Sickness Tabooed
The time may be nearer than we think when the re
puted Chinese practice of paying physicians for keeping
their patients in health rather than for treating them when
nick' will be universal in civilized hinds. It is an ideal
worth striving for. Great progress has been made in
searching out the means of preventing disease but, as the
director of the KockefeUer Foundation said a few days ago,
we are not making practical use of our knowledge. Now
com Sir David C. Bruce, president of the British Associa'
ticn'for the Advancement of Science and chairman of the
governing board of the Lister Institute of Preventive Medi
cine, strongly arguing the possibility of virtually eliminat
ing disease in civilized lands. He is credited with having
controlled parasitic maladies in the British army duiing
the war. . '
Sjr David, who was addressing the association of which
he is president at its convention in Toronto, Ontario, de-
clared that "medicine in future must change its strategy.
Instead of awaiting attack it munt assume flic offensive.
It must no longer le said that 'the man was so sick he had
lo send for a doctor.' " . .. ' 1
: The more the doctors accomplish along the lines indicat
'Cd the belter,1ut ndfrlftWr the preventive work can be left
to them. They can discover the means of controlling di
sease and show the people what is essential to be dune in
their own interests, but nothing will bp done unless the
people are willing to pay the price for improving condi
tions. Probably the money cost of gelt:n? rid of-preventable
diseases would not be nearly as great as that which
we pay as a consequence of sickness. Sir David" estimated
the direct economic loss from this cause at $750,000,000
annually in England and 53,000,000,000 in the United
States. And in these countries, comparatively advanced in
medicine, sanitation and hygiene, the death into constantly
falls. One important duty that lies ahead is clearly indi
cated, by such as Sir David and the .Rockefeller Foundation.
Trotsky thinks the . United Stntes is imiierialistic and
that its pacifist reputation is a great joke. Trotsky could
hardly be right in his views, if he tried.
. Isolation Gone
', If the present trend of events continues, there will soon
be no provincialism left in the United States. Isolation is
what makes people provincial, and isolation is rapidly In
coming a thing of the past.
The telephone was the first medium lo connect far
lying districts with the lifa of the cities. The automobile
nextt furnished a means of rapid and convenient transit.
Newi the city has leeii brought to the small town by means
of tne radio. When Ia Grande, Ore., can listen in on
concerts as far east as Newaik, as far south as Atlanta, and
)M. fur west at Portland, then our town partakes in a
measure of the characteristics of the cities. They have
Bome,thiiig in common together. .
The great national roads form another de-provincializing
element. A sparsely settled district, however far it
ma.vlbc from the larger centers, cannot grow self-centered

T fact, the danger lies in the opposite direction. Towns ,
tfriidjto grow rather too much alike. Without IhImjIh. it is'
difficult for n stronger within a diameter of ."oo miles to
lie able to distinguish one town from another. Town spirit
is also becoming more difficult to foster. Gimmunicatioii '
and fcasy travel have brought this alwut. Then may comej
a time when the people of this country have extended their,
travels around the glolc so widely that they will not an-!
pear even as distinctively American.
