title: COMMON-SENSE VERSUS CUSTOM IN THE APPOINTMENT OF HEALTH OFFICIALS.
abstract: Once on a time only a minister was deemed fit to be president of a college; more recently only a doctor has been thought competent to be a health officer. Both situations have changed. The college selects the business man of broad vision, while the fitness of the trained engineer for health officer is fast becoming evident.
