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.
