depressing feature thut I must tako away with zie. The zeal that has been mentioned must al- ready have Infected others and whatever the apathy of the past this is most hopeful for the future, It is, I always feel, that rather self satisfled complacency, so easily acquired here, which is sQ dan- gerous. Personally, I am one of those restless, perhaps unfortunate people, who are never quito satia fied. Nothing is so good that it might not be botter, and some dis content, even some indignation, is a good sign. It is the sauce to the more stodgy routine fare of life.

If I have contributed nothing else to public health hore, I have at least dragged some of its old carpets into the open, beaten them in the wind, and taken an inven- tory as it were of its more moth enten effects and sorted them out. I have, I hope, set the ball rolling and it is for others now to keep it going. With some of the rough work begun, and with these facts and data before him, my successor should have a much casier task to perform.

Struggle for Proper Title. My impressions when I arrived here were that public health and preventative medicine, as the most important and fundamental factors in modern civilisation had scarcely been considered. True, there was "scavenging but it practically began and ended at that.

It has scarcely yet been realised that not only is health a funda mental essential to life, but the ir reducible base on which all pros perity is calculated.

Is it too much to ask that its ministers be acknow ledged and honoured in some pro portion to the value of their ser-

vices.?

That I have not always had the power nor the opportunity to ranke more practical use of my knowledge for five years is unfortunate and leads me to one of the reasons for my resignation in spite of the proverb and however skilful the workman he cannot produce the high standard with more material and indifferent tools.

In science half measures and com- promise have no place. It deals with facts and facts are not always pleasant, nor are the purveyors always popular. Perhaps this ac- counts for my sudden rise to fame on the eve of my departure!

Among many other reasons I may not specify those of a depart mental character, but I can mention some personal ones as they affect my daily life and career. For in- stance I might remind you that, in any case, I am only the acting M.O.H. After a prolonged struggle I have got my correct title of 2nd M.OH., and very shortly if were staying even, I should no longer be a member of your Board, no longer perhaps, have any per sonal control of Public Health mat- ters. I should return again to that comfortable clerical position which is designated "and staff.".

For a young man starting his career this is not enough.

No doubt after many years of peaceful hours in the chorus or as an understudy, I should be given a leadin part. But by then my life's career would be nearly over."

I Choose to Go," Long residence abroad and my advancing years would destroy all hope in these rapid competitive days of a post at Home. It is a question of staying on this little far-away island for all my active years or of "going while going's good. I choose to go.

The Motion Defeated. The President, Mr. W. J. Carrie, said that he appreciated the value and proved capabilities, and ex- perience of the M.O.H. and also his onthusiasm and boundless energy. He did not think the Board was one to make representations to the Government of this kind. Mr. Carrie explained that the Senior Medical Officer of Health was at present on leave.
