    A WELCOME TO CAMBRIDGE HE students of the second Summer School were welcomed to Cambridge by Dr. Marjorie Back, who, speaking as one closely identified with their work, as a Vice-President of the Women Public Health Officers’ Association and as an old Newnham student, advised them to spend their spare time picking each other’s brains and to return to their areas determined to make the responsible authorities’ lives a burden until their good suggestions were adopted. The welcome was repeated by ALDERMAN PETT, Chairman of the Cambridge Public Health Committee, who recalled that the Borough and County of Cambridge had been pioneers in public health work. A volun- tary association had been formed in 1906 to support the idea of health visiting, and in 1917 a grant of £80 per annum was secured for the purpose from the public authority—a small beginning from which much had grown. The cure of ill-health was beneficent ; the prevention of ill-health was still better ; but the real aim of public health work should be to secure positive good health for everyone. nea merece ~ | XY) : | , Ups taesed ; ho tf U =o VAT os 07 SS SU LL { ‘ ] { E
