ir inspections, study those records, find out work not
done properly or promptly, and insist upon thorough inspection.

Whether work is done right, whether inspectors do their full duty,
whether babies are protected, can be learned only from statements in
black and white that show accurately the conditions of dairies and milk
shops, the character of milk found and tested by inspectors, and the
number of babies known to have been sick or known to have died from
intestinal diseases chiefly due to unsafe milk. Any teacher or parent
can learn for himself, or can teach children to learn, what steps are
taken to guarantee the right to pure milk by using a table such as
Table III. Whether conditions at the dairy make pure milk impossible
can be told by any one who can read the score card used by New York
City (Table IV).
