Excerpt from The Public Health Nurse, Vol. 11: June, 1919 But the greater part of all the waste of life, health and happiness which occurs in backward States and territories could be obviated if there were a central Department of Health in Washington with sufii cient power to unionize the health standards of the United States. It should not be possible for States under one central government to remain oblivious of standards and procedure which obtain in more highly developed communities. Matters of such universal importance should not be arrived at through the slow process of evolution - they should be a part of the boon that the Central Government is able to confer and whose adoption it is able to exact. No one section of the country can stand in judgment on another, however, so long as there remains an uneven development of opinion and practice even in those sections where there is most interest and the largest outlay for the promotion of health. There are backward communities in every State, and the knowledge and practice of many groups and individuals in communities in which knowledge and prae tice are supposedly most advanced fall far below any standard which should be admitted as a minimum for the nation as a whole.
