Sanitation—Its Relation to Health and Life
In an able address before the Sanitary Engineering Division of the Society on January 16, 1923, Harrison P. Eddy, M. Am. Soc. C. E., described the present ·status of sanitary engineering and outlined its scopes and activities. The speaker wishes to present an even more fundamental aspect of sanitation, namely, its relation to health and life.
The subject cannot be discussed logically without first considering some of the words commonly used in connection with it. What is meant by health. This word comes from the old Anglo-Saxon word, “haelth”. There are several allied words, such as “hale”, “whole”, “wholesome”, and “holy”. This idea of wholeness seems to be fundamentally involved. Health applies to the whole body. The common expression, “all right”, gives the proper idea. Health is bodily “all rightness”.
