Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Fifteenth International Congress on Hygiene and Demography, Held in Washington D. C., From September 16 to October 5, 1912: I. Some Lessons and Suggestions From the Exhibition, II. Digests of Some of the Papers Presented at the Congress When people have pure food, pure water, pure air, and are freed from the dust of houses, streets, and manufacturing industries; when they have good light and abundant sunshine, sanitary houses, barns, and outbuildings; when they are protected from germ carrying agencies, such as flies, mosquitoes, rats, mice, and all such pests; when they are protected from people who are carriers of dis ease germs, and taught how to disinfect their homes and communities; when they are taught to work and play, eat and sleep, dress and bathe, according to the laws of health; when they learn to care for their teeth and their eyes, the main problems of hygienic living will be solved and human life relieved of its greatest sources of suffering and disease. The attempt has been made in Part I of this bulletin to describe in a brief way some of the suggestive exhibits presented in connec tion with this congress. In no way does it attempt to give an adequate idea of the extent and richness of the exhibition as a whole, but merely to select a few exhibits that had more or less direct bear ing on school work and school conditions. Part II is made up of abstracts from a few Of the papers presented at the congress. A volume containing these abstracts was printed by the congress in English, and those here reproduced have been taken from this volume, with few changes.
