of them. A good resolution may act as a reminder, if nothing more. Some time ago I saw a form of pledge gotten out by the New York State Health Department and submitted to the physicians of the State. Those who signed it pledged themselves to use a solution of nitrate of silver in the eyes of all new-born children coming under their care. Suppose a form of pledge binding the signer to use his active, persistent, and determined efforts to secure in the public school at home the teaching of sanitation, in the church at home one or two sermons a year on how to live here instead of hereafter, pledging the signer further to' suggest to each family in which he was called to treat a case of malaria, hookworm disease, tuberculosis or typhoid fever
