SOCIAL HYGIENE: TO ; BE THE SLOGAN IN A WIDE CAMPAIGN Splendid Gold Medal Exhibit Which Was Magnet at San Francisco Brought Here. OREGON HAS A BIG LEAD Stat Has Made Harked Progress ' Along XJaes of Promoting Hjr-. - glenlc Methods Among People. With Portland as the starting point. h American Social Hygiene associa tion has Inaugurated a nation-wide educational campaign for the purpose of" enlightening the American people concerning the many grave problem of "social hygiene. The aplendid gold medal exhibit, which attracted tena of thousands of visitors during the Panama-Pacific exposition, Aaa tbeen brought, to Portland through the In fluence of the Oregon Social Hygiene society and will be , on display for the next two or three weeks at 383 Washington street, ground floor of the 'Selling-Hlrsch building, where it will be shown free during that . time. The exhibit will be open to every .man, woman, boy and girl of the. city 'and will be in direct charge of Dr. Thomas D. Eliot, in charge of the Pa cific coast division of the American association, who, until two years ago, was field secretary for the social hy giene movement in Oregon. . The first exhibition was made yes terday and hundreds of persons, young and old, visited the exhibit parlor and ... studied, the, fine array of charts, maps, models, albums, pictures, etc., that make up the display. It was largely because Dr. Eliot is - a, :v former Fortlander that the Oregon society secured the first chance to place this elaborate system of social hygiene studies oh view here, "Oregon stands so far ahead of most of the states in the progress made in this vitally Important movement," said Dr. Eliot yesterday, "that the American association thought it would be wisest policy to start the exhibit on its swing around the country here In Portland, where the most systematic and. effective pioneering in this com paratively new field has been done." . Not only is it a very Complete ex hibit, but it is attractively gotten up and artistically presented. It takes up the fundamental problems of the hu- , man race and one of its vital de rartments Is devoted to the home, un der which head it deals with marriage, parenthood, the family and a certain phase of the social evil. "Other subjects' related to our so cial hygiene campaign, which are cov ered, are. biology, eugenics, hygiene, 'medicine, 5 public health, sociology.
