Cape Cod Health Bureau
Yarmouth, Mass., January 1, 1924
Board of Health,
Eastham, Mass.
Gentlemen :
One cannot measure the activities of an organization such as the Cape Cod Health Bureau in figures any more accurately than a fisherman can estimate his catch by the number of times he puts to sea. Many a long day of labor gives nothing definite to put on the report sheet at night other than miles travelled and people interviewed. Some months hence the seeds of that day will come to fruitition, -alone, unseen and unrecorded. Oftentimes the mother of a healthy family can better judge the results of her efforts in a negative way,-that is, by counting what has not hap- pened to cause worry, disease and expense, than by reckon- ing up the many little details carried out to keep them well.
So the following figures are not a dead reckoning of what has been accomplished but are an enumeration of the mile stones we are passing on the road to health-a record of a journey being made with the destination still a long way off. The real test of accomplishment is that feeling of security because we know that the boards of health have
55
actually banded together and hired trained assistants to protect our health.
At first it took a lot of faith to try this idea out, but now the most skeptical are admitting results. They now know that bad milk conditions can be made better and see these results all through the district. Recently the State Depart- ment of Agriculture has shown figures of great credit to the Cape, for we have had more cattle tested for the dread dis- ease of tuberculosis than any other community our size in Massachusetts. We have located and killed several cows with this disease and how much better to kill a few cows than a few children,-for that is just what such work means to your town and mine.
Last summer a children's specialist from Boston ap- proached me and said that he had been having inquiries from all over the United States as to where vacationists could get safe milk in this town or that on Cape Cod where they were coming for the summer. He went on to say that if we could not recommend some local dealers all he could do was to advise milk sent from Boston. The best part of it was that in nearly every town there was some good dairy that I could honestly recommend. At that time there were only a few herds known to be free from tuberculosis, and that was the milk they wanted. Next summer we will be in a position to talk about a whole lot of dairies. Isn't that good business for Cape Cod ?
Safe milk, clean water and healthy- shellfish were the most important problems confronting us, and hence, at- tended to first; and now, at the end of thirty months, with these things relatively secure, we are looking forward to the (nd of another year when the other food products of Cape Cod will be so well handled that this side of our health pro- gram will be second to none. Knowing what other towns
56
and cities are doing today, I believe I am secure in making this prophecy. Don't think that this will be child's play for many places are doing big things in this line also.
There are many minor problems, usually of local im- portance only, but which must be met and handled. To do this other than thru an organization such as ours would be needlessly expensive. The disposal of refuse, garbage and sewerage is assuming large proportions in many localities. While this comes under the board of health because of the occasional health problems arising, it is specifically a prob- lem in town management.
The towns in our district have been unusually free from contagious diseases except in one or two instances where villages were adjacent to towns outside of our con- trol. Here small epidemics started and also ended. It illus- trates the necessity of making this work a unit, and as soon as practical every town on Cape Cod should be in it. With the natural barriers that nature has provided by making our County a Cape and reasonable care within our borders, Cape Cod should be the safest place in the world to live.
I should like to take this opportunity to speak my grat- itude to the people of Cape Cod for their most friendly assistance in this demonstration, and also for their criticism, which I feel has been just as friendly as their praise. Differ- ences of opinion there have been and always will be as long as people dwell together, but honest opinions based upon facts are the best materials for a permanent structure. Such a structure you and my able successor can make of the Cape Cod Health Bureau, and may it be a national ex- ample of what is best in rural health work.
Respectfully submitted,
RUSSELL B. SPRAGUE, M. D., Health Officer, Cape Cod Health Bureau, Agent of the Board of Health.

The School Trarhers' Creed
I BELIEVE IN BOYS AND GIRLS, the men and women of a great tomorrow; that whatsoever the boy sow- eth the man shall reap. I believe in the curse of ignorance, in the efficacy of schools, in the dignity of teaching, and in the joy of serving others. I believe in wisdom as revealed in human lives as well as in the pages of a printed book, in lessons taught, not so much by precept as by example, in ability to work with the hands as well as to think with the head, in everything that makes life large and lovely.
I believe in beauty in the schoolroom, in the home, in daily life and in out-of-doors. I believe in laughter, in love, in faith, in all ideals and distant hopes that lure us on. I believe that every hour of every day we receive a just re- ward for all we are and all we do. I believe in the present and its opportunities, in the future and its promises and in the divine joy of living. Amen.
EDWIN OSGOOD GROVER.
