Excerpt from A Narrative: Of the Work Done in a Year by the Boston Association for the Relief and Control of Tuberculosis

The value Of this legislation depends entirely on the fitness Of those selected to carry out its provisions. Governor Guild was especially fortunate in the selection of these health scouts. They are so alert that they have already found work to do beyond their individual strength, and it would be economy for the state to give them proper assistance. With such a staff at large it seems a safe prophecy that local health boards will soon cease to be mere policemen enforcing fumigation and vaccination ordinances, and will become more efficient in protecting health and developing vitality.

Two other laws of 1907 to which attention should be called are those making improper expectoration in public places an Offence punishable by a fine of $20 (and permitting summary arrest of such Offenders without a warrant), and relieving per sons suffering from tuberculosis from classification as paupers by reason Of any expenditure made for their relief from this disease by their town or the Commonwealth.
