Excerpt from Short Talks on Personal and Community Health
Since 1908 the Department of Public Health and Charities has issued health bulletins in the form of short talks addressed to the public through the press on subjects of vital interest dealing with the prevention of disease and the promotion of the public health. It has been my experience that such education, while profitable, is rather slow. The quickest and most valuable way of teaching the public is through the schools and colleges. Public health education makes its greatest impression upon the young. Their minds can be molded to think along the lines of health and sanitation.
The health talks in this book have received the hearty endorsement of the Department of Public Health and Charities of Philadelphia. They are written in such popular form as to be understood by every school pupil and college student. The subjects are so varied as to cover a very wide scope of public health work. A more intimate knowledge of these various principles of preventive medicine will be of greater material benefit than all legislation intended to regulate the habits and customs of the very busy American public.
