There are fewer physicians in the

rural sections oi' ‘the countrythnn in the cities ;' _there are very .few nurses, and practically not hospi-tal facilities in rural regions. In some communities even in the older states, there is only one, physicln to 1,500 people and many oasescan be found where there is one physician to 3,000 people, while the average for the cities is generally about one physician to 650 people.

The inadequate supply of phyisc-

ians in the country is not due to the superior health ot the people; 'there is just as much work needing to be done by the physician in rural as in urban sections. .'l‘lle reason is rather to be iound in the lack'oi means ot getting around the country without extreme hardships... It---is becoming harder and harder ior the young medi- cal graduate to choose a rural loca- tion where he must face intolerable travelling conditions ior the greater part oi the year.. Alter nine years of training for his profession, there is small appeal in the prospect even of a good practice, when the hardships oi, -travel over the country roads are tak en into account. Yet lrundreds oi young medical/graduateswould by ln- clination favor a rural practice 'ii it were possible to avoid the unhappy features oi country -travel. The prob- lem is important to physicians, not only because it is diil‘icu_lt`to -travel through mud to see their patients, but also because lt is quite dliilcult, ii' not impossible, to transport patients needing special care, or to consult with specialists at a distance or to consult with other general_,praction- ers.

The results of these conditions have

been serious. The dmth rate ot the country districts is only slightly lower than the city and has not improved as rapidly as in the city; the sick ness rate is no more favorable; the proportion of young men physically unilt for the army was nearly as great in spite ot the hpasted physical prow ess of the .country, and all surveys have proved that a higher percentage oi curable detects is found among rur al children--than among city children.

But -there is a worse condition still.

The number of deaths oi women in child-birth is proportionately greater in the country, and the number oi bab ies -who die within, the first thirti' days after birth is iar greater. Forty .per cent ot all the babies that die in their iirst year iathecitiesdiewith- in thirty days after birth, while the corresponding tigure for the country districts is forty seven' per cent. No better index oi medical care could be given than these facts. They tell the story that nearly every one knows.; viz., 'that adequate medical care is not available tor the rural mothers and

babies. '

Good roads wouldenable the rural

sections to secure nursing and special ists' services which are now practical- ly impossible in many sections. Much of the future development _oi public health »work,v isitiug nursing and medi- cal service generally in -the rural com munitles depends upon the develop- ment oi good' roads. It is quite lm- possible to provide such service ei~ iectively under present conditions. ..

There is also looming up the possi-

bility ot a. rural hospital service with iacllitles `ior transportation tn, and care in, community hospitals in which the facilities tor dlagnosisand care would tar exceed the meager provis- ions oi the home. The coming oi good

roads will hasten the development.
