Sanitation of Small Tov^ns.
We hoar much of tho reduction In
the death rate of largo cities in recent
years, but very little about the im-
provement of the health of small
towns It Is well known, say s the In

Responsibilities of Officers and Di-
rectors.
Evidently President Klngslev of tho
Haw York Lttt Insurance company
has learned the great lesson of tho
times with respect to the responsibil-
ity and duty of directors of corpora-
tions. Speaking to the new board of
trustees, on the occasion of his elec-
tion to the presidency , ho emphasised
Vho fact that "life insurance is more
than a private business, that life in-
surance trustees are public servants,
charged at once with the obligations
of public service and with tho respon-
sibilities that attach to a going busl
ness which at the same time must be
administered as a trust."
He also realises that similar respon-
sibilities rest upon tho officers of the
company. "I understand," he says,
"your anxiety in selecting the men
who are day by day to carry this bur
den for you, who are to discharge this
trust in your behalf, who are to ad
minister for the benefit of the people
involved the multitudinous and exact-
ing details to which it is impossible
for you to give personal attention. My*
long connection with the New York
Life—covering nearly twenty years—
<jv service in abont every branch of
viae company's working organisation,
gives me, as 1 believe, a profound ap-
preciation. not merely of the heavy
burden you have placed on my shoul-
ders. but of the standards of efficiency,
the standards of faith, the standards
of integrity, which must be main-
tained at all times by the man who
servos you and the policyholders in
this high office."
Host of all. perhaps he feels that
words are cheap, and that the public
will be satisfied with nothing short of
performance. "My thanks, therefore,"
he continues, for an honor which out-
ranks any distinction w ithin the reach
of my ambition, cannot be expressed
in words; they* must be read out of
the record 1 :r.aV.e day by day."
