Resolution that State Medical Association extend thanks to both the cities of Athens and Jefferson for their most pleasant and cordial entertainment during our meeting. We, the Councilors, after a free and full consideration of the house-fly charges as brought against the members of that committee, having knowledge of the advertisements on the circular, find, that while the advertisements contained in the circular were irregular and un-ethical, we believe the accused members were acting as they thought for the best interest of the Association, and at the same time having in mind the saving of expense to the Association, and We the Board of Councilors in our previous report never insinuated or stated that we found the accused members of this Committee guilty of anything more than an error of judgment, and we see no reason to change our minds in that respect. But we the Board of Councilors are willing and anxious that these members be retained in full and free fellowship of the Association, provided the component Societies to which the gentlemen are amenable find no cause to take other action. We also find that Dr. J. E. Paullin and Dr. J. H. Bassett had no knowledge whatsoever of the issuing of the circular, and are completely exhonorated as far as our jurisdiction is concerned.

The Committee on Tuberculosis reported through its Chairman, Dr. Pumpelly, as follows: President and Medical Association of Georgia, Gentlemen: We, the members of the Committee of Tuberculosis, desire to make the following report of our work. Our first meeting was held in Atlanta, Ga., August 17, 1909. At that meeting the following was adopted: (Minutes) The Committee held its first meeting in Atlanta, on August 17th, 1909. Dr. R. R. Kime, of Atlanta; Dr. C. H. Richardson, of Montezuma; Dr. E. E. Murphey, of Augusta, and Dr. W. C. Pumpelly, of Macon, being present. Dr. Walter Wilson, of Savannah, was unable to attend. Dr. Kime was elected chairman and Dr. Pumpelly, secretary. After considering various ways of proceeding in our campaign of educating the public in the prophylaxis of tuberculosis, the committee decided that most good could be accomplished by giving lectures in the public schools, by issuing pamphlets to be used in the 7th and 8th grades as a part of the course of study, and by supplying the schools with posters or wall-charts for the 4th and 5th grades. It was thought advisable to recommend to the State Superintendent of Education that a day be set apart in the school year to be known as Health Day; and at this time lectures could be given by the members of the local society. Dr. Kime conferred with the State Superintendent of Education, who seemed agreeable to the plan, and suggested that the Committee put into his hands at an early date a bulletin or program, for Health Day; also, posters for the school rooms. It was the opinion of the Committee that if the notification and registration of tuberculosis cases could be inaugurated, and made compulsory upon local authorities it could not but be productive of good. "Since Tuberculosis is known to be an infectious and communicable taken towards controlling it would be to require each case to be promptly reported to the proper authorities as is done with other communicable diseases." And that this might be accomplished it was decided that the following recommendations be made to the State Association at its next meeting: That county Boards of Health be established in all counties in this State, and that the Association request the State Board of Health to exercise its authority in the establishment of said Boards. That a bill be introduced in the General Assembly to make it compulsory upon all county and municipal Boards of Health to require the reporting and registering of all tuberculosis cases occurring in their jurisdiction and that they make regular report of the same to the State Board of Health; and that said Boards be required to furnish all tuberculosis cases with pamphlets setting forth such rules and information as may help the affected one to care for himself, and prevent his infecting other members of the household. Said pamphlet to first receive the endorsement of the State Board of Health or local Board of Health. That all houses that have been occupied by tuberculosis cases be fumigated, and that the fumigation be made obligatory upon the owner of the premises. That persons who are known to be tubercular shall not be allowed to teach in the public schools, and that a school quarantine be established against known tuberculosis children. And that a bill be introduced to provide for regular dairy and cattle inspection throughout the State, and for the medical inspection of schools. It was agreed that an effort be made to organize a State Society, to be known as the Georgia Anti-Tuberculosis and Sanitary Society; the organization to be started through the Mayor and Council of the cities and |
