Mr. G-. <V. Reid Mr. W. N. Jitheriage Dr. W. P. Yant
I am sending you herewith copies of the following:
1. Excerpts from letter from F. R. Ingrain to the writer, June 7, 1946, with diagram and enclosure (copy of letter from </. P. Shepard to F.E.I., May 9, 1946).
2. Report;of A.P.H.A. on Educational qualifications of Indus trial Hygienists, July, 1941.
3. Report of A.F.K.A. on Desirable Qualifications of Nurses Appoin ed to Public Health Nursing Positions in Industry, July, 1939.
4. Paper on "What Industry Expects of Medicine," presented by Howard Strong at National Conference on Medical Service, Chicago, February 10, 1946.
Several further items will be distributed as soon as available.
Information received since June 20 indicates that, in addition to the committees of several other organizations mentioned in my letter of that date, the A.M.A. Council on Industrial Health and the A.A.I.P. and S. have committees working along lines similar to ours. This appears: to make it all the more imperative that there be full interchange of views between these committees, with pernaps, in due course, a meeting at wnich each is represented, in order tnat an epi demic of unrelated and probably conflicting reports may be avoided. Dr. Shepard's letter to Mr. In&ram is certainly constructively co operative, and I hope that Dr. Hussey will find it possible to con fer with Dr.| Selby to ascertain the extent to which the latter's views agree with Dr. Shepard's.
Apropos Mr. Ingram's terminological discussion, and with full expectation that a Jovian bolt will descend upon me for my temerity, I would like to suggest tnat "Occupational Health" makes far more sense than "Industrial Hygiene" ever did.*0
SJLncerely yours,
