TTIE MORXIXG onEGONTAX. TUESDAY, MARCH 23, 1915. HEALTH REPORT 15 IN Free Dental Clinic for Six Half Days Weekly Is Urged. ANOTHER FUMIGATOR ASKED Dr. Ma reel! us, In Outlining 'eeds, Itecommcnds Increased Force for Inspection of Schools. Joint Laboratory Advised. Maintaining of a free dental clinic for lx half-days each week; the increas ing of the school medical inspection force; the combining of the city and county hospital work; the merging of the city and state bacteriological labor atories and the employing of an addi tional fumlgator are recommendations made by City Health Officer Marcellus In his annual report submitted yes terday to Mayor Albee. The report gives a summary of the work of last year and outlines needs for the present year. "Some interesting things have been accomplished by the bureau of health." says Ir. Marcellus in the report. "Many campaigns for the improvement of the health conditions of the city have been Inaugurated and have brought splendid results. Taking our mortality table, we find that the crude mortality rate from all causes for 1910 was 11-2 to the 1000. while for 1914 it was only 9.5 to the 1000. In nearly all the com municable diseases there is a decrease In the mortality rate. School Iaspectloa More Detailed. "Medical inspection in school-; has been carried on during the year as before except that a more detailed record of the service Rendered has been kept. The force of only four medical Inspectors and one nurse is ridiculous ly small when the school attendance of approximately 30,000 Is considered. "Tuberculosis work is sadly neglected In Portland. Only one nurse is em ployed by the city for this important activity. The medical profession should aid the bureau of health by cautioning their tubercular patients about han dling foodstuffs and take the greatest care in issuing certificates of health to all such employes, as well as those suffering from other contagious and Infectious diseases. "Rapid strides have been made In milk inspection work, due largely to the increased force of instructor-Inspectors and veterinarians. The general sanitation about the larger majority of our dairies is most commendable. The installation of sterilizers has done more than any other one factor to pro duce these excellent results. Portland Takea First PrUe. "In a, contest between cities of the Northwest at North Yakima, Wash., In October, Portland carried away the first prize. "In a series of three contests under the supervision of tho dairy division of the United States Bureau of Animal Industry during the year the bacterial counts were low, some of them below 1000 to the cubic centimeter and none higher than 250.000 a cubic centimeter. An analysis of the mortality rate among infants under 1 year of age re veals no increase during the hot Sum mer months, which speaks well for the, milk supply. The total number of deaths under 2 years of age i"rom diar rhea and enteritis was remarkably low, only 15. or 3.S in 1000 births, while in 1909 it was 32.6 a 1000 births. The total number of deaths from all causes per 1000 births was only 63.4. During the coming year a united effort will be made to lower this even more. "I wish particularly to emphasize the following recommendations: "The combination of the city and county hospital work, including, of course, the care of all communicable diseases. I am informed that the build ings could be constructed upon the new property acquired by the medical de partment. University of Oregon. This would be an admirable plan. Another t'uiulgator la I'rsed. "The combination of the bacteriologi cal laboratories of the State Board of Health and the City of Portland. "That the medical inspection force for the public schools be increased to at least eight inspectors and four nurses; tlist the supervision of communicable diseases should be all means be kept In the bureau of health. "An additional fumigator should be provided to assist in the work, which Is Increasing from year to year. "That a dentist be employed for one half dav. six (lays each week. This can be done with little extra cost to the-city and insure more efficiency, with creator convenience to the general pub lic. "A municipal garbage collection sys tem should be inaugurated as soon as possible, and every citizen should get behind the department of public utili ties and lend his support to bring this about. "That the salarv of Professor E. F. Ternot be Increased to at least S2400 at an early date IDAHO STAFFJS SELECTED Will Bockci, or Sophomores, to Edit 'Gem of the Mountains." "UNIVERSITY OP IDAHO.

S. Beck and W. W. Harris 'Among Tliose Expressing Ap preciation of Modern System. UNIVERSITY OF OREGON. Eugene, March 22. (Special.) The reason why schools of journalism are succeeding have just been stated by a dozen great editors of the East to the secretary of the American Association of Teachers of Journalism. Not one of them ex pressed doubt of the large possibili ties in journalism teaching. Some of the expressions have Just been printed in the monthly news letteref the as sociation and are in part as follows: William Allen White, editor Emporia Gazette I am of the old school. For many years I have thought that schools for journalism did not teach much that was important, but I have had forced upon me a modification of my views. I believe that the best school of journalism, following a college educa tion, is practical aid in an intelligent newspaper office. But so many news paper offices are not intelligent and the training that boys get is so bad that I believe that, in the long run, better results may be obtained on the aver age by sending a boy to a school of journalism after he has had a college education than trusting to the luck of the newspaper offices. A first-class newspaper beats a first-class school of journalism as a training ground. Bdt the average school of Journalism beats the average newspaper office as a training ground, and anything beats a poor newspaper office. Sentiment More Favorable. E. S. Beck, managing editor Chicago Tribune In my opinion the need for special college training for young men intending to adopt newspaper work as a profession is becoming increasingly apparent. Beyond doubt it develops a sense of responsibility that is, a sense of accuracy in statement, of fairness in treatment and of breadth of isym pathy and Judgment. I think the feel ing that college courses in journalism rob the student of Individuality is dying out in newspaper offices. At any rate there is a growing realization of the seriousness of our profession, and this is aided by the schools. James Keeley, editor of the Chicago Herald University schools of journal ism, I believe, are doing a good work in America. Fifteen years ago the col lege man was not at all numerous in the reportorial ranks. Today one might say he is predominating. Let me add one personal word and suggestion: Pound, drive, drill, cram, force and in ject by any and every possible means into your students this one thought: accuracy accuracy not only in quoting correctly, but in the matter of names, addresses and the minutiae of repor torial work. W. W. Harris, managing editor New York Sun I believe thoroughly that a school of journalism can save a man from two to five years' time in attain ing a certain degree of proficiency without which he could not hope to succeed in the work of a newspaper man. These results, I believe, are to be attained by what is known in scholastic circles as "laboratory meth ods" of teaching, that is to say, by actual work as near as possible to the work which young reporters and corre spondents have to do. Richard H. Waldo, New York Tri bune We have a very high opinion of the schools of journalism from the point of view of general effioienc,y. Our city editor, B, E. MacAlarney, was for two years an Instructor at the Colum bia School: the editor of our woman's section is a graduate of the Missouri school. Applicants for positions with us find the possession of a diploma a very real asset. H. M. Crist, managing editor Brook lyn Daily Eagle I am encouraged to believe journalism, in the United States is to be placed on a much "higher plane as a result of the excellent courses now available for the training of news paper men.
